The 30 Best V-Neck T-Shirts to Wear on Their Own (or Under a Button-Up)
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
Folks, I know what you're thinking: Are V-necks even cool anymore? Like, there was definitely a time in the early to mid 2000s where they were—but somewhere along the way, they got associated with Jersey Shore-tanned guys and dudes with too much hair gel and too little self-awareness.
In the comebacks of all comebacks, though, the V-neck is back. It's proved itself to be a timeless rendition of the classic T-shirt, one that adds a little more flair, intention, and dimension to your outfit. When you replace your crewneck with a V-neck, it can work. Really!
Fashion is indeed a fickle temptress, but she ain't that fickle. For the most part, a classic crewneck will always be the go-to choice for layering and wearing solo, but if you're ready to level up, rocking a V-neck as an undershirt is a solid way to get your fix. In that spirit, I rounded up a few of the best V-neck undershirts available now, so you can live out your own far-fetched fantasies without baring any visible chest at all. I also tossed in a few options to wear on their own, in case you're feeling like going your own way. And hey, if that's the case, more power to you.
