round neck

Crew-style shirt opening

A round neck is a neckline on a garment that forms a circular opening at the base of the throat, following the natural curve of the neck.

It's the most common and basic neckline for T-shirts and casual tops: a simple round neck sweater.

The term distinguishes it from V-necks, crew necks, and scoop necks, though round neck and crew neck often overlap in usage.
