Sweetheart Necklines for Summer...

One of my all time favorite necklines is the sweetheart neckline, and if you've never tried one, then it's time you did!  It leaves just enough to the imagination, while showing off your decolletage like nothing else.  Because it gives structure and shape to your chest, both the well endowed and the less so, so feel empowered in it.  And it looks great paired with a top knot, as it also does much to show off the gentle slope of the female shoulder.  Try it this season and see how great it will look and feel.

But don't take my word for it, see for yourself some of the runway looks to inspire your next shopping trip!


The fit of this dress has a classic feel and that old Hollywood glamour, which is a favorite look of Zac Posen.   Here he gives us a modern print to pair with the sweetheart.





Jenny Packham is always glamorous and feminine.  I could see this dress having multiple uses in a girl's wardrobe.  From outdoor summer cocktail parties to an impromptu wedding dress!





Margiela is the king of modern, borderline too abstract to wear, artistry.  Thankfully, this collection included a totally modern iteration of the sweetheart by giving it a deep V.





Not for the faint of heart, and definitely for the fit of body, this Balenciaga look is modern and sexy.





This dress is cute and fresh and perfect for those summer day's.  And this is the perfect color for the season too - Monaco Blue which was Pantone's pick for the season!  So embrace two trends in one with this fab dress!




Pick up a strapless sweetheart number for that cocktail party or just a fun night out.  All eyes will be on you!





White eyelet is perfect for the American summer, and available everywhere at great prices.  This little sweetheart is from Forever 21 and costs just $29.80!





This top is simply gorgeous, and I can't discount the use of the sheer trend.  The solid color allows texture elements to shine without being overwhelming.




You know my obsession with anything peplum, and this is no exception!  The peplum creates shape, and the sweetheart neckline lends itself to the hourglass curves we love.  The small print draws the eye inward, creating a slenderizing effect.  Love it!
