Back To Basics: How To Style Your Favorite White Tops
These are the looks we’re loving right now
Written by Jessica Fields
Style is subjective. It’s a form of self-expression, and like any other art form it needs a blank canvas. Enter the white top. A stark white top, whether it be a tee, tank, button down or blouse is the perfect backdrop for pretty much any outfit. When spring comes I start the hunt for my perfect white top and by mid-summer I’ve collected several variations, all different in their own way.
Though they all share the common goal of making me look effortless and stylish, the route to which they do so differs greatly. But for each diverse outfit the premise is the same – begin with, and build around the white top. For the warmer months of summer an airy and breathable fabric is ideal for comfort and a look of effortlessness. Cotton tanks, strappy or sporty, are a perfect pairing for light toned denim, and a floaty sleeveless option adds a hint of sexiness to any look.
Historically, white shirts have ruled runways and wardrobes year after year, and season after season. The style reached viral success in the early 2000’s, serving as the canvas for statement necklaces on blogs everywhere and just last summer, eyelet patterns and puffy sleeve versions took over Instagram feeds and social shops. But unlike styles that come, go and come again - the white top is not a trend. It is the beginning of creative expression through fashion. Keep scrolling to see the styled looks we’re loving.
