A new party wear trend is making itself known on the red carpet, with Katie Holmes the latest celebrity to endorse this asymmetric top style. A must-have in your autumn capsule wardrobe, it offers a new take on stylish tops to wear with jeans or evening trousers, and would even add a modern twist on how to style a satin slip skirt.
Attending the Stella By Starlight benefit for the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York last week, Katie Holmes was seen wearing the statement top style, with its high, swooping neckline, that glided into a one-shoulder design, creating an eye-catching look.

ASOS DESIGN
Satin Scarf Neck Top in Black
This halterneck-scarf top emulates Katie’s style particularly well. The one-shoulder design swoops into a neck tie, delivering the same asymmetrical shape as seen on the red carpet. The relaxed fit through the body is ideal with skirts or trousers.
Mango
Straight-Cut Crop Trousers
With a gentle crop at the ankle, these tailored trousers are the perfect pair to wear with heels for a leg-lengthening effect. The tailored style makes them ideal for teaming with floatier top silhouettes, as the straight cut will balance your shape.
Zara
Square-Toe Slingback Shoes
Although Katie’s shoes were more rounded at the front, these shoes have a similar chunky, walkable heel, making them a sturdy choice. The black faux leather is versatile and timeless.
MANGO
Satin Blouse With Foulard
Delivering slightly more coverage and a trending berry hue, this silky blouse features the halterneck silhouette with a delicate scarf drape to give wonderful movement and an elegant finish.
Zara
High-Waist Trousers with Belt
If you don’t already have a go-to pair of tailored trousers, this Zara pair are a must-have. Their high-rise waist and straight leg make them super easy to style, whether for the office or a party.
Mango
Patent Leather Block-Heel Shoes
These block heels are lower than Katie’s shoes, but they’re no less perfect for partying in. In a slingback style, you can trust them to stay on all night, and the rounded toe and patent finish make for a subtle but sleek look.
While we love a party dress for a festive occasion, there is no doubt that smart separates are having a moment. Katie’s endorsement of this directional top style has only cemented this design as a trend for the season ahead. A fusion of a halterneck and a scarf creates a lovely drape that really makes a statement.
Whether you opt for a figure-lengthening, all-black ensemble, or use Katie’s outfit as inspiration for jazzing up your favourite jeans this season, it’s clear, the scarf top is the trend to watch.
