7. Key-Hole Neckline

Largely seen in evening gowns, it is where the diagonal lines meet in front of the neck below the collar bone to form a keyhole.

8.Mandarin collar necklines

Mandarin collar necklines are the closest match to a collar neckline of salwar suit. A closed neckline, mandarin collars need no accessories to complete the look. You can wear it with a palazzo or even a pencil pant. It goes well with a dupatta, giving an effortlessly classic look.
