There are several different neckline options from which to choose but there are no rules as to how the neckline should appear. The classic V neck or Princess cut is always a safe bet, but here are some other styles that can look stunning on you.

The good thing about this style is that it works well with all skin tones so whether you have a warm or cool tone, this will look great on you. Necklines on these dresses tend to be scooped or ruffled. Some of the more modern styles have a higher neckline, which helps to elongate the neckline and create a much more sleek silhouette.

This is probably the most popular colour pairings and is very flattering on most people. It looks fantastic with silver or white as silver compliments it well, but white is also a popular choice. Black is a more formal colour but is great for night out’s where you want something classier.


Pink and white are trendy colours for daytime wear, so try both of these together. One of the reasons these dresses are so popular is that they flatter your body’s unique features. The ruffle fabric is usually found on the cowl neck dress,s which helps keep them up and show off the hourglass or pear-shaped figure.

This is totally your choice. Although you could opt for a more classic style with just the cowl neckline showing through, it is very flattering on many women. The classic style will be slightly more flattering on most body types.
