The high-neck trend isn’t going anywhere any time soon. Especially as it has just been updated.
The new take on the already much loved style staple involves the addition of a keyhole cut out. Simple yet somehow it manages to change the whole dynamic of any look.
The keyhole detail is perfect for evening meals or nights out. It looks classy and having a peak of skin on show is very flattering. This means now that any fears about being too dressed up for evening drinks before going out are finally solved! It’s the transition piece us girls have all been waiting for.
The most exciting thing about this trend though, is that it’s completely versatile as there’s such a wide range of options. It’s not just all the different types of clothes it’s featured on: playsuits, long sleeved tops, crop tops, dresses, but also the actual design of the keyhole. All the different shapes and sizes mean it’s completely up to you where you take this look. Total fashion freedom!
For a more wearable day time look, a delicate tear shaped cut out would be the best choice. Not too obvious but still breaks away from norm. However if you’re going on a night out, why not take a more risky and daring approach to the trend by sporting a full on plunge? Go big or go home right!?
A common misconception is that a plunge neckline doesn’t suit a lot of people. In reality though it’s just that it’s such a statement look that it can be difficult to feel confident enough to wear it! Now, this can all change, as by teaming up with a high neck it suddenly becomes so much more wearable. You won’t feel as exposed as you may have felt before.
Topshop have a gorgeous velvet playsuit in at the moment which features this plunge combined with high-neck style and it looks so chic and classy. Perfect for the upcoming Christmas parties!
So, if you’ve been thinking your wardrobe needs a bit of an update, then an item with keyhole detailing is definitely the thing to get you back on trend!
