halter neck

Shoulders-baring neckline style

A halter neck is a style of garment—typically a top, dress, or swimsuit—that fastens behind the neck, leaving the shoulders and back bare.

The straps extend from the front of the bodice and tie or clasp at the nape: She wore a halter neck dress to the beach wedding.

Also called simply a halter.
