How To Style V Neck Jumpers

Here at SilkFred, knitwear in the colder seasons is our favourite winter perk. And one failsafe fashion staple that never goes out of style is the classic v-neck jumper.

With so many different cuts, shapes, colour, and fabrics to choose from, it can be tricky to know exactly how to style a v-neck jumper. Layering can be tricky because you don’t want to distract too much from the deep neckline, and picking the wrong kind of shirt might make you look a little too like Grandpa. (Well, to that we say, Eclectic Grandpa chic is in!). But, if you still feel like you need a helping hand, keep scrolling for some of our top tip tips.

Ready to flash a little décolletage with a v-neck this season? The expert team at SilkFred has pulled together the ultimate guide to styling v-neck sweaters. Let’s jump in!


Layering A White Tee

Now, you might be wondering what you wear under a women’s V-neck jumper. Well, if you ask us, you can’t go wrong with a classic white t-shirt. And the best news, it’s likely that you’ll already have one in your wardrobe.

This is the ultimate cool girl way to style a v-neck jumper and is effortlessly chic. Simply grab your basic and pop it on under your sweater to show – and this is crucial – just a flash of white. To finish the look, keep things classy with a pair of straight-leg jeans and your go-to trainers. If your jeans are cropped, make sure to pop on some fresh white crew socks to match your tee. Co-ord queen.

Pair With A Big Collar Blouse

Good news, maximalists! Extravagant collars are in. To give your v-neck jumper a preppy yet cool edge, try layering your jumper over a white shirt, with a big OTT collar. Choose from a Peter Pan collar or pointy, striped, or plain, you really can’t go wrong with a statement collar and v-neck combo.

Since there’s a lot going on your top half, we recommend pairing this look with some casual wide-leg trousers, and a pair of trainers or black loafers.

Match With A Mini

Sticking to the smart casual look, you can never go wrong with a mini skirt and tights in autumn and winter. We love a checkered or tartan mini skirt with a v-neck for a sophisticated yet trendy fit. Colourwise, the key is to pick a tartan print that matches your jumper, like red, navy, or forest green. Pop on some black tights, slip into cute Mary Janes, and you’re good to go.

All Black Chic

Who said knitwear was purely for daytime attire? Take your v-neck from day to night by adding a little glam to your fit. All black is always ideal for a night out look, whether you’ve got cocktails with the girls planned or date night with your other half. Show a little skin by wearing a plain black v-neck and pair with some black leather look trousers and black heeled boots, to really elevate your look.

Don’t forget to accessories! Whether you’re a silver or gold girl, pick your palette and dress up your monochrome number. A little sparkle never hunt anyone. *Chefs kiss.*
