The roomy funnel neck topper is trending at the moment, and it’s one way to refresh your jacket capsule. Many have exuberant long sleeves so there’s a lot of movement in the silhouette. The idea is to wear a funnel neck jacket over anything. Allow the proportions of the outfit to take you on an interesting adventure, and enjoy the ride.
Importantly, the funnel neck detail can be worn down so that it lies flat against the shoulder neck points. That way you can choose to sport it high to cover your neck, or down to give your neck some space. Wear a funnel neck jacket open or closed.
Onto some outfit inspiration. Choose any colour palette if these are not to your taste. Be inspired by the proportions of the outfit rather than the palette.
1. Columned
A pair of black wide and pleated trousers is paired with a tucked rich earthy cinnamon top. A black funnel neck jacket is worn over the top, and open to create a column of black and showcase the contrast colour of the top. The column of black tempers the volume of the items. Dressy black boots match the black in the outfit, and booked the model’s hair. Add a bag that works with the outfit.
2. Skirted
A satin and lace patterned asymmetrical skirt is combined with a tucked black mesh top. A big black funnel neck jacket tops the combination and is worn open. Tall dressy black patent boots add shine and glam. Sheer black hoisery looks pretty too. Add a bag that works with the outfit.
3. Tiered
A pair of cropped black barrel jeans is combined with a top that we cannot see, and stompy black lace-up boots. A tiered and asymmetrical grape funnel jacket is zipped up and worn over the top. The black trim on the jacket matches the black bottoms. Blue, grey, or cream jeans would work well too. So would cream boots to match the model’s hair. Add a bag that works with the outfit.
4. Knitted
There are soft and cosy knitted funnel neck jackets if woven versions aren’t for you. Here, a melange seafoam sweater is combined with a pair of ecru corduroy wide cropped pants. Mismatched black belt and olive boots are an element of surprise. A knitted seafoam funnel neck jacket with subtle grey striped sleeves tops the lot. It’s buttoned through up top to showcase the high neckline. Add jewellery, bag, watch and eyewear as desired.
