Something was bothering me about it but I still tend to talk myself into things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996800 Tue, 29 Jan 2019 02:02:27 +0000 jussie 1996800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like how they look on other people- im not quite sure if they work on me personally though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996791 Tue, 29 Jan 2019 00:41:03 +0000 Gigi 1996791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to be such a downer on the shoulder fit! I think that over time it would start to bother you more and more. I think it is wise to return it.</p> <p>A couple of years ago, I bought a really cute striped top that was a tad too big in the shoulders. It was made from rayon, and I thought I could shrink it by washing on hot. Well, it didn't shrink (go figure...). After only one season, I couldn't stand wearing it anymore. I hated the extra fabric in the armpits and how it pulled on my shoulders when I would move around, and I was always readjusting the top in the shoulder area. I promised myself I wouldn't buy anything too big in the shoulders again. And now I get to harp on shoulder fit on others. :)</p> <p>I hope that you can find another top that is similar. It was a very cute top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996738 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 19:59:11 +0000 Christina F. 1996738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks, everyone, for your input. I like them because I don't&nbsp; have to fuss with keeping them folded over - turtlenecks don't lay nicely for me, and any kind of fussiness in clothing where things have to lay just so never seems to work for me. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Despite the lack of success on these items (though I can hope to find the AT sweater eventually), I do have a couple of long sleeved mock necks that do work for me. I am also interested in this navy top from Everlane.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996713 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 19:34:32 +0000 nemosmom 1996713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the mock necks better than the roll neck ones - I like the simplicity and modern twist on (what I consider) a preppy top; the mock is less fussy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996704 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 19:16:47 +0000 Sal 1996704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are one of those things that really suit some people - like Janet I will be avoiding them - but I do like them on others. I am hoping to find ribbed fitted tops with a shallow scoop or boat neck for winter- long sleeved. I do occasionally wear a turtle neck and with long sleeves they suit me better than short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996701 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 19:09:24 +0000 Angie 1996701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What <b>Brooklyn</b> said.</p> <p>I'm on Team Mock Necks too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996668 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 17:22:55 +0000 Christina F. 1996668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Larger size isn’t available right now for the AT sweater. Will stalk. BR top is going back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996620 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 13:30:25 +0000 Christina F. 1996620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Citygirl- striped is from Banana Republic, the plaid from Ann Taylor. </p> <p>Gigi, you’re right. I was hoping to ignore this problem but you’re right. I need things to be perfect (see my explanation above in the comments about my shopping this year). Back it goes. I could see how the neck might stretch out. That’s a better argument for the AT one, which is a substantial fabric. I’ll see if the store had the next size when I return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996606 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 11:54:31 +0000 citygirldc 1996606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love mock necks since they are an homage to the 60s which I’m so into. Where did you purchase these tips? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996585 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 06:37:26 +0000 Gigi 1996585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are cute tops. I'm personally not a fan of mock necks, but they're very popular. I feel like the neck gets stretched out and misshapen after a few washes. Maybe I've had inferior quality mock necks. :)</p> <p>I would try a size up on the plaid one to see if that fits any better. On the striped one, it looks to me like the shoulders are too wide, creating a bit of excess fabric in the armpit area. I have that problem too and am very sensitive to it. Too bad the top doesn't come in petite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996572 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 03:13:46 +0000 Jessikams 1996572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hated mock necks for years. Suddenly into them now! But I worry they emphasize too much BOOB with my narrow shoulders. Gotta try it and see. Thanks for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996552 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 01:09:26 +0000 Brooklyn 1996552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second what Kate said. I like both of these but agree it would be worth trying a size up in the second one. The second one is really lovely and unique!</p> <p>I love mock necks and have also been stocking up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996551 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 01:07:19 +0000 Windchime 1996551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a long neck, and they’re not the most flattering style for me. Like Janet, I need either a full turtleneck or a different type of neckline.</p> <p>I love the Ann Taylor plaid! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996550 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 00:55:19 +0000 Kate 1996550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love mock necks and turtlenecks both, and wear them all winter. I like both of these on you very much. I can see why the black &amp; white stripe is an essential. Very cute. I do love the plaid and think it looks great on you. If you're uncertain, try on a size up before you make a final decision.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996547 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 23:51:03 +0000 Christina F. 1996547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn, I was wondering if anyone would notice - I didn’t ask about it because I didn’t want to poison the well, so to speak. That area of the shirt moves around a bit. I think it’s because my shoulders are relatively slight, but if I sized down, the rest would be too clingy. I am used to this problem, to a degree, of course. The arm openings themselves feel fine, so I think it’s more a question of not filling out the shoulders so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996545 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 23:27:54 +0000 Jenn 1996545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do the arm openings feel right on the striped one? They look a little awkward in the first photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996532 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 22:21:44 +0000 Christina F. 1996532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting range of opinions!</p> <p>Janet - yeah, photo fail on my part. My neck is short so they do cover a lot of it. I’ll see if I can get my husband to take a pic. </p> <p>Sal - this is my fear, especially for the sweater. The tee shirt is thinner and I think will work under a chuncky cardigan or blazer. </p> <p>Jules and Karen - I can try a size up but may just return for now. I’m trying to keep to a buying quota per month and I’m over. I can return this one and see about the bigger size next month, but I have a list of other stuff I want so it has to compete for a place! It’s making me scrutinize every purchase for sure, and I need the discipline-my wardrobe is larger than I want t to be now that I’ve defined my style. A larger size would be in the running if it looks good, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996530 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 22:05:42 +0000 Janet 1996530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish we could see the actual neckline on you in the photos! :-)</p> <p>I will say no to mock necks. My neck is one of those parts that is definitely giving away my age these days, and I look better in styles that either cover it completely (a full turtleneck) or draw the eye away (V necks). </p> <p>That’s ok, another trend I can pass by this year! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996523 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 20:29:22 +0000 karen13 1996523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A mock neck is like a half-height turtleneck - it gives a bit of the look without the folded over fabric. I really like mock necks but don't have many. I love the plaid and agree with Jules - can you easily try a size up? Stripe is also very cute. I may have to check those out next time I'm near a B&amp;M AT. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996522 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 20:23:53 +0000 Jules 1996522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you try a size up in the second one? I like the plaid too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996518 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 19:50:43 +0000 Sal 1996518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do struggle with them on me - unless worn as a layering piece under a jacket. If hot enough to wear short sleeves I don’t want a high neck and vice versa. But you may well be different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996516 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 19:46:47 +0000 Jenni NZ 1996516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What's a mock neck? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996510 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 19:37:13 +0000 Anonymous 1996510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me! &nbsp;Me! &nbsp;I love the sophistication of both of those tops. &nbsp;</p> <p>I like both of them on you. &nbsp;I have a preference for the striped but I love stripes. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mock-neck-fever---anyone-else#post-1996469 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 18:22:56 +0000 Christina F. 1996469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anyone else notice that mock necks are everywhere this season? I have some in a full sleeve sweater version, but this half sleeve kind appealed to me in a sort of retro way. </p> <p>- BR - this black and white one is a ribbed tee. It’s a nice essentia and I can pair with lots of stuff. Thumbs up, unless you all can detect a problem. ETA - there is a fit issue with the shoulders. People pointed it out below; I had noticed and wanted to see if it was just me. I will pass on this after all - I need things to be perfect nowadays. </p> <p>- AT - this one is a sweater. It’s very warm despite the sleeve length. I love this plaid. But I see now that it’s not forgiving with skinny jeans. In fact, the black jeans need to go, because they’re faded and I’ve since found I like AT skinny jeans better (these are Wit &amp;Wisdom). I tried again with the more AT jeans. These give me less muffin top, but I came to the same conclusion about how flattering this is. ETA - May try a size up but it’s not currently available online or in my local store. I’ll see if it pops back up.</p> <p>Anyone else attracted to this look? Thoughts on these items? </p>
