Polka Dot Halter Neck Top

Polka dots on a halter neck is one of those pairings that simply works, and has done for about seventy years. The halter opens up the shoulders and lengthens the neck, and the dots keep it playful rather than severe. Choose black for the version that goes with everything you own, or white for something lighter and more summery.

The fabric is 100% polyester, listed by the supplier as slightly stretchy, so there is a small amount of give without the shape softening. Sizes run S to XL, with bust from 34.6 in at S through 40.9 in at XL and top length from 23.6 in to 24.8 in, which puts the hem around the hip. The full measurements are in the table below and it is worth a look before choosing, since a halter sits differently to a standard top across the chest.

This is a top that shifts easily between day and evening. Wear it with denim shorts and flat sandals when it is hot, or tuck it into a high waisted trouser or a midi skirt with a heel for a dinner out. The bare shoulders are the whole point, so keep jewelry to a fine chain or a pair of earrings and let the neckline do its job. A linen shirt worn open over the top makes it a beach outfit, and a cropped jacket makes it a night out. Black with white dots is the safe answer, but the white version is the one you will pack for holiday.
