Necklines & Collars

Halter neck

A halter neck has straps or a single band that wrap around the back of the neck, leaving the shoulders and upper back bare. By drawing support up to the neck, it frames the shoulders and is common on dresses, tops, and swimwear.

Anchoring the garment at the back of the neck bares the shoulders and back while supporting the bust, which both shows off the shoulders and gives a clean, strap-free back line.

It's a warm-weather and eveningwear favourite, and a sportier alternative to off-the-shoulder when you want the shoulders bare but the front secure.
