Women's tops with various necklines on a clothing rack

Portrait collar shirts feature a wide, soft collar that frames the face like a portrait frame, often with a V or scoop beneath. Romantic and face-flattering by design.

The wide frame flatters every face shape by drawing focus to the face. It suits most figures and adds vintage romance. The softness is kind to angular features.

How to Style Portrait Collar Shirts

Wear with hair swept back to showcase the frame, and choose earrings over necklaces. A portrait-collar blouse with a full skirt is vintage perfection. It shines for special occasions.

What to Look for When Buying

When buying by neckline, try the shirt on with the undergarments you will actually wear — neckline fit changes completely with the right bra. Check that the opening lies flat without gaping or pulling, and sit down in it if you will wear it to work. Consider your jewelry box: the necklines you own should work with the necklaces you love. A neckline that frames your face beautifully is worth more than any trend.
