A spaghetti strap (also called a noodle strap) is a very thin shoulder strap used to support[1] clothing, while providing minimal shoulder straps over otherwise bare shoulders. It is commonly used in garments such as swimwear, camisoles, crop tops, brassieres, sundresses, cocktail dresses, and evening gowns, so-named for its resemblance to the thin pasta strings called spaghetti.
Spaghetti straps are fragile suspenders meant to support a light clothing.[2]
Spaghetti straps may not meet some dress codes. For example, they are not welcome at Ascot Racecourse[3] as well as in traditionalist societies like Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan.
