Christie Brinkley knows how to show up and show out, and yes, we’re referring to the gorgeous coastal-chic outfit she flaunted for a ‘fit check.’ Her look gives instant Hamptons rich mom style, thanks to a few staple pieces that are flowy, comfortable and downright flattering. We’re obsessing over the entire ensemble, but her striped top really seals the nautical deal.

The supermodel was on her way to a Solving Kids Cancer benefit when she stopped to give fans a glimpse at her outfit of the day. For the rainy weather, Brinkley styled a yellow waterproof jacket over a Jean Paul Gaultier maxi skirt, adding a wicker tote bag, rope belt and Loewe sandals. However, what gave the star’s outfit that quintessential beachy look was her top, which she calls “a classic French T-shirt.” We may not know where she got her exact shirt, but we found a near-identical option that transitions so well from summer to fall.

The LilyCoco Striped Long-Sleeve Shirt is relaxed yet polished, giving the same vibes as Brinkley’s top for (probably) much less than her actual style. In fact, this shirt is 66% off right now on Amazon, bringing the price down to only $10 — although no one would ever think you got this elevated-looking pick for such a steal.

Similar to Brinkley’s choice, this Amazon find has a white base with blue Breton stripes, long sleeves and a high neckline. We also really like the elongating boatneck style, which is super trendy at the moment. Brinkley didn’t tuck her top in, but the loose fit allows you to do so with jeans, trousers and skirts.

Made from a cotton-blend fabric, the shirt is ideal for both summer and fall events. It’s breathable and light enough for warm temperatures and layering-friendly days. Shoppers confirm that the body-fitting shirt is soft, provides a decent amount of stretch and feels structured, so you can wear it over and over without showing ‘wear.’

Brinkley isn’t the only one fawning over the Breton shirt style. Over 800 shoppers gave the piece a perfect five-star rating, including one person ready to buy it in other colors.

“The fit was perfect, and the fabric looked much more expensive,” they wrote. “I have worn it with jeans and under a sweater to dress it up. The cut is very flattering and versatile to wear at several different places. I received several compliments.”

Another person who claims to be a “clothing snob” wrote, “I feel the quality of this tee is as nice as the Boden tops, and I do own a few of them. I will definitely be ordering more of these in more colors!”

You may not have a benefit event to attend, but that shouldn’t stop you from scoring this chic striped tee to channel Brinkley’s look. And because the top transitions well from season to season, you’ll get so much use out of it! Grab the on-sale shirt now while it’s only $10.
