To V or not to V: Male Edition

As the weather is warming up you may be wondering what to do when you want to go casual but look like you're trying. The v-neck is the perfect solution for this dilemma. Plain crew neck tees read undershirt every time; now sometimes this is cute, other times it’s just not quite right. The V-neck gives you the versatility to dress it up and dress it down. Worn correctly you will look sexy, fly and fashionable.

The Obstacles
1. Chest Hair: I’m not saying I need you to shave I’m just saying if you have a whole lot going on down there then this look might not be for you. I don’t need you putting all your business on Front Street. 1. Heat+Sweat+Exposed Body Hair=EW! 2. Even chest hair aficionados don’t condone overly exposed chest hair so unless you’re trying to be the next Capo dei Capi cover it up or get rid of it.

2. Low, Low down: The super low v-neck gets inappropriate after a certain point. 1. It reads homosexual, if that’s what you’re going for then keep on truckin’ because you’re probably working that tee OUT! (I swear I’ve never see a gay man not work a v-neck) but if you’re checking for the ladies then keep it classy, we don’t want to see ALL your man cleavage unless you’re shirtless or doing the wife beater sexual chocolate thing. 2. See Chest Hair.

3. Over-Styled: Please, please keep it simple, this is a classic and crisp look. Neon green with stars and stripes and gold and studs may not be the best option. Remember the detail is all in the neckline, everything else is just distracting.
