Roll neck shirts feature the folded-over collar that stands around the neck. Classic, cozy and polished, the roll neck is cold-weather elegance.
The fold flatters by framing the face warmly; it suits longer necks best and adds presence to slender frames. Petite women should choose a slimmer roll to avoid overwhelm. It is kind to all bust sizes.
Pair with tailored trousers or skirts for classic polish, or with denim for casual warmth. Tuck into high-waisted bottoms to define shape under the volume. The roll neck loves blazers layered over.
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.
