November Necklines
By Maryam Hamka
As November unfolds with its crisp winds and cooling embrace, it is the perfect time to cozy up in style and explore the fabulous necklines of fall fashion. Each neckline has its own charm, offering both warmth and a fashion-forward flair! Today, we are going to delve into a diverse range of necklines, from turtle to sweetheart necklines, that are perfect for the fall- truly the pinnacle of the fashion calendar. Below is an example of each of the 5 necklines we are going to explore, styled by Rory Gilmore, the iconic fall-loving character from Gilmore Girls.
1. Our first neckline that we recommend you embrace this month is a Turtle Neck. Turtle necks are perfect for extra warmth on chilly days and their effortless layering capability adds a touch of sophistication to your overall look. Whether you are heading to class, an interview or even strolling through the autumn landscape, turtle necks are a go-to choice to stay cozy while looking effortlessly chic. You can layer them with jackets, cardigans, and scarves, making them a versatile must-have for the fall season.
2. Next, when looking for a soft and draped neckline that is universally flattering, a Cowl Neck is a perfect choice. Its gentle folds and graceful drape looks great on its own or layered with a collared jacket! It is a wardrobe staple for November as it not only adds an element of casual elegance to your outfits, but provides warmth akin to that of a scarf. You can pair it with jeans or leggings for the effortless transition from day to night!
3. For those looking to embrace a more preppy vibe this fall, Collar Necks are for you! They are available in rounded, asymmetrical and pointed variations, offering a diverse range of options to style the top of your outfit. In the past couple of years, collared necks have been a popular & effortless way to elevate your look and make you stand out in the sea of autumn fashion. When you are seeking a preppy look, try throwing on a collared neck from under or over your fall sweater!
4. When the brisk fall air sets in, we all crave comfort and simplicity, which is exactly what a Crew Neck offers us! The Crew Neck is definitely a November essential, especially as we are nearing the end of the month. It is a go-to-choice for those casual days when you want to throw on a sweater without compromising your style. Nowadays, crew necks come with cool embroidery patterns and catchy/inspiring phrases from the back. I know I always smile when I see someone wearing a crew neck with “ To the person behind me, I hope you have a great day!” written on the back. The next time you’re taking on your to-do list, consider opting for a crew neck, a fantastic choice for fall/winter that exemplifies simplicity at its finest.
5. Lastly, a Sweetheart Neck is great for layering elegance for warmer weather favorites. While sweetheart necklines are more practical for warmer weather, the fall time is the perfect opportunity to showcase the versatility of this neckline. You can layer a sweetheart neckline on top of a turtle neck or under a jacket, allowing you to stay warm and enhance a beautifully
shaped neckline. This unexpected pairing adds a touch of glamor and chic to your November wardrobe, allowing you to truly embrace the line from Gone by Kanye West “ I’ll show you how I cook up summer in the winter”!
To conclude, November necklines offer an array of options to stay warm and stylish as the temperature drops here in Michigan. From the timeless turtle neck staple to the draped elegance of cowl necks and preppy perfection of collar necks, each neckline is unique and brings its own charm to the fall fashion scene. If you chose to style any of these necklines, we would love to see it! Send us your favorite looks to @ rossretailclub.
