8 Fashionable Tops Everyone Is Wearing This Summer
Summer is almost here, which means it’s almost time to hit the shops and stock up a brand new summer wardrobe. But if you’re wondering what are the best styles to go for, here are the 8 most fashionable tops that everyone is wearing this summer. No matter your style, shape or size, there is something to suit you!
1. Peasant blouse
This wardrobe staple finds its way into the summer trends year after year, and it’s not difficult to see why. A modern spin on a traditional European dress, The so-called ‘peasant’ blouse comes in a variety of styles and colours, but its light material and loose sleeves make it super comfortable to wear in hot weather as well as being stylish! It also gives off a chilled bohemian vibe so it’s perfect for a festival. Look out for paisley patterned or embroidered peasant blouses to tick multiple trends off your list!
Bralette
The bralette has made waves the past few seasons, first as a stylish replacement for a bra without the underwire. These days everyone is wearing bralettes: try it under a sheer top to add a little edge to an outfit for a night out. Or if you’re feeling bold, wear it on its own as a crop top. Pair with shorts and some statement bracelets for a trendy festival look, or team a sexy lace bralette with high waisted jeans for a cooler evening look.

Tie dye
Woodstock is back! Tie dye t-shirts are another fashionable top seen everywhere this summer. Once a staple hippie look, tie dye has made its way to the runways of designers such as Stella McCartney and Chloe. The t-shirt is the best way to rock this look, and with virtually any colour available, you can really make your summer wardrobe pop. Wear with denim shorts for a relaxed shopping trip or a day at the beach – you don’t have to worry about the colour running!

Bandeaus
It seems the most fashionable tops this year have all derived from history – the bandeau was typically used for women’s swimwear in the 1940s, relying on its elasticity to prevent any malfunctions during swimming. These days, bandeaus have emerged as a stylish compliment to a summer outfit, and can be dressed down for the day (no straps means no shoulder tan lines!) or dressed up for the evening with a midi skirt or high waisted trousers which emphasises your waist.

Camisoles
Camisoles are versatile fashionable tops, as you can wear them in a casual jersey style with shorts or even as a workout top, but the dressy version is a growing trend this summer. Think soft silky fabrics with little lace details, worn best with jeans half tucked in. If you’re not crazy about showing so much of your arms, camisoles look just as good with a kimono or a cardigan if it’s chillier at night. Wear a classic colour cami like white and brighten up the outfit with a floral or paisley kimono for a gorgeous summer look.

One shoulder
A 2019 version of the modernised Bardot type that took the runways by storm a couple of seasons ago, the one shoulder top is just as cute. It’s like a bandeau with that one shoulder there just for extra reassurance if you’re worried about constantly having to pull it up. Go for a block colour to compliment a denim skirt or jeans, or if you want to be more out there, pick one with ruffles or flowers on the shoulder to really flatter the neckline.

Slogan and logo tees
Comfortable and cute, the slogan and logo tee is for tomboys and girly girls due to the sheer range of styles around this summer. This top really gives you the opportunity to inject some personality into your wardrobe, so pick something that represents what you enjoy or are passionate about, whether it’s a political statement or an adorable puppy! Plus they’re super comfy and are great for going to the beach, the mall, hanging with friends, or any casual get-together during the summer.

Hawaiian shirt
No, this one isn’t just for your dad – Hawaiian shirts are making a huge impact on the summer catwalks as a fashionable wardrobe staple. Renowned for their sometimes crazy patterns, these shirts sport anything from palm leaf print to florals, from vintage cars to tiny hula girls, reminiscent of the old ‘Aloha’ shirts of the 1960s! They’ve been given a modern revamp and look great on boys or girls, but be careful with coordinating as the shirt should be the main attraction. Pair with white city shorts or chinos so you’re not creating a mishmash of patterns.
