Halter neck
What distinguishes a halter neckline? Its cut resembles a trapezoid and, among other necklines, is distinguished by the fact that it has a built-up top and more cut sides. As a result, the halter neckline exposes the shoulders and, depending on the cut, can also reveal the back.
Depending on the cut, this neckline can have different top finishes - from fancy ties around the neck, through a simple cut under the chin, to a high stand-up collar with a clasp. The halter neckline is most often found next to dresses and various types of tops, the classic ones as well as the short ones that reveal the belly.

The bateau neckline does not reveal much, but the collarbones and shoulders at this neckline are often slightly exposed, which gives a sensual effect and with this type of cut it can look very sensual. This can be seen especially in the case of elegant dresses, as well as oversized sweatshirts and t-shirts.
