Why do we sometimes ignore the neckline of our outfits when we know it can make or break it!? Well, the silhouette, the fabrics, textures, prints and colours, all of them matter. But it’s a fact that the neckline of your dress or top can change the way the outfit fits and accentuates your figure.
Well, the right neckline can enhance or deemphasize your curves, draw attention to your face, elongate your torso, and just about transform your overall look. And yes, there are necklines that only suit a few and there are those that can be worn by any of us. But, if you’re aiming for perfection and looking for something that can be worn any time, then here’s our list of favourites that can never go wrong. Well, almost never!
The V
Universally flattering, the V neck is everyone’s favourite. You can keep it simple or go super deep to match the occasion and never feel under-dressed. V necks can be made dramatic by going deep and open or kept classic with simple length to wear even to your formal meetings. Effortlessly chic and feminine, V necks give enough scope to accessorise and are great when paired with dainty single-strand pendant necklaces and even layered necklaces.
