Halterneck Definition for the Clothing Industry

Halterneck
refers to
a type of
women's
clothing
with a single
strap around
the back
of the neck
instead
of straps
over each
shoulder.
This can
refer to
either a
dress or
a separate
shirt, called
a halter
top. The
latter is
a type of
sleeveless
shirt similar
to a tank
top (by
the American
English
definition).
Halterneck garments are generally considered more provocative because they leave the back free, exposing the shoulder blades. If a bra is worn with a haltertop, it is generally strapless, as to avoid exposing the back straps of a typical bra. Some garments with halternecks may tie at the back of the neck, as is often seen in bathing suits. The term "halter" comes from the German word for "holder," as in B'stenhalter, which literally means "busts-holder" and is equivalent to "brassiere".
