If you're looking to refresh your wardrobe for spring, sometimes all it takes is a tiny tweak. But which tweak from the ocean of "new season, new me" should we actually make?
Here at GH, we believe we’ve found the one: introducing the U-neck. Not a V. Not a crew. Just a simple, elegant "U"—like the vowel, but for your clavicle.
While your new season antennae might be leading you towards penny loafers, preppy shirting or GH editor approved buys, the U-neck plays a different game. One thing it isn't is a big fashion statement. Rather, the U-neck plays as a wardrobe-foundation-come-instant-style-refresher.
It's thanks to influence from Prada, (whose U-neck tank is £720) that the high street have responded with a variety of U-neck styles - and there's something for everyone. Gap's perfectly cut £10 version is hard to beat if you're happy to expose your arms, and if more coverage is your thing, the £29 T-shirt version from Hush delivers.
It's easy to see why a U-neck is right for now: it layers like a dream and its generous scoop carves out just enough space to frame the face and highlight jewellery without straying into perilous décolletage territory.
In short, it's the style update you never knew you needed but will soon wonder how you lived without.
