Modern Tailoring & Abstract Prints: TOPSHOP Trends For Summer

Modern Tailoring & Abstract Prints: TOPSHOP Trends For Summer

New arrivals from the TOPSHOP Spring/Summer 2026 range have landed at McElhinneys, bringing with them a fresh wave of trend-led styles for this season. 

This collection is all about effortless dressing, combining standout pieces with elevated everyday essentials.

From bold colours and playful prints to relaxed silhouettes and statement details, TOPSHOP captures the key trends shaping Summer. 

Here’s a closer look at the must-have styles and trends to know this season. 

Crochet 

 

Crochet is a standout trend for Spring/Summer, bringing a handcrafted, bohemian feel to modern dressing.

Light, breathable and full of texture, crochet pieces are perfect for warm weather styling—ideal for layering over swimwear or pairing with denim for an effortless summer look.

The TOPSHOP Gerdi Crochet Knit Short Sleeve Shirt is a vibrant, gorgeous top that adds a handcrafted feel to your wardrobe. 

 

Modern Tailoring 

 

 

 

Clean cuts and sleek lines that can be transitioned from day to night have made a major comeback in the fashion industry in recent seasons. 

This time around, however, we are seeing modern tailoring with a twist: brighter and bolder colours instead of the classic black, navy, and grey tones we would usually associate with suits and blazers.

An example of this trend, which we are obsessed with this season, is the TOPSHOP Karin Linen Blend Cinched Blazer, which comes in this vibrant turquoise blue colour.

Made from a linen blend, this blazer is the pop of colour your wardrobe needs this summer!

 

Abstract Prints 

 

 

Abstract prints are a key trend this Spring/Summer, adding a bold and modern edge to everyday dressing.

From soft brushstroke patterns to striking graphic designs, these pieces bring movement and personality to any outfit—perfect for making a subtle statement while staying effortlessly wearable.

The TOPSHOP Mary Floral Ruched Maxi Dress shows that a dress can be both bold and elegant at the same time.

This dress would be perfect for summer holidays or any upcoming summer weddings you may have. 

 

Sheer Textures 

 

 

Sheer fabrics like mesh and lace add a light, delicate layer to Spring/Summer styling.

The beautiful TOPSHOP Layla Short Sleeve Lace Top is effortless elegance that meets seasonal style with this lightweight mesh top, perfect for everything from casual daytime plans to warm-weather evenings.

Delicate lace detailing and a soft tie front add movement and a feminine touch, while the breezy silhouette keeps it comfortable in rising temperatures.

Layer it over a cami or bralette for everyday wear or style it with tailored trousers or denim for an easy day-to-night look. 

 

Denim  

 

Timeless and versatile, denim remains a key staple for summertime, perfect for everyday wear and easy styling.

From relaxed jeans to lightweight denim jackets, it can be layered over tees, paired with soft knits, or styled with feminine tops for a balanced look.

Denim dresses have also made a huge comeback this year, and one of our faves is the TOPSHOP Lena Denim Mini Dress.

This sleek denim mini dress is a versatile staple for warmer months, featuring a eam front details that create a flattering silhouette.

The sleeveless design and classic round neckline keep it effortlessly wearable, while the back zip adds a modern finish. Style it with trainers for casual daytime plans, or layer with a light jacket and switch to heels for an easy night out look.

 

Elevated Basics 

 

Elevated basics get a fresh update this season with pops of vibrant colour. Clean silhouettes in bold hues bring energy to everyday dressing, making these pieces perfect for pairing with neutrals or layered with other bold patterns. 

The TOPSHOP Frida Striped Ribbed String Fitted Vest Top is a versatile everyday essential, designed in soft ribbed cotton with delicate string straps and a classic round neckline.

Its fitted silhouette creates a flattering, modern shape, while the striped design adds a fresh pop of detail to your wardrobe.

Perfect for layering under shirts, cardigans or blazers, or wearing solo on warmer days, it offers comfort, breathability and effortless styling.

The latest TOPSHOP collection at McElhinneys delivers a perfect balance of trend-led fashion and effortless everyday style.

From crochet textures and abstract prints to modern tailoring, each piece is designed with versatility and wearability in mind. 

This season is all about easy styling, standout details and pieces that transition seamlessly from day to night.

What's your top trend this summer? 

Until next time,
