Recently on Instagram, I was asked, “If you could only shop in one place for the rest of your life, where would it be?” The answer to that question has changed a LOT over the past decade as my style has evolved. When I was living in Utah (I’m from there!), I was not as partial to the preppy, feminine brands that I saw on women in the South, but in the last few years, that’s what I’ve started gravitating towards. I guess that’s what living in the South for almost two decades will do to you.
So, the answer to that question now? Hands down, Tuckernuck. I love almost every single thing they carry. It’s impressive to me that their clothes are great for both 20-somethings and the 41-year-old mom like me. It’s classic, American, and feminine – everything I want my style to be.
Tuckernuck has become my go-to for my closet and gifts, and I have a handful of roundups on the blog:
The brand was started by Jocelyn Moore Gailliot, Madeline Moore, and September Rinnier in 2012. It has grown into a huge online retailer since then. They source their women’s clothes from only the best designers, and I’ve been introduced to some of my favorite brands through them.
I’m rounding up my favorite Tuckernuck tops and sweaters from their current selection (the Tuckernuck blouses are also really fun right now). Funny enough, I always struggle to buy tops. Dresses feel like more “practical” purchases since they’re an entire outfit on their own, and since nice blouses are expensive (and only 1/2 of an outfit), I usually need a push to make the purchase.
But as a busy mom who has strong feelings about the best jeans and the best white sneakers, I need to invest in some breathable, feminine tops and sweaters that I can wear during the warmer months. Here’s what I’m loving lately.
1. Long Sleeve Piqué Puff-Sleeve Peggy PoloI got the Navy Long Sleeve Pique Holmes Boyfriend Polo back in the fall, and it has a boxy silhouette but still feels feminine. It gives that classic polo look that feels old school but still modern and polished, which is why I love it so much.
If you love this look, but want something a little more fitted, this puff sleeve polo is similar, just with a little more shoulder detail. Both are great options to add a little prep to your outfit (here are more preppy wardrobe staples) and work with jeans, skirts, or layered under sweaters. Throw on flats, loafers, or any of these cute white sneakers.

2. Pique Puff Sleeve Peggy Polo
This Puff Sleeve Peggy Polo is the short-sleeve version of the one I mentioned above. It’s the perfect spring and summer top that makes you feel cute with the puff sleeve, but can give you a professional edge through the collar detail if you need it. I paired this top with these wide-leg jeans and also included this look in my guide on how to style wide-leg jeans.

3. Pale Green Trellis Floral Ada Tank
The Pale Green Ada Tank is a fresh and feminine favorite. The soft trellis print screams spring and summer to me, and I love how it’s stunning paired with crisp white jeans or the matching Pale Green Floral Addy Pants. I’d personally wear it with any of these white jeans.

4. Black Cotton Adams Shirt
The Black Cotton Adams Shirt is the timeless classic piece every closet needs. It’s crisp, effortless, versatile, and a solid option for any business-casual dress code. This top can be dressed up or down, and it’s breezy enough to wear in the humid south.
I own the Sofia Shirt, which is pretty similar, just a little more cropped and structured. Every wardrobe benefits from a great black shirt, and this one is a gorgeous choice.

5. White Pique Sleeveless Ruffle Margaret Polo
I could wear a polo every day of my life, and this sleeveless ruffle polo is great for summer. If it’s chilly in my office, I throw a cardigan or blazer over it. The delicate ruffle placket is adorable, and the pique texture gives it a subtle, elevated feel. You could just as easily pair this with jean shorts as a tennis skirt.

6. Mocha Stripe Parker Classic Tee
The Parker Classic Tee is one of those Tuckernuck shirts that’s all about casual cool, especially in the mocha stripe. The warm mocha tones and subtle stripes give it a laid-back yet stylish look that’s perfect with jeans, skirts, or under a cozy cardigan. I like that this striped tee is in a different colorway than the standard black & white or navy & white, but it’s still totally timeless and works with everything!

7. Woodbine and Junebug Stripe Swiftie Rugby Polo
This is probably the trendiest top of the bunch, but I love rugby shirts, and I’ve loved this style for multiple years, so it makes the list! I’m not usually a rugby polo girl, but the Woodbine and Junebug Stripe Rugby Polo has totally won me over by combining three of my favorite things: Tuckernuck, stripes, and a collar.
Pair it with any of these wide-leg jeans, my favorite white jeans for a lunch date, half-tucked into a skirt for a casual athleisure outfit.

A good button-down (or five) is a must in my closet, and the French Blue Stripe colorway of this button-down feels different from the rest I own. It’s giving coastal, but still everyday appropriate. It’s a classic relaxed button-down that makes it great for layering or wearing on its own.

9. Navy Cashmere Bodie Boyfriend Crewneck
The slightly relaxed, boyfriend fit of the Cashmere Bodie Crewneck feels elevated but never sloppy, and the cashmere is incredibly soft without being too precious. It’s the kind of classic you can throw on with jeans, trousers, or over a dress and feel instantly pulled together. It looks just as cute with tailored pants as it does half-tucked into your favorite denim – here’s mine.

10. Sandstone and Ivory Stripe Cotton William Crewneck
As you probably know, I’m a sucker for anything striped, and this striped cotton crewneck is no exception. It’s an everyday classic since it’s soft and breathable, but still just the right amount of traditional. This sweater would be beautiful with trousers (if you have a pair you like, let me know – I’ve been on the hunt for some), or you could easily throw it on with jeans and sneakers.

11. Navy Cashmere Cassie V-Neck Sweater
This Cassie V-Neck Sweater from Tuckernuck is one of the classiest sweaters I’ve seen, and the fact that it’s cashmere makes it that much better. The deep navy hue is timeless, and the cashmere is so luxurious. I’m a big fan of the V-neck shape, which gives it a chic, feminine edge. A sweater like this makes you feel confident no matter where you go, and can easily be layered over a white tee. I tried a ton of white tees for you – here’s the best one.
If you love cashmere but not the price, here are all of my favorite cashmere sweaters under $200.

12. Sandstone Cashmere Riley Cardigan
A cardigan is a wardrobe staple. The Cashmere Riley Cardigan is a really nice spring option because the cashmere lends a softness, but the sweater itself is super light. It layers beautifully over a tank or tee, or with dresses and skirts! The only thing I’ll note is that it runs a little longer than it looks, so if you’re shorter like me, you may want to consider sizing down (if length is a priority).

13. Mocha Cashmere Boyfriend Bodie Crewneck
A classic crewneck like the Boyfriend Bodie Crewneck will always have a spot in my closet. The weight of this one is great year-round, and the mocha color works for all seasons since it’s lovely styled to style with both light and rich tones. I particularly love this sweater with white jeans and loafers (these are the best loafers to wear with jeans). The relaxed fit is great for a front tuck or totally untucked.

I’m a big fan of cardigans like the Knot Button Pheobe Cardigan, where the length hits just at the hip and the shape is both classic and cozy. The knot buttons are a standout detail and add a special, feminine component. I think this cardigan would honestly work with anything – jeans, trousers, over dresses, or jean shorts in the warmer months.

15. Cropped Beachwood Cotton Americana Sweater
If you’ve seen the Tuckernuck American flag sweater I’ve raved about for years, the Cropped Beachwood Cotton Americana Sweater has the same Americana vibe, but is a bit more cropped, and a little more versatile with the neutral colorway and classic fit. I own three different flag sweaters, but this one is my very favorite! I wear it year-round.
If you know me, you know the 4th of July is my favorite holiday (here’s some 4th of July outfit inspo), so I might just have to snag it myself.
