How Boat Neck Tops Suits You
Every stylist would advise you to dress according to your body type and this means choosing dress and other outfit styles that can accentuate the best features of one's body shape while camouflaging the not-so flattering parts. Along with the style and cut of a particular outfit, the neckline plays an equally important role. Choosing the right kind of neckline can go a long way in making the outfit sit you best or make you look completely disproportionate. Skip heavy neckpieces and jewellery with boat necklines. If however you must wear something, opt for longer neckpieces with lengths that end below the bust.
