Summer tops don’t just have to be tanks or sleeveless shirts. While tank tops are perfect for soaking up some sun and keeping you cool, different types of lightweight shirts are also perfectly good in the hot weather. Linen is one type of fabric that is good in the summer, but crinkle gauze fabric is another and it’s kind of underrated. However, one of Old Navy ’s most popular button-downs is made with this and has shoppers obsessed with their new favorite summer staple. (Plus it looks like a style sold at Nordstrom that’s five times the price.)

We’re talking about Old Navy’s Crinkle Gauze Button-Down Top . It’s a very relaxed, loose-fitting collared button-down short-sleeved shirt made out of 100% cotton. It “hits high on the hip” so it’s not too long but definitely not a crop top. The shirt also has a seamed back yoke for a very put-together style and a textured look and feel thanks to the crinkle gauze.

Crinkle Gauze Button-Down Top , $7.97–$24.99 at Old Navy

This button-down shirt was originally $24.99 for all six colors. While three colors—Black Jack, White Lilies and Bare Ground (olive green)—are still $24.99, two very summery colors—Warm Sunset (reddish-orange) and Golden Lantern (mustard yellow)—are on sale for $12.47. Polarized Pink is the most reduced price, costing $7.97 right now.

And if those colors aren’t enough to prove that it’s a perfect-for-summer top, check out the shirt’s 2.8k+ reviews and ratings. One person wrote that the shirt “Looks amazing on" while another wrote that it was "Soft and cool wear for the hot summer days."

"Great fit and fabric," another person wrote in their review. "Love the fabric and the fit. Perfect for the summer heat."

Caslon Cotton Gauze Camp Shirt , $59.50 at Nordstrom

Another plus to this Old Navy crinkle gauze shirt is that it looks a lot like Caslon’s Cotton Gauze Camp Shirt , which is $59.50 at Nordstrom. It’s the same exact style of shirt: a collared, short-sleeve button-down shirt with a loose fit. It’s also made with 100% cotton and a gauze texture. The Caslon shirt has a front pocket, which Old Navy’s doesn’t have, but it has the same seam in the back.

So if you’re looking for a nicer shirt that can be dressed up or down (and that’s a cool fabric for the summer heat), Old Navy’s Crinkle Gauze Button-Down Top is worth checking out.
