Summer weather calls for lightweight and comfortable clothing, but that doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice style. One of the most popular fashion trends in summer fashion is usually the cropped top — but this year, it seems like the trend is beginning to move towards a more refined style — full of long blouses and clean lines. Of course, this shift in fashion shouldn’t come as a surprise, thanks to Gen Z’s love for reviving old trends. In summer 2023, it’s low-rise jeans over high-rise, jorts over regular shorts, and now, longer tops over cropped tops.
Don’t get me wrong, if you love rocking a crop top in summer, definitely don’t stray away from the look. But if you’re searching for something new to try this year (or if you just straight-up don’t like the idea of wearing a smaller shirt), consider a lengthier top! From flowy blouses to structured button-ups, there are plenty of options to choose from. With these 15 summer tops, say goodbye to the cropped top trend and hello to these stylish alternatives!
