Spring Trend: V-Neck Sweaters

V-neck sweaters are perfect separate staples for men, and now that they’re back, they’ll be making an appearance in your wardrobe soon. Tons of colors, lots of silhouettes, and a healthy selection of designers make v-necks the trend for Spring 2007.

Worn with tight trousers or slim jeans, v-neck sweaters are coming back in light solids and striped versions. Deep v-necks add a more modern effect to some sweaters, while other v-necks are constructed in innovative, hi-tech fabrics for an even more updated look. For the trendiest style this season, try a daringly deep v-neck sweater in gray to match with new gray flannel suits from designers like Patrik Ervell and Burberry.
