The Angular Face
The
angular face presents a case where the shape of the face needs its
balance created by reinforcing “curved lines”. These can come in a
variety of neckline styles, such as the Scoop Neck, Sabrina, Sweetheart
and Cowl Neck styles. These provide both sweeping curves as well as a
softer line of focus for the eye which can help to balance the sharp
features of the Angular face shape.
The In-Betweens
There
are, of course, other face shapes that we deal with when we look to cut
the hair into varying styles. However, for the purpose of selecting
neckline styles, these other face shapes fall into the above
categories. For example, the triangle, inverted triangle and diamond
shape face all fall under the Angular Face category, as do those
individuals with a Square Face.
The Universal Looks
Those
persons with an Oval face shape, in much the same way they approach
hairstyles, can basically wear most any neckline style with ease. There
are also certain looks that these individuals can pull off that others
may need to avoid. These are styles such as halter tops, tube tops, and
crew neck style shirts and sweaters. The exceptions to
this come when the individual has other factors that should be
considered. For example, a person with an oval shaped face, but a
heavier body shape should keep in mind that certain neckline styles are
more suited to flattering their figure (V-necks, shirt collar styles,
etc.) while others will only emphasize their girth (boat necks, Sabrina
necklines, Portrait necklines, etc.)
