You might remember many moons ago when flared jeans and Velcro-strapped tennis shoes with your favorite doll’s face plastered all over it were the essentials of life. Your favorite and default hairstyle was a high, side ponytail with a multitude of berets that matched one thing: your halter top. Well, as proven by this detailed flashback and as you will see further in this post: less really is more.
We are all aware of the life cycle of fashion and how styles repeat themselves. Not only do styles move in a constant rotation, but basic items also morph and are recreated into different forms of the original. The halter top is no exception. Easily comparable to a regular camisole, halters went away with the shoulder straps and said “hello!” to the attention-grabbing high neckline.
My Fashionista chose to pair her simple halter with Topshop’s print, high-waisted pants—not to mention the spunk of her suede, chunky platforms! As she so beautifully demonstrated, my advice for an outfit like this is to add a pop of color, particularly within the halter, because of its simplicity. Less is definitely the advantage here. Keeping with the trend, her accessories are small yet memorable.
Another idea is to stick with the tones of the pants with a halter such as this and instead add the color to your shoes. If you’re feeling rebellious, opt for this grunge faux leather style. Loving this look just the way it is? You can get a nearly identical halter here.
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I’m very simple and I like being comfortable, but if you are just like me, that does not mean you have to sacrifice your style! For the halter, I fell in love with the color so I paired it with some pants that would not steal the show but were comfortable and accentuated my curves!”
