crew neck

クルーネック

A type of shirt, sweater, dress, or other top with a round, close-fitting neckline. The crew neck gets its name from its association with rowing teams and other athletic crews who originally wore this style of shirt.

Characteristics:

  • Shape: The defining feature of a crew neck is its round, circular neckline. It does not have a collar and is typically higher than other necklines, such as a V-neck or scoop neck.
  • Fit: The neckline sits snugly around the base of the neck without any plunging or revealing cuts.
