What is a Boat Neck?

A boat neck, also known as a bateau neckline, is a wide, horizontal neckline that extends across the collarbone, exposing the shoulders and the base of the neck. The boat neck is characterized by its gently curved shape, resembling the outline of a boat's hull. It is a classic and timeless neckline that can be found in various clothing styles, including tops, dresses, or sweaters. The boat neck creates an elegant and feminine look, highlighting the neck and collarbone while maintaining a modest and sophisticated appeal. It can be flattering for different body types and can be paired with various sleeve lengths or neck accessories to create different looks.
