Trends are always changing, and it can be hard to keep up. That’s why we’ve put together this brief guide on what is set to trend in the women’s tops arena this year. From tops with delicate details, to asymmetrical shapes, 2025’s standout styles mix together creativity, comfort, and versatility.
If you’re seeking a wardrobe refresh, or want to try out some new looks, the 2025 top trends have something to offer every fashion lover—from ethereal sheer layers, to romantic puff sleeves, eco-friendly linen staples, and striped casual tops, there’s something for every taste. Here’s a rundown of the trending women’s tops for this year.
Asymmetrical Tops
Asymmetrical tops are said to trend in 2025, which is great news, as there are plenty of good options out there, whether they be waist-length or tunic-length tops. Asymmetrical tops take traditional designs and give them a modern twist. They can be very flattering, as you can choose the type of asymmetrical top that accentuates the parts of your figure you want to highlight the most, whether it’s a hi-low top, double-layer top, or a top with side hems longer than the front and back hems. One benefit of asymmetrical tops is that they draw the eye to their asymmetrical design, making for a look that is immediately interesting, if not, edgy.
Sheer and Lace Tops
Sheer and lace fabrics are in, so look out for tops with these elements. It may be that there are sheer or lace sleeves on your top, lace around the neckline, sheer or lace panels, or a sheer fabric overlay on the top. Whatever the case, sheer and lace fabrics create a delicate and elegant effect, plus they show off a bit of skin, without actually showing it.
Look out for sheer cardigans and sheer shirts and blouses, which you can easily layer over other pieces. Or tops with lace hems, sleeves or overlays.
Puff Sleeved Tops
At various points in history, puff sleeves have been popular, and that trend is set to return in 2025. Puff sleeves add a bit of romance and drama to an outfit, so if you want to elevate your ensemble, and bring it from the everyday to something a bit extra, consider tops with puff sleeves. (Balloon sleeves over a similar puffy look, and are also on trending this year.)
Remember, the puffs don’t have to be enormous! You can find many tops with a very subtle puff that look feminine and sophisticated at once, and will make your outfit stand out.
Bohemian Vibe Tops
The bohemian look is in, in a subtle way. This means that tops with a boho edge will be trending. Think tops that have embroidered elements, abstract print tops with decorative patterns like paisley and florals, tassel tie necklines, and balloon sleeves. Basically, any top that looks a little bit hippy and ‘70s.
In spring and summer, these tops can be easily paired with jeans, or you can go full boho with boho harem pants or a boho skirt.
In autumn and winter, pair with jeans and add outer layers that keep to the ‘70s vibe, like a faux suede jacket or coat.
Striped Tops
Stripes never really go away, but they are certainly trending in 2025. They may be vertical, horizontal, diagonal, or a mix of all three. In particular, vertical stripes and pinstrips are showing up on catwalks, so look out for t-shirts, shirts and blouses that make the most of stripes.
Linen Tops
Linen tops have been trending for a few years now, and it doesn’t look like that will change anytime soon. It’s a comfortable, breathable fabric that is moisture wicking, so it’s particularly great to wear during spring and summer.
Linen is also considered a premium fabric, which is why you see stylish women around the world opting for linen in the warmer months. Linen tops can easily be worn with jeans, skirts or with shorts.
Cosy Sweaters
Lightweight sweaters are really popular at the moment, and come in a range of trend-setting designs.
Consider sweaters as an outer layer in spring and summer, (you can keep them in your handbag for when the weather cools), or wear as a base layer in autumn and winter. Many knit sweaters are made of fabrics that feel comfortable against the skin, so you don’t necessarily need a base layer, but if you want one, a camisole, lightweight t-shirt, or turtle neck will work well beneath it.
In terms of knit, cable knits are particularly popular. Whether it’s a full cable knit sweater, or it just has cable knit sleeves or panels, these sweaters offer a rustic, visual texture, not to mention, they’re extra warm.
Knit Vests
If you love wearing a tank top in summer, then a knit vest is a step up. Whether you wear it on a warm summer evening, or you reserve it for autumn and winter dressing, knit vests are hot property at the moment.
Knit vests have practical benefits, in that they are usually a little warmer than a straight tank top, but they also look more polished. You could easily wear them as part of your work ensemble, and at the same time, with a skirt or a pair of casual pants or jeans on the weekend.
Look out for button-up knit vests, that offer a mildly corporate/preppy vibe to a casual outfit.
Don’t forget that knit vests can be worn with no underlayer at all, or else, you can wear them over a shirt or blouse. Either way, they look great, and should be a part of every girl’s wardrobe in 2025!
