14 Tie-Front Tops to Wear With Everything From Cutoffs to Maxi Skirts

July 1, 2020

There are certain summer staples we all look forward to wearing. Crop tops, minidresses and strappy sandals, to name just a handful. But there’s one seasonal gem that we’re planning on sporting literally everywhere — tie-front tops. Some tie-front tops are pretty cropped, others wrap up at your natural waist. The ties can be understated or much more dramatic. And while the button-down versions are our personal favorites, there are also tank options worth your consideration. Several tops are even work-appropriate (whether you’re jumping on Zoom calls at home or working in an office building). On the styling front, these summery tops work well with others. Try using them to top off cutoffs, slightly cropped trousers, distressed denim, Bermuda shorts and midi or maxi skirts. They also double as swimsuit cover-ups by the pool or down at the beach. See the slideshow above for the coolest tie-front tops of the season.
