This summer, the shoulders and back are uncovered. No doubt, the halter top is part of the great fashion comeback of the 90s. To finally have it in your closet, here’s how to design your own top.
Alternative to the crop top, the halter top usually covers the front of the body to reveal the curves of your back. A highlight of the season with the tennis skirt, it is quite easy to make it with your own hands, and it does not even require knowing how to use the needles. Between scarf and recycling, we explain how to make your halter top at home.
Knowing how to tie knots
This way of making your garment is the simplest. It also offers multiple possibilities to tie your scarf. Enough to save money and slow down your fashion consumption. @carolinafreixa uses on Tik Tok several ways to tie a scarf to turn it up. Here are a few.
To maintain the scarf, the Tik Tok user explains that it is necessary, first of all, to fold the scarf in half by matching two of its points. Then you need to wrap it around your chest and tie the ends under one of your arms. Tie a new knot at the edges of the scarf and put one of your arms inside the loop.
For this second part, Carolina Freixa ties the scarf, previously folded in half as in the first version, on her chest. She then passes the two ends simply behind her neck and ties them.
Another variation, fold the fabric in half and tie it around the neck like a cowboy (while leaving a little space). Thread both lace edges through the scarf and bring them together behind your back.
Cut an old T-shirt
@kendalldownes and @ lisajean1212 They also share on Tik Tok two methods of making a halter top, while recycling an old T-shirt.
Take a top that you no longer wear, cut your t-shirt crosswise starting from the middle. Pick up the lower part and slide it under your chest. You just have to turn the headband around and put it around your neck. Once the fabric is distributed over your chest, you’re done.
Arm yourself with a crop top with short or long sleeves, cut the back of your t-shirt in the middle and lengthwise, taking care to leave the collar intact. To remove the sleeves, cut from the collar to the armpits. Now comes the crucial step. You will have to cut the unnecessary parts of the back of the garment. For this, on each of the two halves, eliminate the upper part. Put on the garment and all you have to do is tie the two previously defined bands in the back.
So if you want to wear the same summer looks as Kylie Jenner or Bella Hadid this summer, these little tips will help you do it without spending anything in the process!
