Beaded Halter Top with Open Back

A halter top in olive, draped at the neckline in front and left open across the back.

The drape softens the whole front of the top, and the open back is what makes it breezy rather than warm to wear. Beading runs through as a subtle detail, enough to catch the light without taking the piece over. The cloth is 94% viscose rayon with 6% spandex, and that small share of stretch is where the comfort comes from. The model is wearing a small.

It is an easy top for a warm evening out, the sort where the back does the talking and the front stays simple. Keep the bottom half clean and skip a necklace entirely, since the neckline is already draped and beaded. Casual enough for the daytime, finished enough to keep on for dinner.
