Every summer, like clockwork, I get the sudden urge to burn everything in my closet and start over. Do I follow through? No. But I do stock up on a ridiculous number of trendy tops. It’s honestly the easiest way to make my wardrobe feel new without doing a full identity shift.

Summer is my excuse to get a little weirder with my style—in a fun way. I try new shapes, wear colors I usually avoid, and convince myself that this will finally be the year I become a “satin blouse” girl. (It’s a process.) But mostly, I just lean hard into cute tops. Because if you have a good top, the rest of your outfit can be aggressively average and no one will notice.

Here’s what’s been in heavy rotation lately:

33+ Must-Have Trendy Tops for Summer 2025

1. Off-the-Shoulder Tops

There’s something effortlessly romantic about an off-the-shoulder moment. Whether you go for a flowy boho sleeve or a structured neckline, these tops are made for sunset dinners and rooftop drinks. Pair them with high-waisted shorts, statement earrings, and a straw bag for that ultimate vacation-ready look. A strapless top is the easiest way to infuse some trendy clothing into your summer wardrobe without overthinking it.

2. Crop Tops

A cute crop top never fails me. It’s kind of a best seller in my wardrobe at this point. I go for everything from puff sleeves to sleeveless styles, depending on the vibe and my body shape. They’re my go-to for casual occasions and look amazing with literally anything—especially when styled with long skirts or layered under two piece sets.

3. Tank Tops

The minimalist top that still slays—tank tops are an everyday summer essential. Go for a neutral ribbed tank for off-duty model vibes or spice things up with a colorful bandeau or bold pattern. Ideal for layering or wearing solo, they’re as versatile as it gets.

4. Graphic Tees

I can’t resist a good graphic tee, especially when I’m channeling those laid-back, off-duty vibes. Oversized or cropped, worn with biker shorts or a mini skirt—graphic tees are such an easy way to show a bit of personality. I love mixing in fun colors or quirky prints to keep things interesting.

5. Relaxed Fit & Long Tops

Think beachy button-downs, breezy tunics, and long tops that skim your silhouette. These pieces scream laid-back luxury, perfect for those “throw it on and go” days. Belt it for structure or leave it flowing for a relaxed vacation vibe.

6. Dressy Tops

I like to keep a curated selection of dressy tops in rotation, just in case I decide to do something fancy (or need to fake it on Zoom). Satin blouses, structured fits, or bold colors—anything with a little detail like ruching or asymmetry gets bonus points. Perfect for formal events or the kind of dates where you want to look expensive.

7. Statement & Unique Tops

Want to turn heads? Unique and statement tops—like dramatic sleeves, bold colors, or unexpected textures—add an editorial twist to your outfit. These are the pieces that get compliments and make you feel unstoppable. If you’re looking for the perfect top to stand out in a sea of basics, this is it.

8. Strapless Tops

Strapless tops are clean, sharp, and unapologetically confident. No straps, no distractions—just a strong silhouette that holds its own. I wear them with structured pants or something breezy for contrast. Add a slicked-back bun and earrings, and suddenly it’s a whole vibe.

9. Halter Tops

Halter tops have that early-2000s energy I secretly love. They frame the shoulders, feel slightly dramatic, and always bring edge. Great with high-rise anything and layered jewelry. Slightly throwback, totally intentional. One of my forever summer tops.

10. Bold Color Tops

Bold color tops aren’t here to blend in. Think saturated hues that do all the talking. I like to pair them with muted basics to keep the focus where it should be. They shift the whole tone of an outfit—loud, clear, and kind of addictive. Perfect when you want to take your everyday look up a notch.

Building a Summer Closet With Trendy Tops

So yeah, summer is kind of the peak season for women’s tops—whether you’re into short sleeves, long sleeve styles, or something strapless and wild. The right top really is one of those little things that can shift your whole vibe, especially when you find the one that works for your body type and makes getting dressed feel like less of a chore.

This season, I’m all about building a tops collection that covers different occasions—casual tops for errands, a scoop neck tank for layering, a few bold picks for nights out, and some breathable fabric basics that just work. It’s not about starting over; it’s about adding those perfect addition
