We may finally be coming out of our early aughts hangover, but that doesn't mean we have to say goodbye to everything from that era. We're still partial to low-rise silhouettes, especially the skirt variety. Another carryover? Stylish halter tops.

They're not hard to find. A simple scroll through top online shopping sites reveals a range of eye-catching pieces that'll easily slot into any summer wardrobe. There are more formal versions practically begging to be taken out on date night with somewhat skinny jeans and a baguette bag in tow. We even found a Valentino Garavani option with a handkerchief hem Carrie Bradshaw would love to wear around New York City on its most scorching days. There are also casual interpretations meant for running errands in hot, sticky weather or lounging around in while relaxing hopefully in your air-conditioned home.

This trend has had plenty of time to trickle down to affordable retailers. Which means you have enough funds to splurge on a few. Or if your heart is really set on going designer, you can add one statement top to your summer lineup.
