Now that the warm-weather season is upon us, summer tops are high up on the shopping wish lists of my friends and me as we rummage through our closets daily to find something cool and casual to pair with a daily rotation of shorts. As the professional shopper of my friend group, my group chat has been going off lately with all sorts of summer styling inquiries, and the one I've been hearing about the most is the search for cute summer tops. Since they're such a universal item that everyone needs in their closets this time of year, I figured I'd do the opposite of gatekeeping my findings and share all the picks I've been privately DMing to my friends.
To compile what I'm declaring to be the best edit of cool tops, I searched high and low for a handful of options that will give your summer wardrobe a hit of sartorial newness. After a lengthy search across the internet, I found these stylish options below that will add a chic touch to your shorts, jeans, and skirts this season. Included are basic tank tops, charming lace-trimmed styles, trending halter tops, and strapless silhouettes that will add a breath of fresh air to your summer ensembles. Voilà—every cute summer top you could ever want to see.

Built-in bra details always get me.
I'll just say it: This is the best $15 you'll spend all summer.
Not only does this texture look so expensive, but it's also wrinkle-proof and just asking to be packed in your suitcase.
Simply stunning.
