7 Scoop Back Tops ...

By Sophia

Scoop back tops are a coy way of showing some skin. They’re also a great way of working the ballerina inspired style of dressing this season. Tops don’t necessarily have to be backless – just scooped at the back. Choose a higher scooped back if you are worried about showing too much skin. Take inspiration from the following scoop back tops.

1 Topshop Green Basic Scoop Vest

Topshop Green Basic Scoop Vest Price: $12.00 at us.topshop.com
Green colours are a fresh option for the summer months. They look great paired with a colour palette of whites and nudes. This basic tank top has a scoop neck and back. This top would look great teamed with a pleated white skirt and faded denim jacket.

Inhabit Pointelle Cashmere-Blend Top Price: $320.00 at net-a-porter.com
A bit on the pricier side, this cashmere-blend top is all about luxe casual dressing. It has a wide neck, scoop back, and curved cut out details at the sides. It also has ribbed trims and pointelle detailing at the sides.

3 Bassike Asymmetric Organic Cotton Camisole

Bassike Asymmetric Organic Cotton Camisole Price: $95.00 at net-a-porter.com
Scoop back tops can come in simple designs such as this camisole. This organic cotton camisole has a scoop neck and back, spaghetti straps, and a raw asymmetric hem.

This scoop back top features a bold ‘jungle’ inspired print. It would make a great statement piece. This top has a wide neck, scoop back, and elbow-length sleeves. For a fun evening look pair it with black skinny jeans, patent pumps, and a sleek black clutch.

5 Chloé Scoop Back Stretch Sweater

Chloé Scoop Back Stretch Sweater Price: $845.00 at matchesfashion.com
The most recent Chloé collection looked to scoop back tops in order to channel a certain ballet aesthetic. This top has a wide neck, scoop back, and ribbed hem. The price point, however, is a major deterrent. You could easily find a similar style top in an affordable chain store – look for tops in jersey or cotton fabrics instead.

6 T by Alexander Wang Stretch-Modal Tank

This tank top would be a great layering piece. It comes in an off-white/beige colour and features a scoop neck, low scoop back, and asymmetric bias-cut hem. The bias cut hem creates a draped, floaty aesthetic. Layer this tank over maxi skirts for a minimalist, draped look.

7 Jonathon Saunders Pocket Vest

Price: $74.50 at lagarconne.com
This top screams of sport luxe. It’s made from stretch modal jersey and features a two-tone colour block pattern. It has a scoop neck and back, ribbed banding at trims, and a front patch pocket. Wear this top with jeans and a blazer for a casual daytime look.

From basic tees to printed blouses, scooped back tops come in a range of designs. I find that some of the most effective scoop back tops are the simplest. Which of these scoop back tops do you like best?
