I'm Not Buying Any New T-Shirts—All I Want to Wear Is This Grown-Up Top Trend
It makes jeans, trousers and even shorts feel incredibly elevated.


I love my white T-shirts—I really do. But lately, I’ve been feeling a little uninspired by the casual finish they give my everyday outfits. Craving something a touch more grown-up, I went on a scroll in search of a top trend that could deliver the easy elegance I feel I've been lacking so far this spring.
It didn’t take long before I landed on the cowl neck top trend. Not quite as fussy or difficult to wear as a halterneck, but worlds apart from a basic tee, this silhouette borrows the elegance of a draped blouse, creating a comfortable yet wearable design steeped in sophistication.
Case in point: Rochelle Humes, who was spotted just this week in a glossy cream cowl neck top, styled with tonal high-waisted trousers and a brown suede trench. Simple yet striking, the cowl neck detailing added volume and movement to her dual-toned look, elevating her style in the most understated way.
Whether the fabric pools into a plunging neckline or softly scoops into a high-neck, the beauty of the cowl lies in its subtle drama. The draped detailing, especially in satin or silk iterations, brings a luxurious finish that feels both timeless and trend-aware.
Perfectly paired with tailored trousers or flowing skirts, this top also offers a chic way to elevate your favourite jeans or shorts. Just add a straight-leg style and a sleek pair of kitten heels, and you’ve got an outfit that feels as comfortable as it is polished.
Fortunately, there’s no shortage of stylish options to shop this season—from H&M’s sleeveless takes to Toteme’s high-shine cream blouse. Read on to shop my curated edit of the best cowlvneck tops below.
