Ode to the V-Neck

Why is it that a pattern as simple as a v-neck t-shirt can make a man look so good?
Damn.

Let me revise that statement.

SOME men. The funny part of this type of shirt is that while some man look dashing, others look like huge guido creeps,(sorry Jersey Shore)like these guys.

 Or this guy.

 While the v-neck has been around forever, most men associate the plunging v-neck as too feminine-which, when they are worn like this, kind of are.

The key to a good v-neck on a man starts with his build, style, the style and cut of the v-neck itself.
When done right, even low v-necks can look extremely masculine.Its all about how you wear it.


V-Neck Reference Chart
1. The high v.-most classic. Most conservative. Looks best when its white, suits an older or more conservative guy. Makes less buff guys look buffier and hides hairyness:) Its perfect, but not recommended for really buff or really slim boys, as it makes your build even slimmer or bulky. Opt for a medium v.
2.The medium v. Somewhere in the middle. Between runway and conservative. Shows off some chest, so well pretty collar bones and pecs make this style look gorgeous. If you're sporting a tuft...opt for a high v....no one wants to see that. The medium v looks best in white or darker colours, it also lends itself best to designs. 
3.The deep v. Popularized most recently by American apparel, I like this best on slim guys in plain colours and paired with some wicked skinny slacks or a cardi:) Not so much fir really buff or heavier guys as you look like a douchebag showoff or like you have manboobs...jus sayin. 
When done right, sits super cute and sexy. 


 Yay! And like all good fashion ideas for boys, we gotta get in on it too!
 
SO rock the v-love it, live in it. I know I do. All you need is a pair of jeans and some sperrys and BAM you're somewhat fashionable.
I'm out.
