What’s your favourite neckline and why?

I’ve always been a fan of v necks as have a large chest and these are generally accepted to be flattering but something has happened over the last few years.

Not sure if it’s my increasing age (more saggy round the neck/jowls), my ostrich like neck (vast expanse between my chin and my breasts), just wanting to be warmer, or Zoom, or the persistent trends (particularly love necklaces over fabric rather than on skin) but I now feel quite wrong and unfashionable in v necks and sharper in necks that hit above the collarbone. I think necklines change the whole feel of an outfit.

What’s your best neckline and why? Has it changed? And does anyone have any recs for higher neck tops for big busts? I can’t wear actual roll necks as my bust takes over completely and I feel strangled but never know what to search for to get a tight neck fit, crew neck and mock turtleneck are my best efforts.

I love a boat neck. I find it very flattering and chic on anyone

Boat neck. I wear balcony bras and the straps don’t show, think the straps are further to the side with that style.

Yes, balcony bra straps are further to the side - too far for me in fact, they don't stay on my shoulders.
