Do you ever go with your friend to help them shop with no intention of purchasing anything yourself, and then you, the person who wasn't even thinking about shopping in the first place, end up being the only one to buy something? It's whenever I don't expect to shop that I end up with my arms full of shopping bags.
I didn't plan on updating my closet this spring. I should've known right then that I was in trouble because I keep stumbling upon the most irresistible styles this season. Clearly, this is a cycle for me. But I'm switching the narrative from, "I have no self-control when it comes to cute clothes" to "the universe doesn't want me to miss out on all the fabulous tops for spring."
From bright hues that pop against the season's go-to light-wash denim to crisp button-downs for a polished yet casual look, these chic new styles are the wardrobe refresh I didn't know I needed. But trust—I do (and you do, too). This spring, plan on seeing corset, asymmetrical, and wrap tops everywhere, along with cool T-shirts and cropped knits. Below, shop the stylish new tops I can't get enough of for spring.
Go for Sasha Mei's casual spring look with this cotton shirt. The alternating colors and sizes of the stripes are a fun twist on the classic striped button-down.
A stretchy, no-fuss bodysuit; a form-enhancing corset; and a dramatic swooping neckline all in one polished, elegant top.
This color is brilliant.
The deep U-ring cutout on this bodysuit is flirty for a night out. Accessorize with a simple gold necklace and a statement bag.
Talk about a "wear it every day" top.
Another classic striped button-down (I told you they're big this season) but in the color of the moment: green.
Delicate buttons line the wrist of this satin blouse for a beautiful detail.
An elegant knit that wears like a tee.
Drooling over this delicate silk-and-lace number.
I love the lace-up sides on this boned-bodice corset.
A wrap blouse with a self-tie detail so you can modify it to cinch your waist perfectly.
I love the bright color and cheerful message on this graphic tee from the fashion set's go-to brand.
This top is bursting with spring energy.
Flirt and flounce your way through spring with this romantic blouse.
Refresh your basic tank with chic asymmetric slim straps.
Turn heads in this simple knit from the front with a surprise cutout detail in the back.
Go bold with a yellow strapless cropped snake-effect vegan-leather top. Can you fall in love with a shirt? Asking for a friend.
The only sweater you need for spring is a colorful knit one.
Both a layering piece and a stand-alone top.
Standard button-down from the front, exposed tie in the back.
This bright turquoise is everything.
The chain clasps and bold orange tone on this metal halter are a Y2K dream.
If you're going to wear a corset, you might as well add a garter hemline. Wear it with a black miniskirt and strappy heels, or pair it with loose low-rise jeans and sneakers. Either way, it's a statement you want to make this spring.
Another wrap shirt, but in this season's must-have lime green.
If spring were a top, it'd be this twist-neck, vibrant crop.
My motto for spring.
This Brooklyn-based designer reinvents a classic white tank with a dramatic asymmetrical hem.
I didn't think I was a sweater-vest person until I saw this boxy light-pink and white version. Style it with a long-sleeve button-down as pictured or by itself with blue jeans.
You'll instantly feel and look cooler in any Aya Muse piece. This one-shoulder lightweight knit has a contemporary twist with a spaghetti strap and silver ring accent.
It's the bubblegum hue and airy eyelet for me.
