momee Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I'm curious what style shirt those of you with some great fashion sense would wear if you were trying to cover up some disfigurement on the upper part of your chest? Not as in a modesty thing, I'm talking much higher than cleavage. I'm not interested in turtle necks but want something with a good bit of coverage like what a turtleneck would provide. Although I don't need my entire neck covered, just from about my collar bones down. I was thinking collared shirts but they're still open at the part I want covered. V necks same way. Normally I just wear a regular collared cotton shirt but I'd like to change up a bit if I can find something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderchica Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Boat necks! http://www.oldnavy.com/products/boatneck-tee.jsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ. Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Cowl neck sweaters. You can also accessorize with scarves. I like to dress casually and am currently loving things in the Gap Fit line, like these: Gap Fit Running Hoodie Long Sleeve Crewneck Long Sleeve T Shirt ETA: I don't claim to have great fashion sense, nor any for that matter!

SJ. Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Crew neck sweaters, you should be able to find many different styles this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Find a high necked camisole and wear it under any necks. The layered look is in right now. Sorry, missed great fashion sense part! Uh... I try to dress modernly (?) when possible, but I'm no fashion plate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anne Rosette 100% Cotton Sleeveless Undershirt (Small, Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CYRHLBI/ Random Google hit for crew neck tank women. If you can sew, there's a easy pattern with an adjustable neckline: https://www.etsy.com/listing/203707578/sis-boom-tortola-womens-tank-top-pattern? My oldest has worn tank tops backwards when the scoop in front was too low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter's Moon Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I second boat necks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaelAldrich Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Look at Jewish modest clothing shops - that's the neckline that we tend to wear. http://www.koshercasual.com/ http://www.headshoulderstoesandbows.com/shells http://www.elzees.com/ Google "tznius shirts" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuzi Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Scarves! They're so much easier to find than high-necked tops, and can be so cute! Lots of stores sell them for relatively cheap, too. Cheaper than the cost of a shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 For summer, one of my daughters wears a lot of high-necked halter tops. She does it because she has pretty arms and shoulders, but most of them do cover that part of her chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer132 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 But WHERE do you find a high necked camisole????? Anne You can get them at Deborah and Co. The sizing is a bit off, so order a size or two larger than you normally would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 in addition to dittoing boatnecks, I recently saw mockneck long sleeved t-shirts - they were a tad higher than collar bone but not tight, kwim? & a bit of a square cut overall. Looked very Audrey Hepburn in black. I can't remember which store though.... Maybe H&M. & here, infinity scarves are everywhere. In a knit like this or made out of a long cotton/rayon woven fabric & tied like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuga Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Another vote for scarves. Always classy, you can even wear them with a tank top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Thanks, YaelAldrich, for the link to KosherCasuals!! They have high necked sleeveless tops in a variety of lengths and colors - Exactly what I was looking for!! Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I used to work with a woman who'd had some type of throat surgery, and she had dozens of gorgeous scarves in various lengths and styles to cover her scar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I was thinking scarves are pretty hot right now. I'd be working that angle! I just bought a couple new ones myself. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I have ended up with a couple of skirts that are that Kosher Casual brand. They're really well made and not expensive (though to note, they did run small). So... I'm assuming their products are generally good quality.
