5 easy-breezy tops everyone will be wearing with jeans this summer

In the summer, you simply can’t beat a nice top and jeans (or a nice top and jorts), as uncomplicated outfit formulas are something of a necessity when temperatures start to rise. However, there are subtle tweaks you can make to your usual jeans and a tee uniform to bring the look forward and give it a summery update. If the boho movement is aligned with your own personal style, a white lace or embroidered milkmaid top will be a wise addition to your warm-weather rotation. Meanwhile, tank tops and ruched jersey tees will be useful building blocks to many summer outfits.

Below, see five summer tops that everyone will be wearing with jeans, jorts and skirts in the coming months.

Tank tops

Tank tops are the ultimate foundation piece for any summer wardrobe, and will go with everything from jeans and jorts to tailored trouser suits. When it comes to fit, a minimalist ’90s tank top style is proving popular, while European Vogue shopping director, Naomi Smart, advises that the perfect fit lies in the coverage: “The tank straps have to be wide enough, and the back of the vest has to be high on the neck so that it elegantly covers my bra straps.”

Crochet tops

Nothing is more summery than crochet and so an open-weave top will be a wise addition to any island-bound suitcase. It will be a reliable beach companion worn as a cover-up over a bikini, while still looking elegant after dark, paired with tailored trousers or a slinky maxi skirt.

Elegant summer tops

For the most special evenings, there is no shortage of elegant summer tops, where silhouettes play with asymmetries, necklines that leave the shoulders uncovered and light fabrics such as organza or and lace - beyond the classic jersey. Colors are soft - from pink to ivory - but there is no shortage of textures and workmanship and trendy, as with black & white polka dots and draping. And if you're looking for a sparkly top, go for a model covered in glitter and sequins.

Tops with laces

Ties are one of the soft coquette trends of summer 2025, proving to be the perfect top for the most chic and contemporary daytime looks: for evening outfits, just pair it with a long skirt - floaty or petticoat - and you're done.

Linen tops

In 2025, linen reinvents itself, leaving behind any boho heritage to embrace a cleaner, more minimalist aesthetic: structured volumes, exposed seams, and functional details such as pockets and exposed buttons. From optical white to classic black, passing through the trendy shades of the warm season-from pink to butter yellow via brown-they are worn with linen pants or jeans, but also with skirts of all kinds.
