    Learn More About Women's Halter Tops

    A halter top is a sleeveless shirt similar to a tank top but with straps that meet behind the neck. Women’s halter tops vary widely in design and concept, but their backs are typically open from the top to the waist. Available in cropped and full-length styles, they sometimes use snaps, fasteners, or fixed straps instead of ties. They often feature elements of other shirt styles, such as graphic T-shirts and men’s dress shirts.

    The wide range of women’s halter tops from the shops on Etsy can add versatility to your wardrobe. Below are a few of the most popular styles:


    • Choker: A choker neck halter top has a band of material that fits closely around the neck, similar to a choker necklace.
    • High neck: A women’s high-neck halter top covers most of the chest and may extend upward into a mock neck or full turtleneck.
    • Open back: An open-back halter exposes the whole back and comes together at the waist with ties or fasteners such as clasps.
    • Plunge: A women’s plunge halter has a plunging, deep neckline that typically creates a billowy effect down the torso.
    • Swim: Women’s halter swim tops usually feature spaghetti straps—thin strips of fabric that tie in the back.
    • Crochet: Crochet halter tops can come in any of the above styles but are knitted to create a textured, custom-made look.
