Crew collars can feel restrictive and dated. Slicing the ribbing opens up the collarbones and changes how oversized shirts drape across the torso.

The off-the-shoulder slash neckline eliminates the thick neck band while keeping the garment balanced. Fold the shirt symmetrically along the vertical center line, aligning shoulder seams. Cut along the collar seam line, beginning **1.5 inches** away from the neckband on your intended "drop" shoulder and tapering right against the ribbing on the opposite side. Remove the collar band entirely, then stretch the raw opening vigorously. The fabric stretches outward, resting casually over one shoulder.

The choker cutout keeps the upper ribbed ring while removing a triangular wedge underneath. Lay the shirt flat, facing upward. Find the center point beneath the collar band. Cut a small horizontal slit **2.5 inches** below the neckline. Slice two diagonal paths from this lower point upward to the left and right corners of the collar, leaving the top ribbing completely intact. The result is an integrated fabric choker suspended above an airy, geometric plunge.

For a sleeker profile, modify this into a double peek-a-boo shoulder cut. Make two crescent slices directly atop the shoulder seams, four inches wide and one inch deep, framing the collar without destabilizing the neckline.
