Ways to Wear it: Basic White V-Neck

Simple and affordable, an uprising popular trend. Basic white v-necks are an essential to any wardrobe, mens and ladies. Here are some quick tips and ideas on how to wear a basic white v-neck.

Men:

• Jeans: A great way to accessorize a basic white v-neck with a casual spin is to pair it off with jeans. Whether they are skinnies, straight-cut, boot-cut, OR light-washed, dark-washed or black, jeans will help you stay casually fashionable.
• Dress pants: Ever wonder what to wear on a semi-formal occasion? Try a clean, ironed, basic white v-neck tucked into dress pants, finished off with a plain black dress-belt and dress shoes! This way you suit the occasion while looking fashionably organized.
• Over-piece: With winter coming up, wearing a white v-neck may not be ideal. However, v-necks look amazing underneath cardigans, hoodies, western-styled shirts (e.g. plaid button-ups), dress shirts or pull-overs! This gives you the option of buttoning, or zipping up your over-piece, so change it up! Don’t worry about the colour of the over-piece! White basically goes with everything.
• Accessories: Many guys do not wear accessories. But wearing a basic chain-necklace, necklace made of braided string, thick bracelet, large metal ring or watch (preferably not all of these at once!) will help dress up the the outfit. If not, wear it plain! Don’t worry about accessories if it’s “not your thing.”

Further doubts? Don’t worry! V-necks for men have been popular for about three years so far, so it’s basically creeping its way into the norm of the daily fashion around us. Try going for one with a smaller “v,” nothing too deep, especially for your own comfort. You’ll see how well basic white v-necks go with everything! And if you don’t like white? Try any color! V-necks are popular everywhere.

Ladies:

• Jeans: Jeans are a great way to stay comfortable while wearing a basic white v-neck. The wash and cut doesn’t matter! You can be casual and fashionable.
• Dressy: Basic white v-necks are extremely versatile. They can easily be worn tucked into any skirt, whether it is a plain black pencil skirt or pleated floral skirt.  They can also look great not tucked in, and simply placed over. However, if you want to maximize your trendy potential then I suggest tucking it in!
• Boyfriend fit: Try getting a basic white v-neck that’s 2 sizes too big! This is equally as versatile, and trendy and can also be worn with anything mentioned above. With a baggy white v-neck you can even wear them with leggings! You can always try to belt the v-neck with either a loose one that hangs by the hips, or one that sinches at the waist. And if you can’t find one in the ladies section big enough, dare to go into the mens section to pick one up!
• Over-piece: Basic white v-necks look good with any type of over-piece! That includes western-styled shirts, blazers, cardigans, pull-overs, and hoodies.
• Accessories: Don’t be afraid to wear 15 different bangles on your wrist, or have four different necklaces layered together! A basic white v-neck is a plain canvas, so it’s okay to go overboard with accessories! But if that’s not comfortable then you can always go simple, wear your favourite necklace, ring or bracelet to brighten the look!

V-necks for ladies are more common, but I know many people are still not used to them! If you’re nervous about the chest area, make sure you wear a tank top or bandeau underneath. You can explore different colours to wear underneath which will give your v-neck a nice undertone. And if you are still nervous, try to find one that has a small “v”. Also try to explore different colors if you don’t enjoy wearing the color white. There are many different ways to wear a basic white v-neck, so explore your options!
