halter definition and meaning

What is a "halter"?

A halter is a type of garment or neckline that fastens around the neck, leaving the back and shoulders exposed. Halter tops are often made from lightweight fabrics and can be found in a variety of styles, including casual tank tops and more formal blouses. The halter neckline is also a popular choice for formal dresses, such as prom or evening gowns. The halter style can be both flattering and functional, as it can help to accentuate the shoulders and upper back while keeping the chest area covered. Halter tops and dresses can be paired with a variety of bottoms, such as jeans, shorts, or skirts, making them a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
