No man’s wardrobe is complete without the classic v-neck top. A fashion essential, v-neck jumpers and cardigans were rampant during the runway season with everyone from Burberry Prorsum to Salvatore Ferragamo featuring the winter staple. Suitable for almost every guy, v-tops tend to make shoulders look broader and therefore achieving the illusion of a smaller waist.
Low v-cuts are perfect to layer with shirts and are the ideal, all-purpose fashion solution. And although the basics (gray,black and navy) are the safest bet and never go out of season, try to inject bright colors to add some punch to your winter look.
