It’s official: I’m fully stocked up on white T-shirts. This morning, as I rifled through my wardrobe searching for an outfit to take me from the office, then straight on to drinks, I found myself swimming in a sea of white tees. Don’t get me wrong—I adore them (I'm wearing one right now layered under an emerald green knitted vest). But they’ve become my default and, frankly, I’m craving something with a little more spark.
Admittedly not the adventurous type, I've turned my attention to a pretty top trend that can inject some variety into my summer rotation without veering too far away from my tried-and-true formulas. It wasn't long until my search introduced me to the white strapless top trend.
Perfect for summer dressing, a white strapless top exposes the shoulders and décolletage, striking that elusive balance between simple and considered. There’s something about the bare-shoulder moment that adds a whisper of sophistication in a way that other tops just simply can't.
While you might associate a white strapless top with alfresco dinners and balmy holiday evenings, don’t be too quick to relegate it to your occasionwear pile. Styled with wide-leg jeans and tailored trousers, it brings a modern edge to daytime looks and makes even the most thrown-together outfit feel intentional. Then, after dark, I'm picturing them with slinky slip skirts.
So, if—like me—you’ve reached peak white tee fatigue, consider this your sign to embrace an upgrade. Light, versatile and chic, the white strapless top is the polished staple your summer wardrobe has been waiting for.
Scroll on to shop the best white strapless tops to wear all season long.
