shawl collar

Rounded jacket neckline

A shawl collar is a rounded collar on a garment that rolls back in a continuous curve from the neckline, without notches or lapel breaks.

Common on cardigans, robes, and tuxedo jackets: He wore a dinner jacket with a shawl collar.

The smooth, unbroken line gives a softer, more formal appearance than peaked or notched lapels.
