Pääntietyyli

Pääntietyyli refers to a Finnish fashion term describing a particular way of styling the neckline of a garment. It is commonly associated with knitwear, particularly sweaters and cardigans, though it can also be found in other clothing types. The style is characterized by a relatively high, close-fitting neckline that often sits just below the chin or covers the base of the neck. It differs from a crew neck by being more fitted and less voluminous, and from a turtleneck by not folding over or extending significantly up the neck.

This style often creates a clean and minimalist silhouette. It can be achieved through various knitting techniques, such as ribbing or a simple jersey knit, which contribute to the garment's stretch and ability to conform to the neck. Pääntietyyli is considered a classic and versatile option, suitable for both casual and more formal occasions depending on the fabric and overall garment design. It can be worn on its own or as a layering piece under jackets or other outerwear. The term emphasizes the specific shape and fit around the neck area as a defining characteristic of the garment's aesthetic.
