A V neckline does two things simultaneously. It draws the eye vertically to elongate the neck. And it reveals the collarbone not the cleavage, which is a sexier look in our book.
It works on a short neck. A long neck. A fuller bust. Narrow shoulders. Broad shoulders. A round face. A strong jaw. Essentially, if you have a neck - and statistically most of you do - a V neckline is on your side.
A V neck is, in the most literal sense, architecture. A line that makes everything around it look more considered.
In The Summer House we put it on linen. On silk. On needlecord. On embroidered cotton. On jackets that don’t need a collar because they have better ideas. On round necks that need an illusion of a V to make them feel better about themselves.
