The deep V neck for men: some call it the disturbing new trend emerging on the streets of urban America; others call it love at first sight.
Since the deep Vee is getting a lot of crap we thought we'd ask three of the men who wear it best (all members of US Royalty) to defend their love of the deep Vee:
WHY DO YOU LOVE THE DEEP V?
John Thornley
- They get deep.
- It's the jungle baby, and you're gonna die (from the extreme mugginess that is DC)
- You get to show off any jewelry you have accumulated on your travels
- And truly they are just another part of the wardrobe that should not be relied on too heavily or overused but tastefully worked in ;)
Paul Thornley
- you can share interchangeably with girls on the street...thereby doubling your wardrobe.
- Works great for presents for your girlfriend cause then you're really buying it for yourself
- for every loud hater there are three silent lovers of the deep V

Let's women see who the real men are. *not recommended for men that shave their chest.
God loves a cheerful giver.
how was Randy not asked to contribute to this?!

crew necks are universally unflattering.
there should be an anti-crew-neck movement.
This is hilarious! There is this total queen that my friends and I regularly see at the gay bars whom we refer to as "Deep V," for obvious reasons. I had no idea actual straight men were sporting this look. What's next? Halters? Hey, its a great way to show off back hair - or lack thereof.
Depends on the guy. If you're young and cute and slender, it's pretty hot. Otherwise...probably not. In my opinion. I started seeing boys do this back in February / March and it really surprised me. But I like it...
Svet - v-necks look weird on me. I think it's a combination of low levels of testosterone and a really skinny neck. Sorry, it has to be tight crew.
Deep Vs = Offensive to the Eye. Especially if you're rockin' the hair chest. EGAD
Do women like chest hair?
crew necks can be unflattering, but deep V's are gross. I'd rather them cover it up than flaunt what they don't have. this goes for girls to. i'm sure lots of people would love to see your tits, but have some class.
"new trend"?
asking a woman if she likes chest hair is like asking a man if he likes boobs, some like a little, others like alot, symmetry is neccesary
ha. my friend, john, lacks symmetry. we call it the toga. it looks just like it sounds.
Deep V's make me feel sexy.
I don't like chest hair or back hair. Hair anywhere else is fine.
Sara - no, straight men do not wear V necks.
The V or the dreaded Deep V necks will never fly with real men and with good reason. That shit is to show off cleavage and if that's what your flaunting from a male perspective I will take a pass.
Taylor loves her some hairy scrote.
1. What Grace said.
2. Back hair = always gross.
3. I've seen quite a few men looking damn good in v-necks. And half of them were indeed straight.
It isn't exactly a "new" trend...
I think it's very sexy if you know how to pull it off.
And to the REAL man: Yes, we do. But we don't like hairy bellies (except for that little string between the belly button and...)
Badge of honor, Cale.
Do you ladies like my 6 chest hairs and 13 nipple hairs?
The "Deep" V reeks of Pete Wentz '06.
No chance Cale has hit puberty.
John Foster, I hate to break your stride but...there's some hot young dudes sporting deep v's. I believe if you checked for their "real manhood" you'd find it intact and blazing.
;)
As quite possibly the dude with the hairiest chest writing for this website, I feel I should comment. I will never wear a v-neck, mainly because people aren't ready when I release the werewolf.
oh - unless someone can find me an awesome medallion. Preferably something with my zodiac sign(aquarius) on it.

a bushel of Selleck-style chestlocks is always a comforting thought... a bristly nest of hair that you can twirl your fingers around (and around). if you got it, flaunt it. for heaven's sake, just don't chop it. there's nothing worse than a prickly chest---let it grow and, what-the-hell, let it show!
The only guys (I use that loosely) I've ever seen wearing V necks shave their chest hair.
Dudes with long necks look like aliens in V necks and dudes with short necks are cretins and just one step away from cro-magnons so there you go.
i'm pretty sure i could wear a button-down sweater with the sleeves cut off and still be cute. style is attitude suckers.
if threadless made vnecks i'd wear them, but until then i'll have to stick with the regular neck.
the only person i know that can pull off a deep V is Jesse Bishop.
my middle school math teacher once told our (all girls) class that she loved chest hair. specifically, mel gibson's chest hair (this was before he got weird. or before we all knew about it anyway). at the time, i was appalled. but then hormones or something kicked in and now i totally get it.
i mean, it's summertime - the more boy flesh on display, the better!!
pedro: "style is attitude" - so true.
jeff: jesse bishop is also the only guy who can pull off a head band, wait, no, mick coogan can too, but they wear very different headbands.
taylor: how can you hate chest/back hair but be alright with a forest?
i'm okay with hair as long as it suits the person. cale would look weird with a hairy chest.
happy trails are always sexy (on men/boys)
attitude certainly supports style but there are (too) many people with attitude and bad style. But it's also true that men who rock deep V's look good in whatever they wear.
Guys, V-necks are for everyone, even fat girls, but not really. i think they rock, just don't go over board with the chest hair
This thread needs to be saved so next year it can be held against everyone who said they liked the look.

I love chest hair. and the deep V. and U.S. Royalty.
Jesus, this thread is right out of LNS Forums. You should all be ashamed.
The real issue is that all the pictures are of button-downs loose to the xiphoid, which is a totally different look from douchebag v-necks. Yes, xiphoid. Fuck all of you pre-emptively. The worst look in DC is not the deep-v, it's the tucked-in oxford buttoned up to the neck. Shudder.
No, Dr. No, It is the impeccably ironed oxford buttoned up to the neck and untucked.
Re: Michael, saving this thread.
Actually, you're totally right. I recant my above statements.
Noah, the xiphoid is the thing that breaks if you do CPR wrong, right?
I don't understand: I should or should not wear deep-V, somebody simplify this it's going to bug me all day.
An deeply-unbuttoned shirt is different than a deep-v tee shirt. As for which one is a better look, check the sweet Selleck and Beatty pics in the article.
i like the deep v neck shirts i think they are ugh...tight.
i bought one for my exboyfriend, and it looked good, until he got fat.
still hoping to meet another deep-v wearing guy. i have 5 american apparel summer shirts and i'm willing to share.
