MARGARET | V-neck with a button detail

I stopped buying round necks years ago. They sit exactly where I do not want a line.

At some point a round neckline stopped being comfortable. It sits high and close, right at the spot you would rather not draw a horizontal line across, and the workaround became a drawer full of scarves to break it up. Then July arrives and a scarf is one more warm thing around your neck. Margaret does not ask for one.

The V opens the line downward instead of across, which takes the attention off the throat and lengthens everything below it. A small button detail sits at the front so the opening finishes somewhere rather than trailing off into fabric. The material is light and airy, so it hangs away from the body rather than holding against it, and the cut is easy enough to go with jeans or with pants.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• A neckline that opens downward. The V runs vertically rather than cutting straight across the collarbone, so nothing sits up at the throat.
• No scarf required. The button detail gives the opening a finish, which means the front is complete on its own in the middle of summer.
• Light enough not to hold heat. The airy fabric hangs off the body instead of pressing against it, which is the whole difference in a warm room.
• Six colors and not one of them shouts. Gray, blue, green, khaki, pink and purple, all soft enough to wear in full daylight.

How it fits

Margaret is true to size, in S through 3XL. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one, because the V only sits properly when the shoulders are not pulling, and a snug shoulder drags the neckline open wider than it was meant to go. The size chart lists chest, length and sleeve in inches, measured flat.

A few recent reviews

The V is not too deep. I checked in the mirror before I committed and it is fine to wear to work.
