Top 10 Mock Neck Tops
Fall's New Blouse Trend Is Totally Work Appropriate
At this point, we probably don't need to tell you that the '90s are back in a big way. They have been for a few seasons now, from the resurgence of overalls and bike shorts to pieces that have reached staple-status like high-rise jeans and our beloved Fendi baguettes. But as much as we adore the fashion gems this era has brought us, there's no denying that many of them aren't exactly destined to last for years to come. There's one '90s trend, though, that's been on our radar for quite some time and only continues to impress us: the mock-neck top. The sweet spot between a crewneck and a turtleneck, this versatile silhouette is the perfect transitional piece for the fall season. It'll give you a little extra warmth for the cooler temps, without forcing you to commit to the chin-restricting neckline that is the turtleneck. (Someone had to say it.) It's also easy to layer, conveniently appropriate for the workplace, ideal for a night out, insanely simple to style—the list goes on. So without further ado, scroll through our algorithm-backed list of the 10 best mock-neck tops on the market and snag a few for yourself. From puff-sleeve versions (trends on trends!) to effortless office-ready picks, the tops that follow are the perfect way to kick off the fall season in style. Opening image: jcrew.com
