Definition
It can be elastic, gathered, ruffled or clearly constructed and shows the collarbone and shoulder area. Internationally, the term off-shoulder is often spoken of.
In simple words
The wide horizontal line opens up the upper body and can visually widen the shoulder area. Soft ruffles look more romantic, smooth versions look more modern. With elastic models, the tension determines whether the neckline remains stable or slides up with every arm movement.
What to pay attention to
- Raise your arms and check that the neckline stays in place.
- Make sure there is enough grip without the rubber cutting into you.
- Match the necklace, earrings and hairstyle to the already strongly emphasized neck line.
Common misconceptions
A wide boat neckline is not automatically a Carmen neckline. With the Carmen cut, the shoulders are completely or partially exposed.
ESKYNA note
The Carmen neckline highlights the shoulder line - its elegance stands and falls with a secure hold.
