Y2K-Inspired Halter Tops Are Having a Major Moment

Notorious for being cute, casual, and very Y2K, halter tops are making their way back into our orbits. It’s not incredibly surprising, given the resurgence of so many early 2000s styles, but it is good news for warm-weather ‘fits and transitional looks. So, yes—the time to stock up on all the plus-size halter tops your heart desires is n-o-w.

Easily identified by the straps that wrap around the back of the neck to create a chic silhouette, this trend is super unique—and, thankfully, available in plenty of different styles for every mood. Pair ’em with anything from denim shorts to itty bitty mini skirts when you want to beat the heat, or layer on a jacket for that early-fall chill. (It’s hard to go wrong here.) There’s no doubt: Plus-size halter tops are quickly becoming a must-have staple that’ll take you well into the next season.

Whether you were a fashionista in the early aughts and remember them fondly (or not-so-fondly) or missed the original reign of these beauts and want to experience the 2022 iterations, get ready for the reign of new-and-improved halterneck blouses.

Here at Unruly, we’re committed to featuring plus-size pieces we genuinely love and want to share with you. We’re connected to an affiliate revenue program, which means we might make a small commission when you buy products through our shopping guides. This in no way affects pieces we choose to feature, and it never will. (Confused? We’d love to answer any questions you have about this. Email us at beunrulyinfo@gmail.com!)
