I have never been a real fan of t-shirts, but lately I’ve found myself pulling out every novelty top I own, since I don’t really have to dress up when I’m cleaning out a closet or pulling weeds in the garden.

If you are a t-shirt girl, do you gravitate more towards crew necks or V-necks?

And now, with cooler weather just ahead, you might be considering sweatshirts.

Just how flattering is your t-shirt?

I think the reason I don’t wear many t-shirts is because they seem to make my neck look like a stump.

In the Line and Design Chapter of Quintessential Style (page 35), we say that V-necks are universally flattering on most everybody, because they visually elongate the neck. (And anything that elongates, creates a slimming effect.)

The choice is yours, of course.

I even decided to convert some of my crew necks into v-necks.

But, don’t make my mistake. I cut my neckband wrong and it ended up looking like this.

To convert your crew necks to v-necks, I found a great youtube how-to. Click here.

However, we also mention in Q Style (page 43), that if you have a very pointed chin and wear a V-neck, the shape of your chin may actually be emphasized. Take a look.

Overall, guys tend to look better in crew necks. Don’t you agree?

Just a little something to think about while you’re stranded at home.

Please let me know how you wear your t-shirts.
