Meet The New Neckline

FASHION

BY ANNIE BROWN

When it comes to glamour, the proper va-va-voom kind, well, there’s very little of it in my wardrobe.

Yet, I’ve made one purchase that makes me feel the teensiest bit like Sofia Loren sipping a dry martini in the 1960s: a black, long-sleeved and ribbed sweetheart neckline top.

Indeed the décolletage has been a source of inspiration for loads of designers the past few seasons: Bottega Veneta, Ganni, and Jacquemus, to name a few.

While the sweetheart neckline is a silhouette beloved by the current fashion set – think Pernille Teisbaek and Leia Sfez – it was also worn by Marilyn Monroe, and featured on Princess Diana’s famous revenge dress.

To keep the aesthetic fresh and modern, stylist Tara Morris suggests pairing a decolletage-baring neckline with a high-waisted trouser or jean to enhance the style’s figure-flattering and form-fitting silhouette.

“It’s a trend now, but I can’t see it not being a wardrobe staple. It’s a classic piece … it’s always going to hold appeal.”

– Tara Morris, stylist
