The v neck gets a bad reputation and most of it is deserved. Too deep and it looks like you borrowed it from a soap opera villain. Too shallow and you might as well have saved yourself the trouble and bought a crew. The version that actually works sits at a depth that opens the neckline without turning into a statement, and it works because it adds a small amount of intention to what is otherwise the most basic garment in a man’s wardrobe. That matters when you’re wearing it with chinos or under an open shirt or on its own on a warm day when you want to look like you gave it some thought. We’ve been looking specifically for v necks where the depth is right, the fabric has enough weight to hang properly, and the fit through the body doesn’t go baggy after three washes. These are the ones that justify the whole category.
