Any kind of strap that hangs from the shoulder, or encircles one shoulder.

If it has a buckle and goes diagonally from one shoulder to the waist on the opposite side, use [[shoulder belt]] instead.

Should not be used for [[spaghetti_strap]]s, bra straps in general, or for [[strap slip]]s.  Not to be confused with [[epaulettes]].
