Crochet Tank Tops, a Satin Halter Blouse, Linen-Blend Button-Downs and More Stylish Tops for the Season

Chvity Crochet Shirt →

According to the brand, you can expect impeccable softness and breathability while wearing this summer blouse. With crochet detailing and pops of color on each sleeve, it's versatile enough to dress up or down — however, we'd recommend a chic sunhat, denim shorts and wedge sandals. Reviewers like the way its material drapes as well as its figure-flattering silhouette.

Dokotoo Puff Sleeve Top →

With a winning combination of puff sleeves and stripes, this knit blouse offers a flattering look for everyone. It features a round neckline, wrinkle-resistant fabric (per the brand) and a loose overall fit, without looking too oversized. "This is one of the softest shirts I own," shares commerce writer Danielle Murphy. "And although it's technically a knit top, it's still lightweight enough to wear on warm summer days."

Casual Ruffle Tunic →

This is the kind of flowing, loose-fitted tank top you'll want to reach for on a sweltering summer afternoon. It comes in a good variety of sizes (S-3XL) and a handful of vibrant prints — though we prefer this almost Greek-inspired, breezy blue-and-white combination. Plus, you can't really beat the under-$15 price point.

Gap Factory Boatneck Tank Top →

Shop TODAY fashion and lifestyle contributor Melissa Garcia says that a boatneck silhouette is a great addition to a summer wardrobe for its "quiet luxury" vibes. With over 20 different patterns and colors to choose from, there's a chance you'll end up with more than one in your cart. (We wouldn't blame you — there's no way we're passing up on the checkered designs!)

White House Black Market Bow Back Satin Halter Blouse →

Need something a little elevated but won't cause you to overheat? Equal parts feminine and bold, this satin top is one of our top choices for its sleek halter design, sleeveless fit and effortless drape. Pair with a skirt and heels for a classier look or with jeans and sandals for something a bit more casual.

Old Navy Linen-Blend Button-Down Shirt →

According to Old Navy, nearly 3,000 shoppers have checked out this flattering linen-blend top today alone! Could it be because of its laid-back, loose design, trendy high-low hem and 10 chic colors to choose from? Or is it the 30% discount? There's only one way to find out.

Lands’ End Jersey Tie Front Top →

The brand calls this top your "basic tee with a twist" — literally. The knot detail at the waist lends to this piece's "elevated basic" aesthetic, while its cotton/modal blend (otherwise known as "miracle fabric" by Lands' End) offers a breathable and super-soft feel. We're also loving the elbow sleeves, especially for anyone who prefers a little more coverage.

Banana Republic Factory Poplin Tie-Front Top →

For many, summer isn't the season of subtlety when it comes to fashion choices. If you love loud designs, this top checks all the boxes. Stripes? Yes. Color? Double it. Details? How about a front-and-center bow tie? Perfect for the style maximalist at heart — and it's half off for a limited time!

Madewell The Blaire Top →

On the other hand, for some, summer is no reason to give up their love for all-black pieces. We support that kind of commitment, especially with a blouse as charming as this one. It features dainty embroidery, eyelet sleeves and the perfect amount of ruffles — and don't worry, it also comes in a few lighter hues as well.

Mango Crocheted Lurex Top →

In our eyes, the "going out top" trend will never die, not while eye-catching pieces like this still exist. The lavender tank with top-to-bottom crochet detailing and a scalloped ruffle hem is sure to become your next night-out staple.
