Now that the warm-weather season is upon us, summer tops are high up on the shopping wish lists of my friends and me as we rummage through our closets daily to find something cool and casual to pair with a daily rotation of shorts. As the professional shopper of my friend group, my group chat has been going off lately with all sorts of summer styling inquiries, and the one I've been hearing about the most is the search for cute summer tops. Since they're such a universal item that everyone needs in their closets this time of year, I figured I'd do the opposite of gatekeeping my findings and share all the picks I've been privately DMing to my friends.
To compile what I'm declaring to be the best edit of cool tops, I searched high and low for a handful of options that will give your summer wardrobe a hit of sartorial newness. After a lengthy search across the internet, I found these stylish options below that will add a chic touch to your shorts, jeans, and skirts this season. Included are basic tank tops, charming lace-trimmed styles, trending halter tops, and strapless silhouettes that will add a breath of fresh air to your summer ensembles. Voilà—every cute summer top you could ever want to see.
Because I know you were curious about the top in the photo above.
Built-in bra details always get me.
I'll just say it: This is the best $15 you'll spend all summer.
Not only does this texture look so expensive, but it's also wrinkle-proof and just asking to be packed in your suitcase.
Simply stunning.
If you don't pick up the matching skirt, I'll be personally offended.
Refined and on-trend without even trying.
Chic with trousers for the office or denim shorts on the weekend.
Love this contrast-trim version of Kendall Jenner's favorite tank.
Just the refresh your going-out wardrobe was craving.
Because halter necklines *are* the moment.
Okay, Mango—you really popped off with this one.
Yep, I just placed an order for it.
This layered look is so forward.
This top's fans include Dua Lipa and Emily Ratajkowski. You're next.
Styling it like the model above would be a good idea.
I can already hear the compliments that this top with garner.
For all your "brat" green needs.

Hello, vacation wardrobe.
The back is even prettier, if you can imagine that.

Obsessed with the low back here.
