Layering Vee Necks

Hello Pres,
Can you help with this? I have been layering sweaters over simple Tee shirts and feel that a Vee neck sweater only looks good if there is a scoop or crew neck underneath. A Vee neck over a Vee neck just looks wrong to me. Is it just me? A collared shirt open into a Vee looks fine. Are there any tips for layering successfully?

Layering, and evaluating necklines, requires some skill. Here are a few tips to help you:
Be sure that the Vee neck is the best neckline for you. If your eyes are your best feature, a straight boatneck is a better neckline for you; and if your chest isn't prominent, a scoop, even for layering, is better than a Vee.

A Vee is best to highlight a curvy bosom, by pointing the eye downward to it, and a deeper Vee will serve to minimize a larger bosom, by cutting the area that's covered by cloth. Here's an extreme example. Note how the color blocks cut the chest area into three areas, instead of one unbroken expanse.

Be sure that the Vee of your layering piece isn't too short. Underneath, try wearing a cami with a straight line across the chest; consider a lacy one. As always, you have to try the combinations to be sure of the effect. For a great Vee look, make sure that the Vee is a good choice for you; choose the proper length for the Vee, and, if you want to layer, add a contrasting or complimentary color in a straight line, under.
