Part of finding your personal style is finding which shapes, overall, make you feel most powerful.

This is not necessarily the same as finding the right shape for your body type; what makes you feel powerful won’t necessarily fit into pear, apple, banana, or any other fruit-based shape.

One of the most important elements of your personal style is your neckline. The right neckline will accentuate your face, and you can use the shape to accentuate or minimize your bust, whichever makes you feel more confident.

V-necks are universally flattering, though too low of a neckline will be unprofessional. Even if cleavage makes you feel powerful, it’s not appropriate for the courtroom or any professional setting. A higher neckline can make your bust appear larger without showing skin. Square and scoop necklines draw more attention to your face but can also make you feel too bare.

If you’re wearing a blazer, beware of cowl and high necks, which can make your overall look very bulky. Find a neckline that accentuates the shape of the blazer. V-neck, square, and round tend to balance well with the v-shape of the blazer.

For a sleek look, avoid busy necklines, like those with accents or scalloped shapes. Also, avoid lace necklines in a professional setting, as those will give off a casual, sexy look, and neither is appropriate in the courtroom.

If you don’t know where to start in finding your best neckline, this article starts with the best necklines for your body shape. While you don’t need to adhere to these guidelines, they are a good place to start.
