Spaghetti strap dresses and tanks are a staple in any summer wardrobe. This year, spaghetti straps are thrown back into the spotlight after a general resurgence of ’90s trends and the “Sex in the City” and “Friends” reunions which feature ’90s and early 2000s styles. Whether you are keeping up with the latest fashion trends or just trying to stay cool in the heat of summer, spaghetti straps are a fun style to rock this season. Keep reading to learn about what’s trendy this summer and how to style spaghetti straps.
A few years ago if you went out to the bar or just out to dinner you would see these (on right) spaghetti strap tops on every 20 something woman. This style of cami used to be in every store; however, nowadays these shirts are a lot harder to come by. This tank top brought back spaghetti strap clothing and made thin straps trendy again. There is a fine line to watch when styling these tops because they can oftentimes look too much like sleepwear. Maybe this is why these shirts disappeared from the market and are not often seen anymore.

If you want to start wearing spaghetti straps again but don’t know where to start, check out these trends: florals, colors, and ruffle details.
Paige Denim has a super cute, modern-looking cami with adjustable straps. Adjustable straps are perfect if you feel like the spaghetti strap tops you try are too low-cut or revealing for your taste. If you normally stick to solid-colored clothing and are scared to try out patterns, look for large prints like the floral print on the left. Large prints are easier to wear and are less busy than smaller patterns/details.

Do not be afraid to try color and other fabrics, like cotton. Bright colors are very trendy this summer, and color blocking is a fun way to incorporate color into your wardrobe. A top with many colors can be styled in so many ways to bring out each color. Wear orange earrings to bring out the orange detail or throw on a light blue cardigan to bring out the blue details on the top. If you are looking for ways to stay the coolest as possible this summer, try out cotton spaghetti strap tops. Cotton is lightweight, breathable, and allows heat to escape your body which keeps you cool. Additionally, cotton tanks are often more structured than silk or polyester tops which may be more comfortable to wear if you are concerned about silk tops clinging to unwanted areas.

Lastly, spaghetti strap dresses are another great staple to wear this summer. Nothing keeps you cooler in the heat than a flowy dress with minimal coverage. These two from Zara are stylish and trendy for 2021. Tie shoulder details is a great way to fit the dress to your body while looking stylish. Hot pinks, sunset colors, and ombre/color blocking will all be trends spotted this season.
