English term or phrase: String top
I don't have any more context since I am translating a list of items but here are a few pictures:

For information, I am the proofreader and the translator has translated this into "T-shirt spaghetti" but I am not sure it is the right term, which is why I am asking for your help.

Thanks!

string top
top spaghetti


Explanation:
Another suggestion... Maybe 'top' is better than 'T-shirt', which I would think of as having short sleeves.

Haut à fines bretelles


Explanation:
Toutes les réponses données par les collègues sont bien, mais moi je préfère quand utiliser un mot français quand c'est possible.

Le débardeur n'a pas forcément de fines bretelles.
