Heavage and the Deep V Neck Sweater: Men’s Fashion Trends
A few years back we wrote about the rise of heavage, male cleavage, in men’s fashion. According to the Wall Street Journal, the trend is gaining steam, for which total credit should be given to the patron saint of heavage, rockstar Jon Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi (and you too Richie Sambora) were the first, post Saturday Night Fever celebrities to proudly display their heavage, thus opening the door to a trend that has spread across our great nation.
Here’s how you can get your heavage on:

I am not a huge fan of this look, but isn’t too bad if the v-neck isn’t too low.
Most of these deep v-necks are less horrible because they’re worn with something underneath. What I hate more are those V-neck tshirts that some idiot came up with where the V pretty much ends up at their abdominals, but worn with nothing else underneath. It’s like, gawd, Jennifer Lopez was a decade ago. And a girl, you freaks. I mean, you’re man. Wear a proper freaking t-shirt, or you can take it off completely (as long as you can pull off the shirtless look) – slutty low-cut tops for men are just stupid.
i really like this look when the V is not too deep, and paired with a casual blazer and dark jeans
