I prefer collarless toppers with high necks-Chanel style jackets, or drapy cardis/jackets. I also like to add a chunky necklace to break up the high neckline. It sort of gives the illusion the neckline is lower! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-kind-of-topper-for-high-neck-tops#post-2054657 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 11:05:58 +0000 Bijou 2054657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Molly, Clearlyclaire raises a great point. I have shoulder length hair and if I feel that I have too much happening around my neck, wearing my hair up tends to help lengthen or declutter my neckline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-kind-of-topper-for-high-neck-tops#post-2054551 Tue, 20 Aug 2019 20:36:21 +0000 Anonymous 2054551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Molly. I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking, but I wonder if you have the same problem I do with high necked dresses. Somehow they’re fine in their own, but add a blazer and something goes wrong. Either there is not enough neck showing, or there is too much structure on structure, as stiff, woven, structured blazer on top of a stiff, woven, structured dress. </p> <p>Angie and Suz both have lovely long necks, so they don’t seem to have this problem. But I visually look choked sometimes. </p> <p>My only solution is to wear one softer item with the structured one, so I don’t look so packed in there, lol! A drapey sweater with a blazer cut works well over a stiffer dress. Or one that is slightly more “cutaway” and leaves more torso visible. You might also try a long necklace to lengthen your neckline. </p> <p>It’s funny, all I need is for my collar bones to be exposed to feel like I have enough space. It’s the boat, slash, and high crew necks that look too covered up when I add a blazer. And typically those dresses are sleeveless. So on their own, they show enough skin to create the “skin” kind of visual structure that Angie talks about. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-kind-of-topper-for-high-neck-tops#post-2054540 Tue, 20 Aug 2019 19:24:23 +0000 molly221 2054540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Maybe it is just my eye getting used to it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-kind-of-topper-for-high-neck-tops#post-2054386 Tue, 20 Aug 2019 01:05:41 +0000 Anonymous 2054386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe the proportions are different over the high neck tops? Shorter or longer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-kind-of-topper-for-high-neck-tops#post-2054382 Tue, 20 Aug 2019 00:37:33 +0000 Cee 2054382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anything but a cowlneck !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-kind-of-topper-for-high-neck-tops#post-2054373 Tue, 20 Aug 2019 00:04:46 +0000 Suz 2054373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear almost exclusively higher necked tops -- crew, slash neck, boat neck (with close fit, not loose), shirt collar, turtleneck, jewel neck. I find blazers work really well with these. Ditto jean jackets! I also wear open front longline cardigans.&nbsp;</p> <p>A selection of my typical tops and toppers...</p> <p>Curious about what you feel is going wrong for you or what you don't like.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-kind-of-topper-for-high-neck-tops#post-2054367 Mon, 19 Aug 2019 23:09:19 +0000 molly221 2054367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have more and more of these tops and dresses. &nbsp;<br />I am not showing so much chest or neck.&nbsp; My old standby was cardigan or jean jacket.<br />I am slowing adding structure. I bought 2 blazers and those are not exactly right either.&nbsp;</p>
