Summer is shaping up, and it’s time to shed those layers and start showing some skin. What’s at the top of our need-now list? A halterneck dress. The ever-flattering neckline is back and better than ever, and a summery dress is a perfect item to incorporate the décolletage baring trend into your wardrobe for that easy, breezy feeling.
Designers played with every fabrication imaginable, from lurex to taffeta, in every hem length under the sun, to give us some of the best halterneck dresses we have seen in decades. There were plenty of Y2K-inspired versions on the runway, from slinky, cutout midis to rhinestone adorned minis, but if that is not your speed, there are many other options to dip your toes into the trend. Look to vaca-ready crochet knits for a ’70s approach or full-skirted day dresses for a completely classic feeling. Vibrant prints are also a good way to test out the trend and can effortlessly go from day to night, depending on the cut. No matter your pick, these styles are sure to sizzle.
Below, shop 22 of the best halterneck dresses to spice up your summer look.
