How to Pick a Neckline that Flatters You



Here are a few of the simple shopping secrets you can use to purchase the right neckline to emphasize your best assets.







Things You'll Need:





Shirts and blouses of different neckline styles









Step
1



Try a bateau to emphasize you neckline, also known as a boat neckline. This opens up to the shoulder with a slight curve. Bateau and other straight necklines flatter a longer face.




Step
2



Try wearing scooped or dipped necklines for a slimmer look. These two are more slimming than crew necks because they break up large expanses of skin.




Step
3



Wear V-neck shirts and blouses. Leave a few buttons of your collared shirt open to create a V-neckline. This look can pull the eye up to your face. A plain V-neck will elongate a round face, a low V-neck will flaunt your cleavage.




Step
4



Cover up and wear a turtleneck. Unfortunately, wearing one if you have a large bust may make you appear larger due to the extra fabric. To minimize this effect, cover your shoulders with a wrap or stole for they are practical and can add sophistication to your overall look. Turtlenecks are flattering for tall women with long necks.
