The start of summer calls for a clean slate, and there really is nothing more palate-cleansing than a crisp white top. The easy piece is a hot-weather savior, a must-have wardrobe staple, and can be worn with pretty much everything and anything, whether you’re in the mood for dressing up or down. These white tops, tanks, and blouses are perfect for anyone looking for something a little more elevated than the (also essential) white t-shirt this summer.

There are fashion-forward styles like With Jean’s figure-hugging corseted top to Christopher Esber’s tempting, tied-up twist on the menswear button up. If you’re looking for white summer tops with a little extra polish, you’re also in luck. Ganni’s puffed-sleeve blouse comes with a wrap front and flirty bow tied back while Adam Lippes’s button-front shirt is equal parts quirky and chic. Minimalists, on the other hand, should simply throw on Grayson’s hero button-down top with jeans, shorts, or even a swimsuit.

Here, find 15 bright white tops that make summer dressing a breeze. The perfect white summer top does, indeed, exist.
