We don’t need more reasons to rock a strappy number, but let’s just blame it on the summer vibe, shall we? Here’s our edit for the must-have strappy tops and camis of the season that’ll have you sizzling all summer long.
Monochrome Polka Dots
Monochrome Polka Dots are one of the easiest trends to work into our everyday wardrobes. A simple top featuring the print can elevate an outfit and make it ooze parisian chic.

90’s Nostalgia
Seen on style mavens such as Kendall Jenner, the 90’s square-cut top has made it’s return and we’re totally here for it. Accessorise with some faux diamond bling for the perfect modern-glam evening look.
Florals
Yes, florals for the summer, how groundbreaking, we know. Say what you will, but florals came back this season with a point to prove. Instead of going for the usual soft pastels, we prefer the more sultry vibe florals give in this darker hued top.

Sequins
Sequins in all shapes and sizes were seen strutting down the Spring/Summer runways, and we’re stoked to work a little more glitz into our wardrobes. We opted for this mermaid-esque sequin bandeau that’s a fun day-to-night piece that’s perfect for the summer heat.
Stripes
Stripes have become something of a wardrobe staple these past few seasons, and shows no signs of going anywhere. We love how this top turns a traditionally formal print into an effortlessly chic piece we could wear while we bum on the beach, or under a blazer to the office.

Ruffles
Ruffles are back in a big way this season, from bags to dresses and even swimsuits. We chose this rich-hued top with micro polka-dots as our quintessential summer piece that’s a step away from sweet, and a lot more sexy.
Animal Prints
Instantly add an element of luxe to your look with an animal print cami – or animal print anything for that matter. Pair with some dark wash jeans and a pair of boots for an edgy rocker-chic look.
Art Inspired Prints
While the art inspired runway looks we saw this season were a little more abstract, and slightly less everyday, that doesn’t mean we can’t work the trend into our closets. We went with a brushstroke print top that features bold colours, another seasonal trend, and a Herve-Leger-style bandage fit for a sexy finish.

Mixed Print
Mixing prints can be really tricky, so picking a piece that’s already mixed the prints for you is an easy way to nail this summer trend. To keep this busy trend cohesive, we picked a top that kept a consistent colour palette throughout its different prints.
Rainbow Print
The stripes’ crazier counterpart, rainbow stripe prints have been seen on major runways this season. For a 70’s retro look, pair with some blue bell-bottoms and accessorize with a simple set of hoops.
