Usage Note
Cuello refers both to the anatomical neck and to a garment's collar or neckline. Context distinguishes the two: me duele el cuello (my neck hurts) vs el cuello de la camisa (the shirt collar). The phrase hasta el cuello ('up to the neck') means being overwhelmed or deeply involved in something.
Examples
"Lleva una bufanda alrededor del cuello."
Natural Translation
She is wearing a scarf around her neck.
