The ideal neckline for a dress or top is essential for enhancing and flattering both your body and face. There are many factors that determine the choice of the most suitable neckline: face shape and the size of the décolleté come first. Together with Artigli, an expert brand in women's clothing, we will discover the characteristics that a neckline must have to suit different physiques and face shapes to create the perfect look every time!
How to choose a neckline based on face shape
The choice of neckline in harmony with your face shape can turn out to be a difficult task: here are Artigli's tips.
Let's start with the oval face to choose the perfect type of neckline: this face type is quite symmetrical, without protruding or angular areas. In this case, it is appropriate to aim for "V" or "U" necklines if the neck is rather short, and for shallow necklines or crew necks in the case of a particularly long and slender neck.
The oblong face tends towards verticality: it is therefore advisable to minimize it through very shallow necklines or crew necks. Definitely avoid necklines that tend to further lengthen the figure, such as deep "V" or "U" necklines, and items of clothing with vertical elements, like stripes and ruffles that develop upwards.
The square face is particularly angular, with sharp features: it needs to be softened and smoothed in its lines. Ideal necklines are "V" or "U" necklines, medium or very deep, while those to avoid are those with a horizontal cut and high-necked garments.
Those who have a round face must absolutely avoid crew-neck tops: deep, vertical "V" necklines or diagonal cuts like off-the-shoulder styles are welcome. Garments with vertical stripes and narrow, thin lapels are to be preferred.
The inverted triangle face shape is a very particular type of face, wider at the forehead and thinner at the chin. No to overly marked "V" necklines: better to prefer rounded necklines that bring harmony to the overly pointed face shape.
How do we adjust for a diamond-shaped face? We are talking about a face with regular proportions, but more structured, with pronounced cheekbones: in this case, rounded necklines are preferred, such as the crew neck, the "U" neckline, or the boat neck.
Neckline to enhance a small bust
To elegantly enhance a small bust, different types of necklines are preferred, such as the halter neckline, which features straps crossing behind the neck that optically increases the width of the chest area.
A particularly deep V-neckline is a guarantee of sensuality for a small bust: it lengthens the figure and creates an aura of mystery around the actual size of the décolleté.
The “Off the shoulders” or “Bardot” neckline, named after the great diva, is also perfect for those who do not possess abundant curves: this neckline creates a horizontal line that adds volume and highlights the bust.
Neckline to enhance an abundant bust
Those with a significant décolleté will appreciate a sweetheart neckline, designed to lift the bust and stylize the shoulders and neck: it adapts perfectly to any type of physique.
A straight neckline is recommended for those who wish to highlight their curves without adding extra volume, thus creating a minimal and sophisticated look while still enhancing the figure and femininity.
The scoop neckline is ideal for women with an abundant bust since it manages to balance the silhouette in a delicate way: a type of neckline particularly indicated for those with medium-wide, narrow, or sloping shoulders because it widens the neck and creates more volume on the chest.
Neckline to enhance a medium bust
The V-neckline enhances curves and creates a balance point in the silhouette, particularly suitable for those with a medium-sized bust.
The scoop neckline, rounded and with wide straps, is designed for those who want to create a voluminous effect on the chest without overdoing it.
In short, in both cases we are talking about a type of neckline that captures attention on the chest area, but without excess, elegantly and very femininely delineating the torso: preferred necklines both when it comes to dresses and tops, shirts, and any type of clothing item reserved for the upper part of the body.
