When you're craving a little kick in your wardrobe but don't want to go all out, a good top [1] is often the answer. Whether paired with jeans, shorts, a skirt, or trousers, there are so many ways in which a new top and feel transformative to your outfit lineup. Square-neck tops are a trending silhouette this season that comes with that '90s and early Aughts nostalgia we so often crave as of late. But more than fresh when compared against classic scoop, crew, and V-neck shapes, square necklines are ultraflattering whether you opt for a simple tank, puff-sleeve blouse, or long-sleeve knit.
When styling a square-neck top for Spring, there are myriad routes to take no matter your aesthetic. For date night, a fitted silhouette, be it minimal [2] or with a flouncy little sleeve, is perfect tucked into high-rise jeans. Or, you can go for a cropped version for a chic reveal of skin. At the office, a square-neck sweater or blouse is stylish with a polished skirt or pair of tailored trousers. We even like a figure-skimming style layered under a blazer or a square-neck jacket that can be worn as a top. For those off-duty days when your personal style can really shine through, why not embrace a little volume via a pretty peplum, puff sleeve, or open-weave knit?
