If you're finding it a bit tricky to pin down what exactly is a halter top, here's a tip: always look back, literally. You have yourself a halter when the neckline of your top just wraps around your neck and leaves the upper portion of your back uncovered, making for an effortlessly sultry moment when worn.
This makes them the preferred pieces for many beach babes and streetwear enthusiasts alike. With varying neckline styles, the humble halter top certainly allows itself to be worn through a myriad of ways. The ten influencer OOTDs we rounded up below are proof that anyone can rock them in whatever way they please. Scroll away and glean some inspo!
10 fresh, influencer-approved ways to wear a halter top:
1. Crochet Halter Crop Top + Mom Jeans + Sneakers + Colorful Handbag

A dainty piece such as the halter can still fit in with your streetwear essentials. It allows itself to be the perfect starting point from which you can add on a pair of wide-legged jeans, some go-to sneakers, and a cool, varsity-esque jacket.

5. Matching Wrap-Style Halter and Skirt Set + Bikini + Sunnies
Need a quick but unique travel OOTD? Go for a cute but sultry halter and mini skirt set that will definitely turn heads! When it's time to get out of the water, this also makes for the perfect cover-up.
