There are some items that just embody the season they are created for. A woolen cable-knit sweater is the ultimate winter staple, while a floral wrap dress practically screams spring. Where summer is concerned, there are few things that represent the season quite like a tasteful cropped puff-sleeve top. 

Often created in crisp cotton or airy linen fabrics, a crop top embodies summer in all of its warm-weather glory. And although the season has yet to officially start, this year we’ve already spotted a puff-sleeve crop top that is sure to become a summer favorite. Already worn by the likes of Monikh and Lucy Williams, Musier Paris’s Carrie top practically has summer written all over it. 

Complete with a mid-sleeve length, gathering around the arm, and intricate lace trim details, the 100% cotton top has certainly solidified itself as a favorite of the season. Styled alongside wide-leg trousers or classic blue jeans, Musier’s crop is a summer staple that will stay in your wardrobe for years to come, easily dressed up or down depending on your mood or the occasion. Keep scrolling to see how the style set is wearing the item, and shop crop tops below. 

Style Notes: Monikh styles Musier’s crop top alongside wide-leg culottes and The Row’s ever-popular leather sandals. 

Style Notes: Lucy Williams offers a casual take on the style, pairing the top with high-waisted jeans, and flat sandals. 

Style Notes: Just add a statement bag and you’re ready for an evening out and about (or an extra-fancy night in your living room).
