High-necked for Dummies

Well hey there kiddo! I see you're curious about the word "high-necked". Don't worry, I'm here to help you understand it. So, "high-necked" is a word we use to talk about clothes, specifically about the neckline of certain garments. Now, let me explain it in the simplest way possible for you.

Imagine you're wearing a t-shirt, right? Well, the neckline is the part around your neck, where the t-shirt starts. Now, when we say something is "high-necked", it means that the neckline is higher up on your neck. Kind of like when you wear a turtleneck sweater, the neck part covers a big area of your neck, right? That's what a high-necked shirt would be like. It's like a turtleneck, covering more of your neck than usual.

Let's take an example. Have you seen those dresses that have collars which come up and cover most of the neck? That's a high-necked dress! It's called high-necked because the collar goes higher up on the neck. And you know what? It doesn't only apply to dresses, it could also be used to describe shirts or blouses which have a collar or a neckline that covers a lot of your neck.

Think about it this way, when you wear a hat, it covers your head, right? Well, a high-necked garment is like a hat for your neck, it covers more of it, keeping it warmer and making a fashion statement at the same time!

Now, just to clarify, "high-necked" can also be used to describe animals, like horses. You know how some horses have a lot of hair on their necks that reaches up high, almost like a fancy collar? That's what we mean when we say a horse is high-necked. It's like they're wearing a cool necklace made of hair!

So, in a nutshell, "high-necked" means that something, like clothes or even animals, has a neckline or an area around the neck that goes up higher than usual. It's like a turtleneck for your neck or a fancy hair necklace for a horse!
