This Throwback Halter Top Trend Will Complete Your Summer Wardrobe

Heat up your summer wardrobe with a halter top, the throwback trend that's having a moment this season.

And when you start packing for a beach day or vacation, you won't want to forget a 70s-inspired version, with colorful crochet or neutral knits, in your bag. But really, the trend can work for any occasion, depending on how you style it—with cut off shorts and sneakers for a casual summer day, vintage jeans and heels for dinner plans, or even a satin midi skirt for an elegant, elevated outfit.
