A boatneck is a type of neckline in both men and women’s wear. Initially, the boatneck, also called the bateau neck, was designed for sailors. The wide slit made it easy to change a shirt quickly, since it slips easily over the head. This can be advantageous when clothing gets wet and needs to be changed in a hurry.
