Types and Tricks Tuesday: Different Types of Necklines
Scoop Neck
A scoop neck is your traditional t-shirt’s neckline—nothing deep or revealing, just a little dip at the neck.
U-neck
A U-neck is like a rounded version of its cousin, the V-neck! It’s deeper than the scoop neck but still rounded.
Sweetheart
This type of neckline gets its name because it looks like the top of the heart. This is a very popular style for wedding dresses.
Square
A square neckline goes straight across the chest for a precise and elegant look. It’s defined by having strong angles instead of being rounded.
Cowl
This type of neckline occurs when excess fabric gathers at the neck for a draping effect.
Halter
A halter neckline is formed when a shirt is held up by straps that tie around the back of the neck rather than with sleeves.
Keyhole
A keyhole neckline is when there is an opening at the top of the shirt or dress that exposes just a glimpse of what’s beneath it.
