Best Hairstyles to Go with a High Collar Dress

 Favorite

Your wedding day hairdo is as important for an accomplished bridal look as the bridal dress itself. Both of these elements should accentuate each other’s worth and style. There is an array of hairstyles for brides. You can go with up, down, half up, half down, curly, or straight locks. Instead of following the trends blindly, opt for wedding day hair that goes well with your outfit (especially neckline) and is comfortable enough to wear the whole day long. Hairstyles that go with a high collar dress must be chosen carefully.

Hairstyles That Go with High Collar Dress

A high collar dress features an elongated silhouette and tends to focus your neck and neckline, with various eye-catching elements like lacy or sheer detailing, cut-in shoulders, and so on. Here we have narrowed down a few glamorous hairstyles to accent a wedding dress with a high neckline.

Whatever hairstyle you choose, it should be away from your neck and shoulders. You could wear your locks high, in a high bun close to the crown of your head, or tied low, at the nape of the neck (especially with sheer, delicate lacy gowns). Do not go any lower because it will block the collar details of your precious dress. Some hairstyles to try with a high collar dress may include:

  • Low Chignon for a both traditional and casual look

  • Tight ponytail for a fashion-forward bride

  • High buns for a show-stopping look (can be tried either with braids or a ballerina bun).

Check out the recommended styles below:
