Summer is officially in full swing and TikTok is obsessed with finding the perfect fashion staples for the season. Thanks to the social media app that has become the It girl’s go-to fashion resource, baby tees, graphic prints and tube tops have made their comeback.
Of course, content creators aren’t the only ones who have taken to rocking these trends. Celebrities like Blackpink’s Lisa have also been spotted sporting these new styles whether they’re on duty at work or off the clock on vacation. Here's a nifty shopping list of celebrity-approved summer tops for you to stock up on this season.

This little garment is finally getting the love it deserves after being forsaken for years. First popularised in the ‘90s, tube tops are beloved because they warrant the perfect excuse to go braless. Versatility is also another factor, and these tops match well with skirts, shorts or in Emily Ratajkowski’s case, technicolour pants.
A black tube top (or better yet, a bustier version) can be worn on every occasion, be it Sunday brunch with the gals or a candle-lit dinner with your beau. Simply change up the shoes and accessories or throw on a chic blazer to go from day to night.
