A tank top is a sleeveless women’s garment with a halter-style neckline that exposes the upper back and shoulder blades. It is often made of elastic knitted fabrics and can be worn with a strapless bra. The halter neck style is also popular for dresses.
A tank top is a women’s garment that uses a halter-style neckline, involving a single strap around the neck, rather than two straps or sleeves over the shoulders. The design exposes a large area of the upper back and shoulder blades and is generally worn during warm weather. This type of top is also considered a somewhat provocative garment, due to the large amount of exposed skin. A variety of materials can be used to make these caps.
The halter neck style is very popular for women’s tops and dresses. The strap around the neck can be attached in various ways. A halter neck is often tied on, but the strap can also be broken off or simply slipped over the head. The straps support the weight of the breasts. This is important for women who don’t wear a bra with a tank top, as the bra straps would show through. In tops designed for women with larger busts, the top may have additional reinforcement.
If you choose to wear a bra with a tank top, the bra is usually strapless. Women may find it helpful to take a sleeveless top to a lingerie store while trying on bras, to determine whether or not they will work with tops of this design.
The materials used for this type of top are often elastic, to allow freedom of movement. Knitted fabrics are the most common option, usually made from a natural fiber such as cotton. Woven cotton blouses are designed for more formal occasions, and synthetic fibers can also be used to create your desired look. Crochet and lace tops are worn by more daring women, and some knitters make their own for a custom fit.
The halter dress is a favorite variation on the halter top. Sleeveless dresses can be full-length formal dresses, or more casual knee-length sundresses designed for casual wear. A variety of cuts and waists are available to flatter various figures. Shapewear and other accessories are sometimes sold with a halter dress as well.
