We are officially in the dog days of summer. It’s hot, everyone is miserable, and getting dressed feels like a chore. As someone who lives in Florida, I know the struggle far too well but I’ll take it if it means sunshine! Over the years, I’ve gotten very good at finding tops that are not only cute, but can be worn in the hot summer months. The key is to pay attention to fabrics like linen, cotton, rayon, and bamboo. And as silly as it sounds, merino wool is a really great fabric for summer because it helps regular the body temperature. To make shopping easier though, I’m sharing up 12 tops to wear this summer! I either currently own, or have owned, these tops in the past and can speak on how great they all are!
12 Tops to Wear This Summer
Square Neck Top
This is one of my favorite tops for summer! It’s lightweight and breathable and the fabric is so pretty. I love the texture of it and the ruffle sleeve detail is so cute. Wear with high waisted shorts, jeans, or trousers!
Knit Crop Tank
The knit tank has taken the fashion world by storm this year and this fun contrasting trim one is so pretty. I love wearing this with jeans for girls nigh out. Plus, it’s playful without being too revealing.
Stripe Short Sleeve Top
When it comes to lightweight tops, this one takes the cake! It’s a stretchier fabric so it flows nicely and looks so cute tucked in. It comes in a few other colors and is under $20.
Cap Sleeve V-Neck Top
A classic black top is a must in any closet, yes — even in the summer! This v-neck top will go with anything in your closet and can easily be dressed up or down.
Sleeveless Keyhole Top
For the days you have to be in the office, this top is a great option to pair with trousers, skirts, or even an elevated pair of jeans. On the weekends, pair it with straight leg denim and a fun shoe for an evening out.
Patterned Side Split Tank
This colorful top is such a fun way to add a pop of color to your summer wardrobe, while staying cool. This top features a split hem on the sides that allow it to fall naturally without being tight to your body. Give it a front tuck to help elevated it a little more or leave it untucked for those more casual days.
Knit Color Block Stripe Tee
I love this muted color block stripe tee! It’s perfect for those casual days and looks so cute with leggings and with jean shorts.
Off the Shoulder Fitted Top
This is the ultimate going out top for summer! It’s fitted through the stomach and looks cute tucked in fully or untucked. The one shoulder detailing is so chic and can easily be dressed up for dressier occasions. Try it with straight leg jeans or a slip skirt!
Lace Crochet Top
If you’re looking for an elevated blouse that leans more feminine, this lace crochet top is going to be your new favorite. The dot detailing is so darling and I love the crochet trim on the sleeves. So pretty for the summer months!
Graphic Oversized Tank
Every summer wardrobe needs a good graphic oversized tank for those days that it’s too hot out to function. This one has been in my wardrobe for a few seasons now; it’s so soft and I love how the yellow pops against the blue.
Scoop Neck Flowy Tank
This tank is giving early 2000s, and I love it so much. It’s the perfect boho chic top to throw on when it’s hot out and it looks so cute with virtually any bottoms. It also dries really quickly, making it a great top to throw over a bathing suit.
Ribbed Knit Stripe Top
I’ve been working on my wardrobe classics and recently added this one to. the mix and I love it! It’s the perfect top to wear solo or with a blazer over it. I’ll be wearing this one all summer long!
