Fall fashion is in full swing, and this season, it’s all about the neckline. Think cozy funnel necks, oversize bows, chunky roll necks and fanciful collars as seen on fall-winter runways from Celine, Dolce&Gabbana, Bottega Veneta, Courrèges and Ferragamo. The best part? You can go as dramatic as you like. 

Try the trend by opting for a neckline several inches higher than your average turtleneck in the form of a structured sweater, oversize wraparound scarf or popped jacket collar. These high-neck looks allow you to be seen or unseen and provide extra warmth for cooler evenings. 

For a decidedly feminine take on the trend, draw attention to the neck with a pussy-bow blouse, tie-neck shirt or tailored jacket trimmed in fur. Designers are also featuring sweaters embellished with sparkling jewels and dresses with asymmetrical cut-outs or criss cross designs at the neckline, which will quickly become wardrobe faves. 

The key to styling neck-up fashion is to keep everything else simple so the focus remains on the face-framing collar area. Take your necklines to the next-level with these pieces and more at South Coast Plaza.
