Almost every day Gen Z uncovers another 90’s motif to bring into the present day. We’ve tapped into the cargo pant trend, shared our love for baby tee’s and even noted the capri pant return. (Here’s hoping they don’t find out about chain wallets). Wherever you look, the 90’s influence is clear, and for those who grew up in the era, it is an incredibly nostalgic moment. For summer, the newest trend that Gen Z has approved of is the halter top trend. And truly, it’s my favourite one yet.
As a self-proclaimed minimalist, finding points of difference to a neutral outfit can be difficult. That’s why I have such a thing about necklines. What makes one plain black top different to another is all in the composition, and a halter-neck is a great way to add intrigue to a look whilst remaining in your aesthetic. Especially come summertime, when many are looking to show more skin and shed any unnecessary fabric, a halter-neck tends to accompany an open back, making it not only incredibly chic, but very much a clever choice on the warmest days.
Lucky for us, brands have clocked on to the trend early and have an array of halter tops on offer. There’s everything from simple classics to trending corsage styles, plus intricate crochet versions and even a few long sleeve options if you’re preparing for the cooler months.
