Hold the Tees, Fashion Girls Are Wearing This Chic Silhouette Instead

It's been a year since the humble V-neck found its way back into the fashion discourse. Much to the surprise—and perhaps dismay—of millennials who embraced the silhouette in the 2010s, the neckline has received a high-style refresh courtesy of designers like Prada and Khaite, which have championed V-neck sweaters, dresses, and T-shirts. And this summer, V-neck tank tops have earned a spot in the wardrobes of fashion's coolest dressers—giving classic tees some competition.

I, for one, have caught the V-neck fever. Though I haven't worn the silhouette since high school, I'm officially declaring it a V-neck tank top summer—and happily jumping on board. It may not be the most revolutionary trend on the market, but the silhouette feels refreshingly different after seasons of scoop necks reigning supreme. Better yet, the look is endlessly versatile—wear a V-neck tank top with denim cutoffs, a breezy midi skirt, and everything in between. Ahead, six outfits that might just convert you to Team V-neck.

V-Neck Tank + Slouchy Jeans

A ribbed tank top and low-rise slouchy denim have become the de facto uniform of It girls. This summer, switch up the formula a bit with a V-neck tank, which adds just the right amount of subtle intrigue.

V-Neck Tank + Asymmetric Skirt

Don't underestimate the power of an all-white summer outfit. Though it may be a risky choice for those prone to spills, a V-neck tank paired with an asymmetrical midi skirt is effortlessly chic. (Even better if you incorporate touches of metallic gold throughout the ensemble.)

V-Neck Tank + Relaxed Trousers

Minimalist dressers, this one's for you. Perhaps you've worn your go-to scoop-neck tank ad nauseam over the years. If so, consider giving it a break in favor of a V-neck silhouette. I have a sneaking suspicion you'll be reaching for the shirt with relaxed trousers all summer long.

V-Neck Tank + Sequin Skirt

No need to reserve your sparkly miniskirt for special occasions. A basic white V-neck tank dresses it down just enough for a casual Friday night out. From there, round out the look with knee-high leather boots and a studded bag.
