If You Want to Fit In With Fashion People This Fall, Swap Your Basic Crewnecks for This Right-Now Alt
The girls that get it, get it.

There are certain items every season, from specific basics to of-the-moment trends, that will make you look like a fashion person if you wear them. They're usually unexpected and controversial in some way (until, suddenly, they're not), and they're always chic. Following their lead is always a good idea, and fortunately, one has recently popped up ahead of fall: V-neck tops. Guess who's on board?
Kendall Jenner, who recently walked in the Khaite show during New York Fashion Week, was spotted in the fashion capital wearing a sleeveless black top and knee-length skirt from the same brand as well as flip-flops and a woven bag from The Row. Normally, we'd expect a stylish person like Jenner to wear a crewneck and, if not, a scoop or boatneck. In 2025, specifically this fall, that won't be the case. Instead, her simple fitted top featured a high, snug V-neck.
On Kendall Jenner: The Row City Flip Flop ($890) and Lilou Woven Leather Shoulder Bag ($3350); Khaite Renato Top ($940) and Monina Skirt ($1680)
Only adding to their appeal were the dozens of other NYFW attendees who also styled V-neck tops to shows this season, from sweaters to T-shirts. Everyone cool in the city right now is sidestepping crewnecks for V-neck alternatives this fall. For proof, keep scrolling. Below, you'll find more V-neck-top outfit inspiration as well as plenty of shoppable options to ensure you look like a fashion person throughout the season ahead.
Get the look: White crewneck T-shirt + Navy V-neck sweater + Bomber jacket + Straight-leg trousers
Get the look: Long-sleeve V-neck T-shirt + Black column skirt + Black belt + Clutch
Get the look: Red jacket + tan V-neck sweater + Black jeans + Classic belt
