Posts with tag v-neck

Lately I've been noticing a new V-neck cut and -- surprising as it to for me to say this -- I'm not sure that I like the look. Apparently, the cooler you are, the deeper you V-neck is cut -- I saw a lot of this last week at SXSW. And while I totally understand and applaud the move to make the V-neck a sexier look for women, I'm equally and oppositely annoyed by the deep cut for men.

Whether or not women think chest hair is sexy is their own business, but out in public, the chest hair thing is not becoming. It's just not. That's why dudes wear shirts in the first place. I'm a huge fan of the old school V-neck, it fits more comfortably and gives you some more ventilation -- it's great. But is anybody really excited about the chest hair look coming back?

For guys, this new cut kind just looks proportionally out of whack to me -- like someone grabbed you by the shirt collar and stretched it out while giving you a serious tongue-lashing. If you're a male t-shirt investor, I'd hold off on the deep V for a while and see if it catches on. You never know, maybe the U-neck will be the next big thing. Then, there you'd be with a dorky super deep V-neck. That would suck.

The dress is called a "shift," as if it were one of those adorable sleeveless black dresses that you would wear with a strand of pearls and elbow-length black gloves.

Ha.

The V-Neck Shift by Norma Kamali Everlast is a sleeveless dress alright, but you certainly wouldn't want to wear it to breakfast at Tiffany's. It's a comfortably casual sweatshirt dress that's perfect for stumbling to brunch at the corner cafe as well as shooting from store to store to do your Holiday shopping. The dress comes in a light heather grey and the indigo shown, features a hood, zip front, tight knit, and falls about 33" to mid-thigh.

Norma Kamali Everlast's V-neck Shift Dress is $225 at Nordstrom.
