The top to any outfit is generally the heart and the most noticeable piece. Tops in the summertime can be loose and flowy or tight and fitted. They can be tucked in or left out, cropped or tunic-style, and also translucent, solid, thick or thin. Since they're are an unimaginable amount of cuts, patterns and materials, I'll only post up a couple tops that I think have some special element and would all look great. I normally seem to go for bright colors, pastels, and florals for summer but "nautical" is also a chic, classic summer trend. Any navy and white (or red), striped or boatneck tops are fresh, quintessential images of summer fashion.
This top looks like an eyelet, semi-cropped blouse, but it's actually made out of t-shirt material. It has the look of a more stylized top, while it is really a light weight tee with a cut out "lace/eyelet" pattern and a keyhole in the upper back. This would look cute with a pair of cut-offs (light or dark) and a bright swimsuit under, or a neutral tank top and jeans... It's really versatile and it also comes in white. For $20 at ASOS.COM, it's totally affordable, different and soft.
Although this top is pricey, $98 at Bloomingdales (click here), the Patterson J. Kincaid Floral Tunic is light, feminine, and elegant. With small, fabric covered, buttons going down half of the tunic and a long, thin ties, it's details are refined but they also give the top more character. The colors are a summery pastels mixed with slightly bolder accents. I especially like the abstract floral pattern because it's more one of a kind than the average floral. I think this would look really good loosely tucked into jeans or a tan skirt. It's made out of polyester, but it feels more like a thin silk, or a rough crepe.
This side-tailed tank top's muted colors are clean and easy to ware. I love the cut.. it's different and bohemian. The little flowers blend in so many colors that the top is basically wearable with any bottoms.. It would also work with a solid or lace bandeau or a bikini top under it. It's sold for $42 at ASOS.COM.
Not only is this Urban Renewal Top nautical and simple, but the open back with the knit cotton bows make the top more interesting and unique. The rich red color pairs well with denim or white. All though the back is exposed, this t-shirt could also work with pants, and boots in the winter so it's really a top you could wear all year. The crew neck gives it a preppy look while the bowed open back is a fun, young idea. I think a Panama hat would be a summery, vintagey addition to the top and a pair of high tops would give the girly top a rougher look. This soft, knit top only cost $29 at Urban Outfitters.
Obviously there are a million good tops out there so these are just some I specifically liked...
