Scoop neckline

A scoop neckline is a rounded neckline on a garment[1] which is conspicuously lower in the front than in the back. Typically, this style of neckline is associated with skin-baring clothing, including undergarments and activewear.

Other applications of this neckline include warm-weather apparel, evening wear, such as evening gowns or cocktail dresses, and as a year-round stylistic detail which allows for the display of necklaces and décolletage. Most often worn by women and girls, a scoop neckline may have a non-functional collar or decorative trim as an accent, drawing attention to the exposed area.
