Crew Neck or V Neck in a Bamboo T-shirt
Short answer: Crew neck or V neck is mostly a matter of taste, but the neckline can change how a bamboo t-shirt works with your face and jewellery. Here is a simple guide to choosing the neckline on an everyday bamboo t-shirt.
Crew neck, the classic
A crew neck sits close around the neck and gives a calm, classic look. It suits many types of clothes and is easy to combine with a thin chain. It can make a short neck look more compact, though, if the neckline sits high.
V neck, which lengthens the face
A V neck opens the area around the neck and can make the face look longer. It often suits rounder face shapes and people who like a little more skin in the neckline. Check that the V is not so deep that it gapes when you bend.
Wide crew neck and boat neck
A wider neckline shows more of the collarbone and can sit nicely on the shoulders. It is often more relaxed and suits those who like a loose style. A wide neckline needs the shirt not to slip to the side, so check how the fabric falls.
Choosing a bamboo t-shirt for everyday
A bamboo t-shirt is soft and falls calmly, so the neckline lies neatly without being stiff. Look at a bamboo T-shirt for women and compare the different necklines. The best choice is the one you enjoy wearing all day.
Face shape as a hint, not a rule
You can use your face shape as a guide, but it is not a rule. The shirt should feel right for you. Hold it up in front of the mirror and see what makes you feel comfortable.
Jewellery and scarves
A crew neck suits a short chain, and a V neck a longer one. If you want to wear a scarf, a crew neck is often easier to combine. A women's long-sleeved bamboo T-shirt can be a good layer under a cardigan or a jacket.
Underneath the shirt
The neckline also decides which bra or top you can wear underneath. If the neckline is deep, you need underwear that does not show. A bamboo sports bra can work under a wide neckline if the straps sit calmly.
Keeping the shape in the wash
The neckline is a place where the fabric can go slack. Wash the T-shirt according to the care label and do not pull on the edge when you put it on and take it off. Air drying helps the edge keep its shape.
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose crew neck or V neck
It is a matter of taste. A crew neck is classic and close, while a V neck opens the area around the neck. Try both and choose the one you enjoy wearing most.
Does the neckline gape
It can if it is deep or the shirt is too big. Bend forward in front of the mirror and check that the neckline lies flat and does not open too much.
How do I keep the neck in shape
Do not pull on the edge when you put the shirt on and take it off. Wash according to the care label and let the shirt air dry, so the edge does not go slack from heat.
