Another style of neck opening that we have to work with and we have Coco herself to thank,
is the Chanel style neck opening, the round neck. The reason it's called this is because
that is iconically one of Chanel's designs and one thing that was very, very, it was
very obvious in a lot of Coco Chanel herself original style of stuff and that's why it's
attributed to her. We have a neck opening and typically this would be on a little collarless
suit jacket type thing if we're going with the whole Chanel frame of reference. You have
your collared part which doesn't fold over, it's just a rounded neck line and it differentiates
itself being a collar type cardigan look and then the buttons have their button holes are
going vertically as opposed to horizontally. That's what makes this the Chanel style round
neck.
