Boat Neck Dress Outfit Ideas

According to Wikipedia, a boat neck is also called a bateau neck or Sabrina neckline. It is a wide neckline that goes horizontally, front and back, almost to the shoulders and the leg. It is traditionally used in nautical inspired knits but is also available in more elegant cocktail dress and evening clothes.
The style of wearing this type of neckline comes from sailors' blouses or sweaters, often with wide navy blue and white horizontal stripes. The wide, smooth neck was handy for quick removal if a sailor fell overboard.

Today we will see how this neckline finds its way to fashion. Buckle dress, along with sweater is one of the most popular staples that have this type of neckline. It's a perfect opportunity for you to see how to design this dress into a casual or elegant staple.
