Apologies, tank tops—this summer I'll only be wearing lovely blouses paired with my shorts, skirts, and linen trousers.

      Summer 2025 is poised to be the season of the lovely blouse, believe me. While cute tops have seen popularity in the warmer months before, the recent shift towards minimalism and understated luxury has favored simple tank tops over other options. However, the trend appears to be changing once more. As the tank top's biggest advocate, I'm actually ready to replace them with some airy blouses for the upcoming months. I've been exploring the new arrivals to discover the prettiest styles, so I wanted to share the best summer blouses I've recently found.

      Debora pairs a perfect white summer blouse with denim. When writing this article and shopping for blouses, I began pondering what truly defines a blouse. Generally, it's a floaty and loose-fitting garment, often made from light linen, silk, or cotton for summer wear. Personally, I typically envision them without collars (though that may stray into shirt territory?), but technically, it can go either way. The same applies to sleeves; they can be strappy or voluminous—I'm not particular. While summer blouses can certainly be simple and understated, this season particularly emphasizes charming details like lace edging, eyelets, and broderie anglaise, especially in styles favored by fashion enthusiasts lately. Although there are numerous prints and colors available for summer 2025, creamy hues and fresh whites are most favored by the style-conscious.

      I adore this skirt and blouse combination from Monikh. Free People's Forevermore top exemplifies a lovely summer blouse (and at least three influencers have worn it this week). Rixo and Nobody's Child also offer excellent options with sleeves. However, one cannot discuss delightful summer blouses without mentioning DÔEN. It is the brand that fashion insiders are currently investing in (if they haven't already filled their summer wardrobes with it), and their blouse collection is outstanding, featuring many timeless, ageless, and beautiful organic cotton pieces that will enhance your warm-weather wardrobe for this season and years ahead.

      Chloe styles the stunning Free People Forevermore top. If, like me, you've been loyal to basic H&M tank tops for the past few years, you might be curious about how to style a beautiful top for 2025 without it appearing too frumpy or overly cute. I certainly was. But while researching for this piece, I discovered plenty of fabulous styling inspiration (keep scrolling, and you'll find I've saved many ideas for you at the end of this article). It turns out that the best summer blouses pair well with everything that a plain t-shirt or tank top does. Jeans? Of course. Denim shorts, boxer shorts, linen shorts, bermuda shorts? Yes, yes, yes, and yes. Mini skirts and full midi skirts also complement them nicely (I trust Monikh's judgment). Essentially, they coordinate with everything in your summer wardrobe. My one styling tip? Whatever you team a blouse with, opt for simple flip-flops as footwear to keep the look fresh and modern. And there you have it! The ideal summer 2025 outfit.
