In an article for New York Magazine, Hilary Reid advocates for this American Apparel top: “...I woke up, did yoga on my bedroom floor, worked at my desk, made lunch, went back to my desk, FaceTimed with friends, and rewatched Succession in bed. I have a feeling I’ll be putting on the racerback one to do it all again tomorrow.” Find this versatile top on Amazon starting at $9.
