I tried a couple of different styles last week. The knit versions feel like wearing a turtleneck. So if you are ok with that, you should be right. I also tried top no 1 in the finds. It is a woven. It is comfortable. The neck band sits just below my neck. But it does have buttons at the back that are a little tricky to do up. I really like the style. It feels fresh. lyn67 on "This V neck?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-v-neck#post-1776732 Fri, 10 Feb 2017 11:32:18 +0000 lyn67 1776732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I see it in the EU, too, but not really a fan for myself(thus, not yet tried on personally)-but am  afraid the choker band will be too constricting on the neck. I don't have a thick neck, but still...(?)  Lyn D. on "This V neck?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-v-neck#post-1776491 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 20:46:56 +0000 Lyn D. 1776491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I hadn't noticed this neckline but will notice it now! My daughters are enjoying wearing choker necklaces, so this might be a version I could try. unfrumped on "This V neck?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-v-neck#post-1775774 Wed, 08 Feb 2017 00:53:19 +0000 unfrumped 1775774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like #1.

Noooo. I don't want asymmetric to leave. Ever :) Suz, the smaller cut out style would be a good option for you too. Thanks everyone for the input and the kind words. I am taking this is as a thumbs up subject to comfort issues and gaping. I don't think gaping will be a problem with the version that I favour. It will be interesting to see whether this style makes itself known in the northern hemisphere this summer. It does seem to be trending here. Suz on "This V neck?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-v-neck#post-1775627 Tue, 07 Feb 2017 18:11:03 +0000 Suz 1775627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love this -- at least your custom find version. Not the blue one as much. I'd wear your Find in a hot second, and it would look stunning on you!  Dana on "This V neck?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-v-neck#post-1775611 Tue, 07 Feb 2017 17:21:38 +0000 Dana 1775611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm not on the forum much, but I love your outfits and can totally see you in this style! I love the blue one. I'm an IT, so I love v-necks--since the neckline is quite open, I am hoping the choker won't negate the advantages of the V. I could really use this blouse!  texstyle on "This V neck?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-v-neck#post-1775545 Tue, 07 Feb 2017 14:45:04 +0000 texstyle 1775545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think this and similar cutout neck styles are really gaining momentum. Kind of taking over where asymmetric left off? I like the sleeveless version especially and agree it kind of subs for a necklace. Bijou on "This V neck?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-v-neck#post-1775505 Tue, 07 Feb 2017 12:12:04 +0000 Bijou 1775505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Brooklyn I have few of the v-neck body descriptors (I have a moderate neck, not a long neck) and so only shallow v-necks, collared v-necks or this particular one speak to me. I also love this look, but as a girl of the 90's, I do like chokers very much! As you have model proportions, I think most, if not all looks would work on you. So if this is a look you like, I say go for it!  rachylou on "This V neck?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-v-neck#post-1775448 Tue, 07 Feb 2017 07:22:39 +0000 rachylou 1775448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I can see you in it and I like it. I had a sweater kind of like this - well the cross piece was really a tie. One of my go-to's when I had it. Brooklyn on "This V neck?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-v-neck#post-1775446 Tue, 07 Feb 2017 07:16:43 +0000 Brooklyn 1775446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, I agree that how it feels around the neck is important. I just tried on one that had a very deep V. It was comfortable but perhaps not work appropriate. It did make me feel like Faye Dunaway in The Towering Inferno, so that's a plus. JAileen on "This V neck?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-v-neck#post-1775383 Tue, 07 Feb 2017 02:34:54 +0000 JAileen 1775383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the one on the left, but would have to see it on to know if it's too low. The one on the right looks like it's a choker all right! It looks too tight or too high on the neck. I'm not sure. cindysmith on "This V neck?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-v-neck#post-1775378 Tue, 07 Feb 2017 02:26:02 +0000 cindysmith 1775378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ While I don't know that I could wear it (weird emotional issue with things being around my neck too snugly/closely), I think those are pretty good and I would enjoy seeing them on ladies Brooklyn on "This V neck?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-v-neck#post-1775337 Tue, 07 Feb 2017 00:40:20 +0000 Brooklyn 1775337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ryce, it needs a name! The only descriptions I have seen describe it as V neck with neck band. Very unglamorous title for a glam neckline.  Anonymous on "This V neck?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-v-neck#post-1775333 Tue, 07 Feb 2017 00:26:33 +0000 Anonymous 1775333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Does this style have a name?  I have two tops like this - both too formal for my actual life (as opposed to my fantasy life of art gallery openings and fancy cocktail parties!).  They were purchased solely because I found the neckline to be so amazingly flattering.   I hope they will be everywhere here in the US soon - I'd happily buy a dozen!

I think a knit version would be less likely to gape. The bigger the V, the bigger the gape potential! Sal on "This V neck?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-v-neck#post-1775316 Mon, 06 Feb 2017 23:38:30 +0000 Sal 1775316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I had a knit top with this neckline about nine-ten years ago.  I liked it but it depends how the necktie sits. I do like a vee neck as long as they are not too gapey but I like this variation on it too, can see you in the blouse!! jill58 on "This V neck?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-v-neck#post-1775313 Mon, 06 Feb 2017 23:34:53 +0000 jill58 1775313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the patterned one with the small cutout--the blue one, less.  Brooklyn on "This V neck?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-v-neck#post-1775309 Mon, 06 Feb 2017 23:24:43 +0000 Brooklyn 1775309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Excellent news Angie, as I am considering taking the plunge, so to speak Jenn on "This V neck?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-v-neck#post-1775308 Mon, 06 Feb 2017 23:22:54 +0000 Jenn 1775308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it.

It's a choker effect. I think it would be easier to wear than a choker. Is it a 70's look? I also remember cut outs being popular in the late 80s/early 90s. Anonymous on "This V neck?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-v-neck#post-1775302 Mon, 06 Feb 2017 23:11:33 +0000 Anonymous 1775302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm on the fence for myself - I haven't tried one on, but leaning toward liking it. I could see this being flattering for people. It looks fresh. I went through a choker phase way back when, but haven't tried on the style in a long time. This seems to incorporate the choker into the top. Brooklyn on "This V neck?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-v-neck#post-1775300 Mon, 06 Feb 2017 23:09:33 +0000 Brooklyn 1775300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am seeing this type of V neck everywhere here in Australia this summer. It features a V neckline with a neck band. I noticed a similar version in Angie's finds. I am personally not a big wearer of V necks (I don't fit most of the body descriptors mentioned in Angie's post) but I feel this particular version is one I could wear because of the neck band and the small V cut out. I think it is pretty and a bit retro. For true lovers of V necks, you can also get versions that have a deeper and larger "V" cut out. What do people think of it? ETA: Added the version in Angie's finds.
