1. Free People Lady Lux Layering Top

This lacy top from Free People has been a favorite of mine for years, and I just added classic black to my collection. I LOVE the way it layers so perfectly under and over different tops.

I wore the burgundy so much, I had to add black to my collection…and there are a TON of colors left to choose from. I sized up to a medium for some extra room layering and tucking and it fits perfectly without clinging.
I typically just layer mine over my go-to Hanro cami, but check out the link to Free People for a ton of other ideas on how to style it differently. I love it layered under a dress or graphic tee too!

2. Topshop Crinkle Sheer Tie Front Top

This top quickly became a favorite, and I didn’t see it coming! The sheer fabric, dramatic (but not too over-the-top) puffed sleeves, ruffle details, and multiple tie closures—perfectly romantic and versatile—can be worn open or tied up. It all comes together in such a dreamy, lovely way.

Naturally, I’ve layered it over my go-to Hanro top—the piece I turn to for all things sheer. I’m wearing the black one here, but I think the nude version would be just as stunning with this top.
3. Topshop Sequin Embellished Sheer Lace Button-Up Shirt

This sheer lace top is such a statement piece, especially with its glitzy sequin flowers. While it does have a matching skirt (a bit bold and scandalous if that’s your vibe—I’ve got a post coming up on how to style it beyond just pairing it with the top!), I personally love dressing it down with a classic pair of jeans for a flirty yet effortless look.

The spread collar, flared cuffs and lace details are so fun. (And it looks good tucked in or left out!)
4. Topshop Ruffle Tie Neck Top

I wasn’t sure about this one at first—I thought it might feel a little overwhelming—but once I tried it on, I actually loved it! The flowy, blousy silhouette definitely brings more volume than some of the others, so it pairs best with a wide-leg or flared bottom to balance things out. The ruffles, asymmetric hemline, and optional tie neckline add such a playful, romantic vibe.

The asymmetric sleeves are fun, but they might be a deal-breaker for a dinner date. I feel like I’d get them in my food constantly…but it’s great for a drink or girls’ night!
5. Topshop Tie Front Top

Can you tell how I feel about this one from my face? I mean, it has a similar vibe to some of the other tops, but…that color is super blah on me and, even, worse, the fabric felt horrible. You know when you hang dry a shirt without using any softener? Yeah, that’s what it felt like.

And the wrinkles! Dang. But maybe I got a lemon, because this one has 5-star ratings from two different reviewers…
