Hey now you can used after properties

as like this

HTML

<div class="parent">hello</div>

Css

body{
background:green;
}
.parent{
background:red;
    border-left:1px solid #fff;
    border-right:1px solid #fff;
    border-top:2px solid #000;
    width:200px;
    height:200px;
    margin:50px auto;
    position:relative;

}
.parent:after{
content:'';
  position:absolute;
  left:-2px;
  right:-2px;
  top:-2px;
  background:#000;
  height:2px;
}
