How Important is Your Neckline?

When considering an overall look, neckline is a significant factor. How can that be? Well, the shape of your face and your whole body for that matter are complimented by the style of the clothes that you wear. Have you ever noticed women that almost always look good? Maybe it's a celebrity or someone in your office. They look good in the clothes that they wear. Do you wonder how they do that? No matter what their body type or height or weight, they know how to dress their body. That's the key.

This starts out small. Take notice of what it is about your favorite outfits that makes them your favorite. Is it the color that makes your eyes pop, or the style that highlights your best features? When you try on new clothes, ask yourself if they really work for you. You're not just shopping for a dress, you're shopping for a dress meant for you!

If this whole concept seems a bit overwhelming, start out with something simple like your neckline. What is the best neckline for your face? Honestly I find it hard to determine which shape my face fits into. But I know when I look in a mirror if something looks good on me or doesn't. Over the years I've tried on so many different styles that I know which necklines will work for me and which ones will not. I also know which ones look the best and which are passable. Because I know this, it's easy for me to quickly weed out items that I know will not work for me when I shop. This saves me the trouble of buying something online that I will simply have to return immediately. It also saves me the hassle of trying on an item in store only to be disappointed in the fitting room.

Your neckline not only has a direct effect on your face, but it can also set the tone for your outfit. Something low cut in the front, no matter how casual, can give off a sexual vibe. A higher neckline can come off as conservative or professional. Be sure to pick the right neckline for the right occasion. This will help you to look well dressed for any occasion.
