We love warmer days, lighter nights, and packed-out calendars that come with the summer months. But when plans exceed the pieces in your closet, avoid clothing conundrums with our new selection of cute summer tops. Here to keep your top half covered and looking its best this season.
Summer has arrived, choose from bright bandeaus and white summer blouses to mesh summer going out tops. We heart cute summer tops that are versatile. Dress down yours with a distressed pair of jean shorts and chunky sneakers, or dial up a sexy summer top with mini skirt and strappy heeled sandals.
Casual Summer Tops: Graphic Tees
Casual summer tops are made for lounging around the park or grabbing an alfresco brunch. This summer, we can’t get enough of the graphic tee. Seen on our favorite celebs in this summer’s recent music festivals, style a casual, cropped graphic t-shirt with jean shorts and cowboy boots for a laidback western look. Or why not style an oversized graphic summer t-shirt over comfy track shorts, perfect for those early morning hikes or late-night summer strolls.
Sexy Summer Tops: Bodysuits
As much as we love dreamy summer days, our hearts are pulled to late summer nights. A summer night out is the ultimate end to a day of lounging in the sun. Think backless, plunging, or mesh numbers for summer going out tops to keep you cool in warmer temperatures and busy bars. Show off that silhouette and style a bandage bodysuit as a sexy summer top – paired with tailored shorts or micro skirts. Team yours with strappy heels to elongate those legs. Top tip: add a swipe of loose highlighter to the center of the legs for an exaggerated summer glow.
White Summer Tops: Shirts
White is a failsafe essential for keeping cool in the summer. The light color reflects the sunlight and, by choosing a white summer shirt in poplin or linen fabric, you’ll feel cool and comfortable even in the warmest temperatures. For a summer festival, opt for an oversized white summer shirt styled open with mom shorts and knee high cowboy boots. Or pair a cute summer shirt tucked into faux leather shorts and mules for after work cocktails or a last minute day drinking outfit.
Black Summer Tops: Crop Tops
Maybe it’s not the first color that springs to mind when we think of summer, but wearing black is all about choosing the right style and fabric. When teamed up with a classic crop top, it’s difficult to go wrong. A cropped black bralette with wide-leg plisse pants is the perfect combo for bar hopping, or, show off the stomach and style a silky, strappy crop top with wide-leg jeans for a chilled dinner with friends. A black summer top is versatile, ultra sexy, and pairs well with pretty much anything in your bottom half closet: patterned flares, cargo pants, and relaxed-fit boyfriend jeans included.
Plus Size Summer Tops: Blouses
A summer of love – loving our plus size summer tops that is. Made to complement your favorite jeans, shorts, and skirts with little to no effort and maximum impact. This summer, we’re going crazy for light, breathable blouses that feature a wrap waist, creating a feminine hourglass silhouette. Square neck blouses are also ultra-flattering and are great for balancing out a bigger bust. Keep cool in a short puff sleeve plus size blouse, or for after-hours, style a floral print blouse with tailored shorts and strappy stilettos.
