From Turtlenecks to Coats: High Necks Dominate FW Collections

This season’s fall/winter fashion trend spotlights high-neck silhouettes across knitwear, jackets, and coats. Major houses like Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, and Victoria Beckham pushed collars up to the jawline, favoring clean lines and strong silhouettes over embellishment. Historically associated with authority and modesty—from Elizabeth I’s ruffs to Victorian high-neck dresses—high necks have evolved into a modern ‘armor’ that conveys self-protection and inner strength. Designers explored variations: layered panels, hybrid coat-down constructions (e.g., sacai), oversized sculptural collars (e.g., Junya Watanabe), and padded high-neck scarves, all reinforcing a protective, confident look. The trend reflects both aesthetic minimalism and a psychological comfort after pandemic masking, suggesting this winter people will increasingly wear collars turned up as a small but visible form of defense and poise.
