Wedding and evening dresses with a high neck

The high neck covers the neckline and draws the eye up, towards the face, creating a long gathered vertical. It is appropriate for a restrained ceremonial image and an expressive lace top; it is better to choose earrings instead of a necklace, and check the height of the collar and the movement of the head in a particular model at the fitting.

The earrings here take on the role of the main decoration: the high neck fills the décolletage area and directs attention to the face. The line rises from the bodice to the neck, gathering the top into a single vertical. Such a cut is read discreetly, but the degree of closure does not yet determine its mood - it is created by transparency, texture and decoration.

A closed top can sound different

Lace leaves the skin partially visible through the pattern and makes the neckline softer. Illusory basis can connect the decor to the neckline, while the opaque smooth fabric builds a sharper graphic plane. Embroidery, flowers or beads near the face become more noticeable than on an open neckline, so their scale should be appreciated up close and in a portrait photo.

The high neck often continues long sleeves, creating a complete ceremonial top; sleeveless, it shows more of the shoulders and leaves more exposed skin on the sides. IN cases the vertical neckline continues the long laconic contour, and contrasts with the flared skirt on an A-silhouette or ball gown. Gathered hair reveals the shape of the collar completely, a low bun can touch its edge, and loose hair can partially hide the decor. A necklace is often superfluous: the accent will be more accurately set by earrings or an ornament in the hair.

When trying on, turn your head to both sides, sit down and see how the neck looks in profile. Its real height, density of the edge and whether the decoration does not conflict with the hairstyle are important. For an official ceremony, you can choose a calmer opaque plane, for an evening look - transparent lace or light decor. After choosing a dress, you should look for earrings and hair accessories already taking into account its texture in the section CRYSTAL accessories.
