Etymology

The term 'neckline' emerged in the early 20th century, combining the word 'neck' with 'line' to describe the outline of the neckline on garments. The word 'neck' derives from Old English 'necca,' which has roots in Proto-Germanic and Proto-Indo-European languages, relating to the part of the body that connects the head to the torso. In contrast, 'line' stems from Latin 'linea,' meaning string or cord, denoting a linear element in design. As fashion evolved, the concept of neckline began to encompass various styles, reflecting trends and cultural shifts. Designers began experimenting with different neck shapes and styles in the mid-20th century, leading to a greater diversity in neckline options in contemporary fashion.
