A halter neckline does two things at once: it shows the shoulders and it holds everything up, which is why it is the one we reach for in July and at every outdoor wedding. The maxis here are floral chiffon and satin, the midis are cotton gingham, stripes and beaded chestnut brown, and the minis are the tie-back and patchwork styles that go from the pool to dinner with sandals.
Headed somewhere warm? Vacation Dresses and Sundresses have the rest of the packing list. For the shoulder-baring cousins, One Shoulder Dresses and Strapless Dresses.
