The Pretty Summer Top You'll See in Every New York Park This Summer

By now, you probably already know that boho fashion is back (think ruffles, lace, and handkerchief hemlines) and taking the spotlight in all its glory. If you're not into going full Sienna Miller circa 2004, but still want to embrace the free-spirited trend this summer, then the milkmaid top is for you.

Last summer, we saw milkmaid dresses take center stage, but this summer, we've been seeing the cottagecore top trend dominate—from Portugal to Paris. The fashion crowd just can't get enough of breezy and billowy tops—identifiable by their light cotton fabric, lace or broderie anglaise detailing, mostly in summer white hues.

It's hard not to see the appeal. It's the perfect alternative to a white tee this summer, with a lightness suitable for the sweltering temps. Milkmaid tops are versatile enough to pair with many sleek bottoms, but we're particularly partial to bottoms that balance out, or are a contrast to the top's boho-leaning silhouette—think Bermuda denim shorts, capri pants, or, for a trend-forward touch, sporty track shorts.

It's the absolute perfect top for joyful summer occasions such as a park date or picnic. We're already spotting the pretty top in practically every New York park this summer, so if you're ready to get in on the cool trend, then keep scrolling below as we share our absolute favorite milkmaid tops to get your hands on this summer. You won't regret it.

Such beautiful detailing.
