Styling: Cowl Neck

Cowl Neck

With a hood covering and a layering drape neck, ‘Cowl Neck’ is one of those all-round styles that perfectly suit all occasions and fit women of all shapes and sizes.


The neckline drape, which can either be designed in front, or both back and front, effortlessly highlights the face and shape in a way that frames the entire body figure.

Dated back to the 1920s, the neckline design that resembles a floppy, unstructured turtleneck and drapes below the collarbone was created by Madeleine Vionnet, a European designer famous for pioneering the revolutionary ‘bias-cut’ dress. The design draped expertly over the body, which changed the shape of women’s fashion.

Whether it’s for corporate affairs, dinner parties or other events, Cowl Neck can be designed and styled in varieties – be it as a jumpsuit, corporate gown, dinner gown, top or sweater.

Features of Cowl Neck

A cowl neck style shows a little skin that lengthens the appearance of your torso. This elegant style with thinner folds will add a little volume to your bust. However, depending on the weight of the fabric, thicker folds will add depth to your silhouette.
