I'm all about bringing the early 2000s back; bring back the Juicy Couture tracksuits, the crop tops, the denim mini skirts, the bejeweled T-shirts. But the one thing I still can't get behind is a halter top.
The halter top is almost universally unflattering; if you're wearing one, it's impossible to wear a normal bra and halters are almost always awkwardly cropped and cut. The problems feel endless. Really!
Luckily, this season, there's a silhouette that feels like the perfect modern alternative: the apron top! With a square neckline, slim straps, and (sometimes) a cute little empire waistline, the apron is your next go-to tank for summer. Shop our favorites in the gallery below.
