Spring/Summer Essential Tops
Spring & Summer Essential Tops
All of these pieces are classic styles that are meant to last for more than just one year or season! All of these tops are versatile and can be styled tons of different ways. Most of these include classic elements like simple stripes, subtle floral prints, classic silhouettes, and muted or soft tones.

STRIPED BLOUSE: So cute with skinny jeans, denim shorts, or under a pair of overalls!
(ps, these first two Jcrew blouses always go on sale! I got mine last year for around $40, so just keep that in mind before you purchase! I got a pink one last year and it was my favorite shirt to wear in the summer! It is lightweight, flattering, and goes with everything!)
WHITE BLOUSE: If you decide to get anything from my Spring/Summer style guide, make it one of these white tops. This is the perfect piece for warmer weather. You could wear this so many ways; to work with dress pants, tucked into a skirt for church, or with jeans/shorts and some sandals! (ps, this first blouse is $39 and I am obsessed with it!)
EYELET TOP: I love these simple but feminine tops for spring and summer! You can’t go wrong with white, but I am loving yellow lately as well!
FLORAL BLOUSE: This is the item I am most likely to splurge on for Spring/Summer. I am super picky when it comes to prints, especially florals. Floral prints can so easily look cheap or obnoxious, and I always gravitate toward the smaller prints that I see on designer or high end pieces. Here are some of my favorites:
LACE CAMI: Lightweight and so cute layered underneath a blazer/jean jacket or over the top of a graphic tee!
SOLID BLOUSE
GRAPHIC TEES: These are a little more trendy than the other tops listed, but I think they are so fun and can be worn tons of different ways! I love wearing graphic tees under a blazer with high-rise jeans; or with a denim jacket, black jeans, and a flat brim hat.
STRIPED TEE: This is a definite year-round staple, but I rounded up some of my current favorites. My favorite way to style striped tees for spring is with a pair of white denim and tan/neutral accessories. Also, how cute is this pink and orange striped top? I love it!
SOLID TEES: Easily the most worn items in my closet all spring and summer. Nothing ground breaking, but I do want to mention that last year I wore crew neck tees instead of scoop neck or v-neck and I was obsessed with the look of them! Here are some neutral ones that I love!
*If you are looking for really great quality tee, I highly recommend ATM (the last tee listed below). They make great basic tee's. They're not too sheer, the fit is great, and the fabric will last you through multiple seasons! When I worked at Nordstrom this was something that I would put in almost every dressing room!
