Halter Coy

Have a hot date? Want a hot date? Whether you have one or you need one, a flirty halter is the answer to your wardrobe woes. Why? Because it's flattering and comfortable. A halter dress like this grommet-detailed one by Free People ($128) is just as sexy as a strapless frock, but you won't find yourself yanking it up or worrying that your chest will pop out. There's nothing cute and sassy about that. Available at UrbanOutfitters.com.

Why it's slimming:
  • Fitted halter styles draw attention to trim areas like the shoulders and waist.

  • The A-line skirt of the dress camouflages problem areas like hips and rear.
