New Neckline Alert—This Fall Micro-Trend Will Update All Your Basics
There is a new micro-trend in town this fall and winter season and thanks to the endless amount of online shopping I do, it was pretty easy to spot. I slowly started noticing that the necklines on everyday basics such as long sleeve tees, bodysuits, and sweaters had morphed into a new shape. That shape is completely asymmetric and either slip off the shoulder entirely or makes a sleek little cutout but neither occurs without making the distinctive angular shape around the neckline.
This subtle yet exciting new detail is the perfect micro-trend to add to your assortment of basics for it proves to be just as versatile while still offering that bit of spice you look for when wearing a new trend. This one is easier seen than explained, so I'll let the 27 asymmetrical tops ahead do all the talking for me.
Leave it to Dion Lee to make the coolest version of this top.
I honestly have to look away. This whole outfit is too good.
Last but not least, a little mesh to spice things up.
