Whatever hides the most. I despise my crepey decollete. I usually go with bateau, turtleneck (in winter), or crew neck.

Re: What's your favorite neckline?

I like most all except bateau or boat neck because I have narrow shoulders and the bra straps show on both sides. Also don't like stand-up collars which poke me in the neck. Otherwise, almost everything is ok with me. Oh, also don't like crew neck because it looks like menswear.

A true boatneck.

And for us totally pear-shaped chicks, it helps balance our proportions by widening the shoulders. 8)

Bateau and crew necks. I have small shoulders and it widens them with a bateau neckline. It's also good for my heart shaped face. Better than V necks.

I think a bateau is very flattering.

Same here.

I don't like the "off center" necklines, they look weird. I would be fidgeting with that, trying to make it straight,lol..

Ballet and scoop.

V necklines are flattering. But it's hard to find ones that aren't too deep - or too high.

Deep, deep, deep V!

Re: What's your favorite neckline?

My neck is so long and scrawny that a top with a higher neckline looks best. The true turtleneck is awesome on me and is my favorite. I have a wardrobe of turtlenecks in fabrics from the heaviest Aran wools to sleeveless cotton voiles. I also like the classic crew neck on me. Another good look on me is the ballet and boat necks because they show off my collarbone so well. If there is one neckline I don't gravitate to it's the V. I find it limiting for jewelry and my eyes don't see it as being flattering on me.
