Halter Back Girl

Baby got back

by Jenna Igneri

Halter tops, which were once a wardrobe essential for every girl in the ‘90s, seem to have taken quite the hiatus over the past 20 years or so. However, like everything else from our favorite decade (okay, maybe not everything), the halter top is about to make a serious comeback.

Off-the-shoulder styles may have been the silhouette of the season this past spring, but summer is all about baring those shoulders and your back. Whether cropped, plunging, or high-necked, we rounded up the 17 hottest halters available now. Pair with your favorite cutoffs or miniskirt for the ultimate summer look. Or maybe with your favorite JNCOs? (Just kidding.) 

Be prepared to show a little skin this summer, as you click through the gallery below to check out our picks. May your inner ‘90s child rejoice.
