What is it:
Mesh tops have been seen on numerous catwalks this year. Designers experimented with silhouettes and patterns, using delicate, often printed materials for summer. The style can be found in T-shirts, crop tops and blouses with colorful prints, in muted colors or with elaborate embroidery in the design. Other designs have gathered details that give the bodice a dynamic and fitted look. But the mesh top wasn’t just seen in the women’s collections – it popped up notably in the men’s SS23 collections, crossing traditional gender boundaries.
Why you should order it:
The mesh top is a continuation of the trend of wearing underwear as regular outerwear, incorporating bras and camisole into the everyday look. When summer temperatures soar, the mesh top is a flattering yet breezy choice that offers opportunities for experimentation even on the hottest of days. The material is a sophisticated yet understated alternative and lends itself to playing with different layers.

Where we saw it:
From shimmering materials to lace appliqués and fishnet waistcoats, the sheer tops were a clear trend in the SS23 collections. At Laquan Smith, mesh fabrics were a key part of the collection, where bold colors met a variety of form-fitting silhouettes. Mesh and net-like tops were also popular with Celine, Zegna, Wooyoungmi and Theophilio, all of whom incorporated the style into their men’s collections in a bid to break gender norms. Dolce & Gabbana and Ferragamo, on the other hand, rely on elegant, feminine cuts with fine materials that caress the body and create eye-catching shapes.

How to style it:
With the mesh top, wearers can be keen to experiment. It’s great for layering, allowing for a variety of outfit options. If you want the top to be the center of attention, pair it with a simple, color-coordinated bralette. Wear the mesh top with high-waisted jeans and boots for an everyday look. Together with a skirt and accessories you create a simple evening outfit. The top can be combined with different layers, is diverse and offers variety. It goes well with an oversized blazer, silk shirts or vests.
