The Chic Under-$100 Spring Tops Fashion People Will Be Wearing This Spring

As someone who lives in jeans, my tops and blouses play an important role in bringing personality and a fashion-forward touch to my entire look, which is why I always love staying on top of the latest trends and styles. Whether you're a minimalist who leans into elegance, or you embrace a bohemian spirit, this spring, there are plenty of chic and alluring tops and blouses that will make you look on-trend this upcoming season—whether you wear them with jeans, skirts, or pants.
After analyzing the spring 2025 runways, as well as what's dominating on the street style set and our feeds, I've compiled a list of the most noteworthy tops and blouses of spring 2025. From preppy striped polos to romantic sheer blouses, expect to see these chic styles dominating the fashion scene this upcoming season. The best part? I've included plenty of shopping picks for you that are under $100. Keep scrolling to get inspired.
Pastel Palette
Pastels for spring may not be groundbreaking, but this season's palette feels fresh and exciting. Think icy blue, muted powder pink, soft mint green, and buttercream yellow. After months of dressing in dark shades, it's safe to say we're 100% here for it.
Coastal Cool
If the runways are anything to go by, it's all about coastal cool vibes this spring. Designers such as Miu Miu, Proenza Schouler, and Sacai mixed nautical style with East Coast prep offering looks that embody breezy, effortlessly cool style. Lean into Breton stripe sweaters, crisp button-downs, gold buttons, and navy and white cardigans to tap into the trend.
Elegant Silhouettes
If "ladies who lunch" is your vibe, then you're going to love the elegant tops and blouses for spring 2025. Opt for styles with sophisticated necklines and elegant silhouettes—think boat necks, bow-tie blouses, Peter Pan collars, and collarless styles. Very demure, darling.
Tank Tops
The humble tank top has been a fixture on the runways for some time—and this spring/summer is no exception. There are a whole host of styles to look forward to, but hands down the classic scoop neckline was a resounding winner on the runways. Time to stock up before the warm weather hits.
Soft and Sheer
Romantic, soft, sheer, and flowing chiffon and tulle fabrics dominated the runways in ethereal shades. Give your wardrobe a soft filter this spring with a top that looks and feels equally sensual and sophisticated.
Elevated Athleisure
Spring 2025 is infused with a sporty sensibility—think elevated athleisure staples from half-zip tops and balletcore sports bras to track tops and chic hoodies. The best part? These pieces are easy to incorporate into your everyday looks. The key is in the styling. Think about color, texture, volume, and layering pieces into your look that will make them look fashion-forward and luxe.
Bohemian
Designers such as Chloé and Zimmermann have us falling back in love with boho blouses this season. Give your spring/summer outfits a '70s-inspired touch with plenty of free-spirited ruffles, lace, and billowy silhouettes
Striped Polos
The fashion set has been embracing retro-preppy polos thanks to their presence on the Miu Miu runways for the past few seasons, and the trend is only growing more popular this spring. For a fashion-forward look, opt for a striped polo—whether it's rugby-inspired or more feminine.
Lingerie-Inspired
Lingerie-inspired tops are taking center stage in elevated and unexpected ways. Try a lace top styled under a lightweight knit or go for rich shades of burgundy as seen at Gucci. A silky lace cami paired with your jeans and blazer is a foolproof look that won't disappoint.
Plaid, Please
We saw a resurgence of checks, plaid, and gingham on the spring runways on everything from separates to classic flannel shirts, many styled in fresh and interesting ways. For the print-averse among us, The Row’s looks brought an elegant and minimalist-approved take on mixing prints. Whichever way you style it, plaid is perfect for those craving a little more personality from their outfits.
The New Peplum
Once associated with cringe-worthy 2000s-era style, peplum tops are making a fresh comeback thanks to designers such as Khaite, Alaïa, and Jil Sander. There are plenty of cool new styles at Zara, Mango, and more, that are inspiring us to play with peplum shapes this spring.
