Basic tops for summer

 
 

I love a fun top, something with pattern, interesting structure, or a bit of JD energy.

But I also know how important it is to have those simple, hard-working pieces in your wardrobe too. The basic tops you can reach for again and again, that make getting dressed easier without feeling boring.

So today, I’ve scoured the internet for exactly that: colourful wardrobe basics for every season.

For this post, I’ve focused on colourful options for each season and steered clear of neutrals, but let me know if you want a neutrals version too.

Most of these tops come in a variety of colourways, so if you spot a shape you love but it’s shown in a different season, it’s worth clicking through to see what other colours are available.

You’ll notice Kettlewell is mentioned a few times, and that’s because it’s such a reliable resource for colourful tops.

It doesn’t tend to focus on what’s trending or in fashion right now, it’s more about offering simple shapes in colours that work for each season.

So if you’re looking for a basic top in a colour you haven’t been able to find on the high street, it’s a really good place to start.
