Lately, I can’t walk a block in Manhattan without spotting someone who looks like they just floated out of an uptown art gallery opening—glossy hair, minimal makeup, and that impossibly elegant top that drapes just so. You know the one; it’s not quite a turtleneck, not quite a blouse, but something in between. Perhaps it’s best described as a scarf or cape-style neckline that cascades effortlessly and whispers “old money” with every fold.
To get the look of the scarf neckline, you don’t necessarily need a scarf jacket or cape top—you can simply drape an elegant-looking scarf across your chest and shoulders to get the same vibe.
