Fashion tips for flattering the neck

Josephine Lalwan is the owner of fashion blog Chic at any age, a fashion resource for women over 50 who want to learn more about style, fashion and what will suit them as mature women.

I recently discovered the series Grace and Frankie on Netflix. It can be little over the top, but quite fun to watch on an evening when there is nothing inspiring on terrestrial TV.

Jane Fonda, who plays the character of Grace, portrays a chic and elegant style in my opinion. At times a little too classic for my taste but overall I like her look, especially the knitwear.

One aspect that particularly got my attention was how she continually wore her shirt collars up. I began to realise that this “trick” gave a flattering frame to the face. You would need to have a reasonable long neck for this to work for you. I do, so it seems to suit me.  I have even started using it for some of my jackets.

Scroll through the gallery above to see some more examples of how Jane pulls of this look.
