Around the last time New York’s streets topped 85 degrees, I surveyed my fellow Strategist colleagues:What do you use to stay cool during a heat wave?Their responses included no fewer than five differentportable fans, someFrench facial mist, and this breezy cotton top fromJ.Crewthat our senior editor Hilary Reid describes as feeling “as if you’re wearing nothing while still being work-appropriate.” While some of the more solid colors — like a seasonal butter yellow and simple white — are even cheaper but low in stock, this nautical striped version is available in most sizes and should arrive well before the next heat wave hits the city. It’s just $40 with the 50 percent off discount code SHOPSALE, which means the top will likely be joining me during my next weekend at the beach.
