Vneck

V-neck, or V-neckline, is a neckline form shaped like a V at the front. It is created by angled edges that meet at a point below the collarbone, creating a visual V that can elongate the neck. This neckline is widely used in sweaters, T-shirts, dresses, and other knitwear for both men and women. The depth of the V varies from shallow to deep, and the angle can be adjusted to produce a narrow or wide V. Variants include the deep plunge for fashion statements or modest V-necks that resemble a standard crew neck in coverage. Finishing options range from ribbed or bound edges to seamless constructions, and some garments combine a V-neck with collar accents.

Historically, V-necks have appeared in many cultures and were widely adopted in Western fashion during the 20th century as a versatile, casual-to-smart neckline. In contemporary use, the neckline is evaluated for factors such as face shape, chest exposure, and layering ability, with deeper V-necks often paired with open jackets, blazers, or layering tops to adjust coverage.

Care and fabric considerations depend on material. Cotton and blends used in T-shirts are typically machine washable, while wool or fine-knit V-necks require gentler care to maintain shape and prevent shrinking or pilling. Overall, the V-neck remains a staple neckline due to its simple silhouette and adaptable styling.
