Suddenly, Fashion People Are Wearing Halterneck Blouses

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 are 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.

With their high-neck design that elegantly frames the collarbone and elongates the torso, they offer a refined alternative to more casual sleeveless tops. There's something undeniably graceful about the way they drape, making them perfect for evening dressing.

For a foolproof ensemble that will look like it took a lot more effort to string together than it really did, try pairing a halterneck blouse with wide-leg satin trousers and strappy heels, or keep things casual, style with straight-leg jeans.

Across high street and designer labels, 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 blouse, read on to discover our edit of the best halterneck blouses below.
