I love a shawl neck – the kind of collar which creates a sort möbius strip around your neckline. It’s like a less bulky hood and I find it very pleasing on the eye.
Vane’s latest collection contains a number of shawl necks, including this black and white striped number. Its modelled in a street style on their website but it would work equally well in a sort of smart-casual style-y, with some nice straight-legged black trousers. Perfect work wear for those of use who need to look professional but not straight-laced.
