Put Aside That Crewneck—*This* Is the Neckline That Everyone Is Choosing Instead

Put Aside That Crewneck—*This* Is the Neckline That Everyone Is Choosing Instead

      There are a few statements that, five years ago, I never would have imagined myself saying, one of which is "V-necks are back." Yet, here I am announcing that this divisive neckline, which characterized my clothing choices during the late 2000s and early 2010s, is, surprisingly, making a strong comeback in my wardrobe and in the realm of fashion overall. The trend cycle is indeed full of surprises.

      After a prolonged period dominated by crewnecks, boatnecks, and scoop necks, the V-neck has quietly emerged from its long hibernation, appearing in a variety of styles such as T-shirts, T-shirt dresses, sweaters, tank tops, and more. Brands like Khaite, Toteme, Proenza Schouler, Tibi, and Bite Studios—all known for their luxurious takes on classic basics—are fully embracing this neckline, alongside more budget-friendly options like Reformation, Madewell, and COS. Tees that once featured a standard crewneck are now front-dipping to create a sharp V-shape, as are cashmere sweaters and flowing dresses.

      All evidence suggests that V-neck tops and dresses will be the standout trend among basics for the fall of 2025. To help you prepare for this trend revival, I've compiled a comprehensive guide to integrating this neckline into your wardrobe. For styling ideas and shopping recommendations, keep reading.
