During my quest for sweaters w/ color, I’m also deciding which neckline I prefer. V necks are nice, if size petite, otherwise way too low cut. The same w/ scoop necks. I have many crew neck sweaters, but at this age, now feel that “opening” up that area is more flattering. I’ve decided on a modified scoop neck or more open crew.
Which neckline do you prefer?

I like a variety of necklines. just like I like a variety of materials. and styles..I could never stand to look like I am wearing a uniform

i’ve always liked tight crew necks, mock necks, turtlenecks. i can wear a v, but it has to be cut high. i just don’t feel comfortable in anything else.

V necks in warm weather, turtlenecks in cold and boat necks all year.

@Shanus My favorite is the same as yours. I think a modified (not too low) scoop neck is the most flattering on me. Some v necks just look too severe . Crew necks and turtle necks are both awful looking on my short neck.
ETA: I forgot about boat necks. They are my second favorite. They open me up and I think gives a slimmer look.

@haddon9 Yes. I think as I examined the modified scoop or anything that moves down & away from tight on my neck, draws attention away from the sagging beginning to occur. I can’t do a turtleneck w/ my petite frame. It looks like a head just sitting on shoulders. Not good.
Thanks for replying.

A modified scoop is nice, as is a boatneck. A rounded vee is nice but not as easy to find. Some cowl necks work well, as long as they aren't sloppy. I used to wear turtlenecks, decades ago; not now. I often wear a scarf and pin when I don't love the neckline.

I really like boat neck but I have all kinds of different style necklines.

I have discovered that whether or not a neckline is flattering has a lot to do with whether you have a long neck or a short neck, whether your shoulders are broad or narrow and often, a combination of the two. I have a long neck and narrow shoulders so anything too low makes me look like a giraffe. I need a higher neckline like a crewneck or a mockneck and a defined shoulder. Also, scarves look great on me, whereas my friend (who has a very short neck) hates them because she says she feels "smothered" in them. I wish I could wear lower necklines because my neck still looks pretty good, as does my collarbone, but they just don't work for me.

I couldn't agree more with the person who posted this. I feel exactly the same. I have one sweater that is a v-neck and I feel cold in that spot so I put a shirt under it. I also have some dark wintery colored Isaac pima tee shirts with v-necks and I have to wear a scarf with them even in the house they feel a little breezy.
I am also petite and find some v-necks and scoop necks can be too deep for me and it seems off somehow.
