My Five Favorite White Tops & How I’m Currently Styling Them

We all know having the perfect white top in your closet is a staple, BUT have you ever thought about why we choose the style of tops we do? Why do you grab your skinny jeans to pair with a white blouse? Why does a boyfriend denim just feel right to match with a boyfriend fit white t-shirt? WELL if you haven’t been thinking about it, I have (LOL) and I hope this post helps you take your different white tops to the next level. I’ve found my style evolving a lot over the years, and I think it’s natural that with getting older and you personally changing, you clothing changes as well. Currently I’m gravitating more towards comfort, but staying stylish and true to myself. Here are 5 white tops and the ways I’ve been styling them lately!

1. State White Tank Top

Paired with: Denim Pants & Slide Studded Sandal

I love this combination for a lunch date! These linen pants are amazing for during the day in the summer because they are amazing quality, but super light and airy. I would only wear these pants with a bodysuit because the pants are so highwaisted, I wont have to worry about keeping my shirt tucked in.

Paired with: Denim Shorts & White Slide Sandals

I love the detailing of this top! The little sheer piece of fabric and even when I pair this top with denim shorts and sandals, I still feel like it looks like I dressed up.

Paired with: Black Denim & Black Slide Sandals

Perfect outfit for date night! This top go’s day to night so easily and if you add a fun red clutch for a pop of color – it’s the perfect date night outfit in the summer!

Abercrombie & Fitch White Bodysuit

Paired with: Highwaisted Linen Pants & Slide Heeled Sandal

I love this combination for a lunch date! These linen pants are amazing for during the day in the summer because they are amazing quality, but super light and airy. I would only wear these pants with a bodysuit because the pants are so highwaisted, I wont have to worry about keeping my shirt tucked in.

Paired with: Stripe Skirt & Slide Heeled Sandal

This is also an outfit I would wear for a fun day date or happy hour with friends! I love that at the end of the day this is a basic t-shirt bodysuit, but I can dress it up easily by adding a heeled sandal and skirt.

Paired with: Linen Shorts & White Slide Sandals

This is what I’m living in lately and an ongoing trend you’ll notice throughout this post. As much as I love dressing up, lately there isn’t much of a reason to go the extra mile because I’ve been spending a lot of time at home. These linen shorts are SO comfy and the white sandals are one of the four pairs I wear on repeat.

Reformation Square Neck Tank Top

Paired with: Denim Shorts & White Slide Sandals

You can’t go wrong with a casual white tank top with denim shorts outfit in the summer. The square cut neck line makes me feel like it’s not a “normal” throw on outfit, even though it’s a completely effortless look.

Paired with: Midi Skirt & Slide Heeled Sandals 

Easy to take this look from day to night by pairing it with a fun midi skirt and heeled sandal. This is a way I would style this square neck top for dinner with friends in the summer – keep it casual, but dress it up!

Paired with: Black Denim Mini Skirt, Brown Belt, & White Slide Sandals

When was the last time you wore a denim mini?! It’s been awhile for me personally, but I love this look! So comfortable and so cute!

Madewell White Button Down

Paired with: Denim Shorts & Studded Slide Sandal 

I’ve always loved the way a collar looks on a shirt. I love it even more when I pair it with more casual pieces to dress it down! Jean shorts will match with almost anything, and although I truly believe these would look just as good with a crew neck, tank top, or bodysuit, tying this button down for a fun and flirty look!

Paired with: Cropped Pants & Slide Heeled Sandal

I love the way these flared cargo pants look with the tied button down shirt! I added a heeled sandal to dress it up a little more, but I like that it still feels effortless.

Paired with: Mini Skirt & White Slide Sandal

Sometimes I can’t do pants.. and I can’t be bothered with shorts. Skirts are such an easy way to make it look like you tired while not feeling suffocated! This is great to pair for causal, but also I have totally wore this out – want to dress it up even further? Add a heeled sandal for flirty look!

Abercrombie & Fitch White V-Neck T-Shirt

I love getting dressed up, but I will always stand by “the comfier, the better.” Normally I would say that pairing an oversized t-shirt with with more form fitting bottoms is the way to go, but I really love the full oversized look of boyfriend fit denim and with the boyfriend fit jean for an all over casual and effortless look.

V-necks are so classic and everyone has one in their closet. I’ve been pairing my favorite v-neck with denim shorts and my favorite white sandals to keep it casual and comfortable.

Paired with: Boyfriend Jeans & White Slide Sandals

This is another outfit I’m living in lately. You can never go wrong with basic white t-shirt and your favorite pair of boyfriend jeans! This is a perfect outfit for hanging out around the house, getting errands done, but feeling like you still put a real outfit on.

Paired with: Leather Skirt & Black Heeled Sandals

I know, I know – a leather skirt in summer? But, I kind of love this look! This is a perfect way to take a basic in your closet and give it some life and pairing this v-neck and leather skirt with these heeled sandal still make it a summer look!
