    Summer Lace-Up Tops: The Marie Claire Edit

    Ready for summer? You will be if you invest in the most on-trend top of the season the lace-up. Feast your eyes on our top 10 we want them all! 


    So what is all the fuss about? With a lace-up you get casual, chic and glam all in one. It's  the perfect blouse to take you from day to night and to go in your holiday suitcase. We saw it on the Gucci SS15 catwalk and haven't looked back since.


    Try it in a classic crisp white to wear with a striped skirt for your trip to the Cote d'Azur or wear an oversized, colourful version with your bikini in Ibiza. You could even team it with a  tailored suit for work or go back into holiday mode with cut-off denim shorts.


    When looking luxe is key, our favourite designer versions are by Derek Lam and Tomas Maier. If you're not planning to splurge this summer, then look no further then
    Miss Selfridge and Boohoo.


    Our style advice is to buy into a plain version for everyday use and a printed or bold coloured lace-up for special occasions. One thing's for sure this style is here to stay
