It’s time to talk about the scoop or U-shape neckline, perhaps it is the easier neckline to combine and if you’re not well endowed, scoop necklines are great because they create the illusion of curves. Recently, we have seen that it has become a men fashion thing and honestly I don’t know what to think… I’m lying I know what to think, I don’t like!

Come back to women’s world, yes, the scoop neckline is flattering and versatile. a big YES for Sophia Loren!

The most versatile neckline because it does well any length, except those with the same or longer than the neckline itself. They fit fine with chain and pearl necklaces.

A great choice is to wear it with a statement necklace that highlights the U shape.

Also, bar necklaces, very fashionable today. If you are short like me do not wear necklaces too long, double strand necklaces are a great option and let the strips at different heights.

Avoid collars hanging so heavy that they end up making a V. If we have a U shape and the necklace makes a V shape, we have a problem of letters.

Great post on scoop necklines. I love Marylin’s style the most, several beaded strands of different lengths… that’s how I usually wear necklaces with low cuts.

Matching necklaces with scoop lines is an art in itself. Lovely examples!
