When temperatures rise, the sleeveless shirt becomes a summer wardrobe essential. It combines comfort, lightness, and elegance.
Whether you're in the city, at the beach, or on a country getaway, this piece can be reinvented endlessly. To embrace the latest trends without losing your personality, discover 10 stylish ways to wear a sleeveless shirt this summer – and get inspired by the tastefully selected pieces on chicandshines.com , your chic and trendy fashion destination.
1. Tied at the front for a casual look
The sleeveless shirt tied at the front is a firm favorite for warmer weather. Choose one in lightweight cotton or linen for a natural look. Pair it with high-waisted shorts or a flowy skirt for an effortlessly chic style.
2. Worn as an overshirt
You don't have to button it up! Wear your sleeveless shirt as a light jacket, open over a tank top or crop top. This layering adds dimension to your silhouette and allows you to play with contrasts.
Fall for a flowing, colourful or printed overshirt available on chicandshines.com to elevate your basics.
3. Stretched out in high-waisted trousers
Tucking a sleeveless shirt into high-waisted pants is the perfect way to slim your silhouette and create a more structured look. Opt for palazzo pants, paperbag trousers, or wide-leg jeans for a very modern look.
4. With a long, flowing skirt
Nothing is more bohemian than a sleeveless shirt worn with a flowing maxi skirt. Opt for a white or beige shirt in a natural fabric, and a floral or pastel skirt to soften the look. It's the perfect combination for summer evenings.
5. Under a sleeveless blazer for a tailored touch
The sleeveless blazer is making a strong comeback this summer! For a chic city look, slip a plain sleeveless shirt under a tailored vest or a sleeveless blazer. Pair it with cigarette pants or a straight skirt.
6. In a cropped version for a youthful and fun look
The cropped version of the sleeveless shirt appeals to the most daring. Tied under the bust or cut like a bustier, it pairs perfectly with high-waisted jeans, a denim skirt, or flowing trousers.
7. Under a strappy dress for a unique layering look
Do you love delicate dresses but are looking for a way to modernize them? Wear your sleeveless shirt underneath! Choose a collared style for a subtle Peter Pan collar effect or a lace one for a romantic touch.
8. Pair with leather shorts for a summer rock style
To break up the prim look of a shirt, dare to wear leather. Pair it with faux leather or genuine leather shorts, add sunglasses and a mini bag, and you're good to go. Perfect for concerts, festivals, or nights out with friends.
9. Worn oversized as a summer dress
Some sleeveless shirts can be worn on their own as dresses, especially if they're a bit loose. This androgynous style is irresistible in summer. Cinch it at the waist with a thin belt and add flat sandals or espadrilles.
10. Pair with flowy printed trousers for a Riviera style
If you love Italian elegance, pair a white sleeveless shirt with flowing printed trousers: palm trees, polka dots, chains, or foliage. Add cat-eye sunglasses, a straw hat, and leather sandals for a complete dolce vita look.
