Knowing fashion terminology not only enhances your understanding of fashion but also makes it easier to find the style or design you’re looking for while shopping. Here are some fashion terms that will help you express your personal style.
The neckline plays a crucial role in determining the overall mood and style of a garment. Let’s explore different types of necklines that can be helpful to know when shopping or conducting image consulting.
1️⃣ V-neck
It’s the most popular style. When the neckline falls in a triangular shape and the wearer has a round face shape, it can complement the facial features.

2️⃣ Boat neck
A style that is wide and elongated like the sides of a ship. Boat necklines, which can evoke a feminine feel, offer modesty with minimal exposure and a neat appearance. However, they may feel constricting for those with short necks.

3️⃣ Square neck
A square-shaped neckline that is coolly carved yet wraps around the entire shoulder, giving a neat impression. It is recommended to avoid this neckline for those with angular faces.

4️⃣ Off shoulder neck
A style with sleeves on both sides but exposes the shoulders and back coolly. There are various types, including V-neck off-shoulder tops, swimwear, and cropped knit tops that snugly fit the body, and one-shoulder tops that expose only one shoulder.
