Yes, this is me. I can do a v-neck if it's a bit oversized with a very relaxed shoulder (so it is essentially a v-shaped scoop neck) but it's still not the most flattering. But crewnecks are also tough unless they are fitted.

Basically t-shirts are kind of challenging for me because most of them either make me look like a 12 year old boy or emphasize how small my boobs are.

I look best in crewnecks. Fitter. Shapelier.

I also look good in boat neck with collar bone and neckline showing off.

I also don’t like low v necks on older women. Many have a lot of lines or sun damage or sun spots.

My décolleté isn’t any of that, but at a certain age low necklines are attractive.

We sound like we are built the same so do you find boatnecks aren’t flattering for you? They hide all my best features.

I have several high crewneck tanks with cut-away shoulders and that look is very on trend right now. The high crew neck looks good because of the contrast with the very bare shoulder.

For fall, mock necks are still in, especially in sweaters or sweatshirts.

Crewnecks are actually pretty in but don't look amazing on most people. But again, depends on the item. I look bad in a crew neck t-shirt unless it's very fitted (just overwhelms me). But a lightweight sweater or cardigan with a crewneck looks nice on me as long as it's a little bit fitted. The drape of the sweater keeps it from looking too bulky.

V-necks are never really out of fashion.

If you have a long neck and/or face (as I do) boat necks are great because they break up that long line from your forehead to your chest. Whereas v-necks on this body type can exaggerate that line and make you look kind of gawky.

Which you don't have to think about buying off the rack, there will times when a given neckline becomes prevalent, but the designer has taken care of the rest. I assume OP isn't asking how to alter her current shirts, just what to look for when buying.

Disagree, because body type and personal style make a difference. There are many times when I like the fit of everything in a garment except the neckline -- it's too low, or it gapes, or it feels too high. Your body type, and particularly your chest, shoulders, and the size of your head, dictate what necklines you should wear. Not trends. And most necklines (v-neck, crewneck, boatneck, scoop) are available every season, with slight tweaks.
