V-necks

Dipping neckline shirts

V-necks are garments—typically shirts, sweaters, or dresses—with necklines that form a V shape pointing downward at the chest.

The cut can range from modest to plunging: She prefers V-necks because they're more flattering than crew necks.

The term works as noun or adjective: a V-neck sweater, I bought three V-necks.
