Men's jumper and pullover: v neck

V neck jumpers open the front to a point, which is what leaves a shirt collar and a tie visible above the knit. Depth of the point separates the styles here, and the men's jumper page one level up holds every neckline in a single grid.

The v neck, and what it is for

The v neck shapes the front to a point, leaving room for a shirt collar and a tie to show above it. Depth of the point is what changes between styles here.

Depth, and what shows underneath

The v neck front opens to a point, so a shirt collar and tie remain visible above it. How deep that point runs determines how much shirt shows. A deeper vee suits a tie, while a shallow one works over a crew tee. Constructions on the page include fine gauge, machine washable, cable, slim fit, argyle and essential vee. No zip is involved, which is what separates this neckline from a quarter zip.

Fine gauge under a jacket

A fine gauge v neck slips under a suit jacket without adding bulk at the shoulder, which is why this neckline stays in a work wardrobe. Gauge is the number of stitches in a given width, so the finer the gauge, the thinner and smoother the knit. The page also carries cable and slim fit cuts for wear on their own. Ansett supplies both a machine washable version and a fine gauge merino one.

Common questions

When is a v neck better than a crew neck?
A v neck is the better choice when a collared shirt or a tie needs to show above the neckline. The exception is under a jacket, where a crew neck can sit neatly beneath a closed collar and a tie is not required.
Does a v neck work without a shirt?
A v neck works over a crew tee, and a shallower vee suits that combination better than a deep one. The shallow point leaves less skin exposed and sits neatly against the tee collar. Fine gauge keeps the pairing light.
What does fine gauge mean?
Fine gauge means a high stitch count in a given width. The knit is thinner and smoother, and it slips under a jacket with less bulk. Anything coarser sits proud at the shoulder and changes the line of the tailoring.
