If we had to choose just one neckline that we absolutely love for evening and cocktail dresses, it would be the halter neckline. It’s an extremely flattering neckline that looks good on everyone, no exceptions! A halter neckline draws attention to your best features – your neck, shoulders and back. It looks best with toned upper arms, but don’t rule it out if you’re not a gym rat! It can still be very flattering.

Here are our top picks for halter evening and cocktail dresses:

White Halter Pleated Cocktail Dress

Channel your inner Marilyn Monroe in this glamorous, old-Hollywood style dress. This beautiful dress features a halter neck with deep v neckline and a full, fluid pleated skirt.

Burgundy Halter Taffeta Cocktail Dress

The rich color of this dress is absolutely fabulous, and the combination of a halter neckline and a full skirt very flattering.

Red Halter Beaded Chiffon Prom Evening Dress

Wow! You will turn heads as you enter the room in this beautiful creation. This dress is extremely flattering to your bust, and skims over your bottom part. The red color is magnificent!

Black Halter Party Dress

The ultimate little black dress, this cute piece features sparkling beads detail and a V-neckline. Shirred bodice and a sweeping skirt make this cut universally flattering. At just $42, it’s very affordable, too!

Deep Blue Halter Top Beaded Evening Gown

For your very special event, this evening dress is absolutely magnificent. We love the halter neckline of course, and the deep shade of blue. The classic, bell shaped, tulle-lined skirt creates a dramatic look.

Silver Satin Halter Evening Gown

There’s something about a halter neck, there’s something about a metallic dress, and there’s something irresistible about the combination of both! This evening gown is absolutely stunning. It comes in gold too, for those of us who look better in gold jewelry.
