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 Büstenhalter, which literally means "busts-holder" and is equivalent to "brassiere".
