The Style

The V-neck sweater style became popular in the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, as part of the "preppy" look. This style is characterized by a V-shaped neckline that adds a touch of sophistication and versatility to the garment. Wool V-neck sweaters were especially popular due to their warmth, breathability, and elegant appearance, making them suitable for both casual and semi-formal occasions. The 1970s saw a continuation of this trend, with an emphasis on bold colors and classic designs.
