V-Neck T's - Can you layer?

I just got a nice V-neck T shirt today. I would like to wear it, but unfortunately, my summer tan doesn't go that far down on my chest, and needless to say, it looks a little funny. So my question is, can I layer my v-neck (black BTW) with another t-shirt or wearing something with it? Does anyone have a picture? edit: Mine looks something like this (except back and has words on the front), with a slightly bigger "neck" all around http://www.freshpair.com/C-IN2-Orang...-1111-ORG.html

Sure, I've done that quite a bit. I normally just put on a crew neck under the V-neck. I like it better when the crew neck is a louder color and the v-neck is more subtle. A black v-neck with a really bright blue is a cool comination.

Just wear the v-neck, your chest will catch up quick. Or go by a tanning salon if you're really self conscience. Wear some button up shirts undone a few buttons if you don't have enough v-necks to get your chest some extra sun time

Seriously, don't worry about being a bit white there. Most everyone has a little bit of a tan line in places. It'll catch up and until then, i doubt people will notice/care. Just wear it if you like the shirt. You can layer it if you want, but don't be afraid to wear it normal.



edit: i'm glad every guy on that site is trying to rip the shirts off their body. maybe if i buy it my abs can be as ripped, no?

i was at american apparel the other day and they layered one of their deep-v's with a classic v-neck. it looked decent on the mannequin but i don't have the balls to try anything like that.

Yea, you have to have a nice looking chest or at least be tan to wear that. I find that they fit me kind of drapey too, so it looks stupid if you want to layer with a crew neck.

I see online how they layer a tshirt or something under a deep vneck, but i'd never do it. It looks exactly like an outfit all girls have in their wardrobe. The deep scoop neck short sleeve shirt with a different color tube top or less deep v/scoop shirt underneath. I'd personally avoid it. I haven't seen anyone actually do it except for the AA male model, and i wasn't a fan.

deep-v with nothing underneath seems to be the hipster style of NYC, especially with dudes with chest tattoos.... it's kinda creepy to see a really skinny guy (like me) in a tight deep-V shirt... it's like the "anti man-cleavage"

This one kind of hipster kid in my italian class last semester(who was actually a junior in high school which is weird since i was a junior in college) wore a deep vneck from AA. We were friends as he generally tried fashion wise with slim levis, slim PDCs and well fitting tops, but we both had a laugh the day he wore that. He said an even more hipster friend gave it to him as a gift but he felt weird because he didn't want to lean over because he could feel himself showing off cleavage
