Today’s focus is an oft-maligned and misunderstood item: the funnel neck. Give it a chance, darlings! Exaggerated necklines were ever-so-prevalent on the runways, ranging from outlandish (Margiela) to demure (Calvin Klein). Think about a cowl or draped turtleneck this season; maybe even snap up a funnel-neck coat!On the runways: Photos via style.com except where noted.

Oh I love a funnel neck and am coveting Marc Jacobs dress!
I'm really loving this look, particularly the Berardi piece!
i do think the funnel neck is an interesting shape, but i'm not sure if they would work on me as i have broad shoulders. it might make them look huge!!
I like the look of the funnel neck very much, but if I try to wear something with a neck such as, if the neck is really tight, I can never stand it for long, it bothers me to have stuff around my neck like that, but I wish it didn't! ;)

Funnel neck can be really elegant if it's not exaggerated.
The zebra stripes are fantastic!
I don't feel good in a funnel neck. I like it on others. Actually I love it on others. So would you all start wearing this fun(nel) look!
so couture! i personally have claustrophobia issues when it comes to things around my neck though lol
Muchas gracias! Y a nosotras nuestras tu blog, seguimos siempre tus actualizaciones.
xo.
Hi there-I prefer the cowl necks you've shown, not too overkeen on the structured funnels for me though! Have a lovely weekend!
Haha I already am! I'm actually wearing a purple sweater-dress with a cowl neck and a tie at the waist which looks very similar to the Stella McCartney number you featured--minus the slight puff in the sleeves, though. Great post, as always.
One of my favorite trends! I feel it's like an accesory included in the dress, swetear or coat.
Besitos desde el frío bostoniano!

I think this is a great detail if not exagerated.
Thanks for all the pictures you showed, beauty.
xoxo
Many of these are indeed fun and chic!
i like the funnel neck!

:)
I'm gonna die over than camel fur coat! delish
For some reason, to me, funnel necks are the epitome of chic and cool. The way they frame your face is so flattering! These are all gorgeous!
I love the idea of a funnel neck coat! :)
I love the funnel neck - and its more conservative sister the cow!

Great trend, and great post. Love J. Mendel... :)

I love the MJ and Moschino looks--so timeless!
i adore this look, and love the J. Mendel and Marc jacobs, but bow to the master, Margiela! That shit is crazy fabulous.
beautiful pics even though i'm not a huge fan of the cowl-neck! xx
That herringbone sweater is awesome!
I always loved funnel neck. Cozy and cute. Great for cooler months.
I would love to be able to wear this look, i have tried it a hundred times but I think it is my combo of shoulders and neck length. Doesn't work. Love your pics..wish I could wear the Berardi. Carla
