Cowl neck is a soft, draped neckline in which the fabric falls in free, rounded folds at the front (and sometimes at the back too). The effect is achieved thanks to a bias cut that lets the material stream smoothly and lie in soft waves. Unlike rigid, structured collars, the cowl gives a look softness, elegance and movement. It is widely used in knitted sweaters, blouses, dresses and eveningwear. The cowl neck is especially striking in flowing fabrics (jersey, silk, knit) that hold the drape well. It adds refinement to a look and hides the décolletage zone with soft volume. Cowl neck is a silhouette of soft, draped elegance, in which the free folds of fabric at the neck create a smooth, sensual line, giving a look effortless luxury and refined movement.
