A great summer top can be the most hard-working piece in your wardrobe this time of year. There’s no sweater to layer on top, no coat to complete the look. It has to stand on its own, which means it has to feel special enough to do so.

That’s why a fresh rotation of heads in the season feels like such a priority. I think a lot about what’s worth adding to the mix, the kind I can wear with shorts, linen pants and or a breezy skirt. A scarf printA brace your shouldersa bit of embroidery, crochetOr raffia trim Can make a top feel like a complete outfit, which is exactly what a great summer top is supposed to do.
