Martha Stewart Ditched Frumpy Sweatshirts for the Polished Layer That's Perfect for Summer Travel—From $14

Let’s face it: Summer is sartorially confusing. Between drafty airports, chilly offices, and afternoon temperature spikes, layers are a serious nonnegotiable. Luckily, Martha Stewart just reminded me that easy pullovers can actually look polished if they’re styled properly. So this summer, I’m ditching bulky sweatshirts and chunky knits for Stewart’s rich-looking half-zips, especially while so many good options are marked down during Prime Day.  

The multihyphenate took to Instagram in the chicest version of the foolproof layer she’s worn for years. She paired a lightweight knit zip-up pullover with flattering jeans and comfortable sandals. Hello, new go-to summer outfit formula! Below, browse through similar pieces to replicate her look—starting at just $14 during Amazon Prime Day. (Yes, $14.)
