HALTER

Halter is a cut of the top in which straps or a single piece of fabric wrap around the back of the neck, leaving the shoulders and arms bare and usually the upper back. The name comes from the English 'halter'. This silhouette accentuates the line of the shoulders, collarbones and the open back, creating a refined, sensual look while supporting the bust with no need for shoulder straps. Halter is widely used in summer and evening dresses, tops, swimwear and jumpsuits. The style icon is Marilyn Monroe's white halter dress. Such a cut suits those confident in the line of their shoulders and back, and holds well thanks to the support on the neck. Halter is a silhouette of open, elegant sensuality, in which bare shoulders and back combined with support on the neck create an effect of refined, summer-evening femininity.
