: The best proof is a picture - I've used "with a halter top" in the past. Remember - a halter top is backless - just a strap around the neck to keep it up.

There seems to ba a mix of halter necks and t-backs here so maybe tank tops would be right. You will have to base your answer on the picture
see here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeveless_shirt
where it says:
T-back shirt
A T-back shirt is a tank top that is much narrower in the back than the front. It is similar to a male variant of the halter top.
