The artful top, in all its fluid, sculptural, and twisted splendor, is a spring/summer 2025 trend that’s been noticeably asserting its dominance. In 2021, Toteme gifted us with the scarf coat—a piece so omnipresent at the brand that it needed no further introductions. Since then, the silhouette, has surpassed outerwear and brought its draped sensibilities to tops of all kinds. Think of blouses, T-shirts, and other everyday shirting designed with a freshly poetic perspective. Whether you want your scarf-like long-sleeve to wrap snugly around your neck, or for your blouse to add another frothy layer, there’s an option for you that embraces the runway’s code of eloquence.

But don’t get it wrong—although these draped and twisted tops are delicately crafted, many of them marry form with function. Transitional weather requires transitional clothing! We’ve all turned up a side street to be met with a wind tunnel, or left a lightweight spring jacket at home only to be surprised by an abrupt afternoon dip in temperatures. Iconic brands, from high-end to high street, are exploring the trend and there are so many to choose from. There are scarf-wrap styles, like House of Dagmar s burnt orange option, or Heirlome’s with its crepe-y high neckline and shoulder tie. If you’re not ready to go bare-necked, Mango has a languid polka-dotted tank top, and Loulou de Saison has a loose-fitting, draped blouse shape. There are more fanciful draped and scarf-style tops from Khaite and Chloé, juxtaposed against pared-back pieces from Co and Prada.

Luckily, those are just some of the options available to play with. Find your perfect artful top, whether soft wool, organza, or silk, with the 24 styles ahead.
