high necklines
Throat-grazing fashion choices
High necklines are garment designs where the fabric extends upward to cover most or all of the neck, as opposed to plunging or open styles.
They range from crew necks and mock turtlenecks to full turtlenecks and Victorian-style collars.
High necklines can read as modest, elegant, or fashion-forward depending on context: She preferred high necklines for the office.
The style cycles in and out of fashion, sometimes suggesting sophistication, other times primness.
