Just a few summers ago, fashion insiders swore by one warm-weather staple: the logo tank top. Teamed with jeans for laid-back days or elevated with satin trousers, heels and a blazer for after-dark plans, it was a wardrobe non-negotiable. For a time, it felt indispensable. But after a few seasons of heavy rotation, even the most versatile pieces can feel a little overdone. So, what is the style set reaching for now?
At first, I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. But this week, somewhere between strolls through the city and scrolls through Instagram, it became clear: halterneck blouses are this season's warm-weather go-to top.
With its high-neck design that elegantly frames the collarbone and elongates the torso, a halterneck top offers a refined alternative to more casual sleeveless tops. There's something undeniably graceful about the way it drapes, making it perfect for evening dressing.
For a foolproof ensemble that will look like it took a lot more effort to put together than it really did, try pairing a halterneck blouse with wide-leg satin trousers and strappy or slingback heels, or keep things casual by styling with straight-leg jeans.
Across high-street and designer labels alike, brands have woken up to the glossy appeal of this "old money" blouse trend. From Reformation's silky style to Saint Laurent's blush-pink iteration, read on to discover our edit of the best halterneck blouses.
