The halterneck top: A classic staple you can wear on repeat

If you’re looking for a classic staple like the plain white tee that you want to wear on repeat, the halterneck top is a great alternative to rock. Now coming in a variety of forms that subverts its original trope with details like crisscrosses and ruching, it’s fair to say that this top has even gone onto the ranks of becoming a subversive basic that can be worn every day.

As versatile as it is chic, even celebrities such as Emma Chamberlain, Dua Lipa and Jennie from Blackpink have taken an affinity to the halterneck over the summer.
