Halter Tops

• Halter tops are a very casual summer style that's a little more revealing than a t-shirt or tank top. They feature ties or one piece of fabric connected at the nape of the neck, and show off a large part of the upper back.
  

  

  

  
  
  
  

  

  
  
  
  
   There are many types of halter tops available, from longer dress styles to barely-there cropped versions, tight-fitting to loose and flowing. There are also a variety of necklines available, such as choker-style, sweetheart and scoop. Their revealing nature make halters a summer top style that shouldn't be worn in the workplace.

Halterneck is a style of strap which holds up women's clothing which features a single strap or material which runs from the front of the garment around the back of the wearer's neck, and which enables most of the wearer's back to be uncovered.  The term is derived from the halter, which is placed around an animal's neck.

The halter style is commonly used with swimsuits, which enables the wearer to maximize sun tan exposure on the back and minimize tan lines. The halter style is also used with dresses or shirts, to create a backless dressor top. The neck strap can itself be covered by the wearer's hair, leaving the impression from behind that nothing is holding the dress or shirt up.
If a bra is worn with a halter top, it is generally either strapless or of halterneck construction itself, so as to avoid exposing the back straps of a typical bra.
A halter top is a type of sleeveless shirt similar to a tank top (by the American English definition) but with the straps being tied behind the neck. In another style of the halter top, there is only a narrow strap behind the neck and a narrow strap behind the middle of the back, so that it is mostly backless.
