Crew neck shirts have the classic round neckline that sits at the base of the neck. The most universal neckline in existence, it works on tees, sweaters and blouses alike.
The crew flatters most figures and is the safest neckline choice. It suits shorter necks by not cutting them visually. Very full busts may prefer a slightly lower scoop for elongation, but the crew is never wrong.
Layer crew necks under blazers, cardigans and jackets effortlessly. Add a pendant necklace to personalize the simple line. It is the foundation neckline every wardrobe needs.
Shop necklines with your lifestyle in mind: higher necklines for professional settings, open ones for evenings and weekends. Feel the finishing around the opening — bound or faced edges last longer than raw ones. If you fall between sizes, fit the shoulders and neckline first; a tailor can adjust the body. The right neckline makes the whole outfit work harder.
