Put Aside That Crewneck—*This* Is the Neckline That Everyone Everywhere Is Donning Instead.
There are certain statements I would have never made just five years ago, one of which is "V-necks are making a comeback." Yet here I am, declaring that the neckline which once defined my fashion choices in the late 2000s and early 2010s is unexpectedly re-emerging in both my closet and the broader fashion world. The trend cycle is indeed full of surprises. After a prolonged period dominated by crewnecks, boatnecks, and scoop necks, the V-neck has resurfaced, appearing in T-shirts, T-shirt dresses, sweaters, tank tops, and more. High-end brands like Khaite, Toteme, Proenza Schouler, Tibi, and Bite Studios, which focus on luxurious takes on classic basics, are fully embracing this neckline, as are budget-friendly retailers like Reformation, Madewell, and COS. Boxy tees that previously boasted a standard crewneck are now featuring a pointed V-neck style, along with cashmere sweaters and flowing dresses. All indications suggest that V-neck tops and dresses will be the standout style of the basics category for fall 2025. To help you ease this transition, I've put together a comprehensive guide for reintegrating this neckline into your wardrobe. For styling ideas and shopping recommendations, continue reading.
