How to Wear a V-Neck

People tend to have a love/hate relationship with V necks. I personally love them. They help pull the look together and give your outfit a bit of visual interest compared to a simple crew neck. Below are a few outfit ideas for both women + men!

Casual

A plain V neck shirt with a pair of jeans and a cardigan is my go-to on the weekends. Pair it with a pair of sunglasses for that effortless cool girl vibe.

For a more vibrant take on the look above pair a simple V neck with a bold lip and bold shoes. To make it look cohesive, carry a clutch with bold colors in it. It’s still casual but shows a bit more personality instead of the chill “just rolled out of bed” look.

A v neck t-shirt should be a staple in any guys closet. Try a dark grey or a deep blue to keep it from looking like an undershirt. If you do want to go with a white one, make sure it is made of a quality fabric that’s thick enough to not be see through. Again, pair with jeans for a chill weekend look.

If you want to dress it up slightly, adding a cardigan will be perfect. For men, a cardigan with a collar will keep it from looking boring.

Polished Casual

I wasn’t sure what to categorize this as but I think you get the point. This is for when you want to look pulled together but still be comfortable in what you’re wearing. Women can use layering to help get this look. keeping the bottom simple will prevent your outfit from looking like you got dressed in the dark.

Layer will also help in men’s outfits too but especially if it’s a dressier shirt that you’re putting underneath. Even with edgier boots the look still looks like it belongs together.

Dressy

Now is the time when we start to get fancy. Adding the right pair of shoes will really help dress up a V neck even if the top itself isn’t the dressiest style. Adding a pair of white skinny jeans, heels and a clutch is a great option with a neutral colored sweater. If you make it an over sized one it adds a great contrast to the skinny jeans.

For men, stick with the examples from before but use darker colors. This will make all the difference.
