By Aditi Chaurasia
The right neckline can make a statement, create a balanced silhouette and set the stage for fabulous accessories. So we’re here with some fantastic, trendy necklines for your ethnic wear, so you can choose the best among them and slay every look. If you’re styling a saree, our guide to blouse designs pairs perfectly with this.
Boat neckline
From a beautiful bridal lehenga to an elegant anarkali kurti, from a gorgeous salwar kameez to a trendy palazzo suit, the boat neckline has covered every sphere of ethnic wear and become one of the most preferred necklines among millennials.
Off-shoulder neckline
This trendy, sumptuous neckline has gained popularity in a short time. From every angle it’s a perfect mixture of western elements with ethnicity — with beautiful straps running across the shoulders, it leaves your collarbones and neck bare for the accessories you want to carry.
Jewel neckline
This neckline is a gem — a jewel among necklines. Complete in itself, it needs no accessory or brooch to complement it. Whether formal wear or a loud ethnic look for cold winters, it suits everything: it encircles the neck and gives your ethnics a sombre, ultra-classy and graceful look.
Asymmetric neckline
This neckline is quite out of the ordinary — a gift of creativity from our fashion designers. It gives you the freedom to choose lines and designs running everywhere and anywhere, shaping the look exactly the way you select it.
Cowl neckline
Like an oversized turtleneck, the cowl neckline sports a large, loose collar that sits gathered around the neck. The collar is usually very long when stretched out but is meant to drape softly. It’s a very comfortable style, great for knits and soft-handed fabrics, and adds a fresh, chic look to your ethnics.
Square neckline
A statement for the salwar kameez, the square neckline adds a definite, defined shape to kurtis. It dips down with the sharp, structured outline of a square, works well for stiff fabrics and designs, and gives a classy ethnic look.
U-shaped or V-shaped neckline
Here the front of the collar is angled down the centre to form a V or a U. Usually a dressier design, it’s used across many fabrics but is especially good at keeping its shape in structured materials — the appearance is crisp, clean and sharp. Resting below the clavicle, it’s excellent for accentuating the neckline, and because of the open space over the chest, it’s perfect for showing off a statement necklace.
Necklines add style and elegance to your outfits — they hold the power to make or break a look. Choose from this array of conventional and unconventional necklines to make a fashionable statement, and pair them with the right kurti styling for a complete outfit.
