Halter Tops derive their name from the halter neckline style,
which they have. These tops feature a high neck with deep, raglan-type
armholes. Some halter tops have two straps from the bodice that tie at
the back and in neck. These tops can have a horizontal bottom edge, or
their two side edges can meet in a V. These tops are highly fashionable
and are usually sleeveless and come with a single strap around the back
of the neck instead of one over each shoulder. Black halter tops are
highly feminine and preferred for formal occasions.

tops are very much in vogue even today and make a bold style statement
when paired with jeans and skirts. They are pure formal wear and are
meant for formal occasions and parties.
