Shawl Necks

Call it a new twist on a timeless style. Once only seen on tuxedos at black tie events or chunky Ivy League cardigans, the continuous curve of the shawl collar has broken free from the classics. These days, it's been popping up on everything from sweatshirts and vests to unstructured double-breasted blazers. A unique finishing touch to any piece of clothing, a shawl collar will make you stand out with its distinctiveness while retaining those quietly elegant roots. Not to mention, the extra raise of the rolled fabric around the neck offers a pragmatic shield from the wintery elements, while remaining light enough to wear into the spring.
