The case of the V-Neck is one long debated. Too metrosexual for your taste? Take a leaf from the style books of the manliest of men- the USMOST- and you might think otherwise.
While it’s clear that not everyone has the physique of Olympians, the truth is that when worn correctly, the transformative power of the v-neck is enormous. It’s slimming, it’s simple, and in the words of Nathan Adrian, “not just a shirt”. 
As with all clothes, a good v-neck should skim, not cling to your body. Too tight and you’re pulling a Jersey Shore; too loose and it becomes your girlfriend’s night-dress. The neckline- unless you’re feeling particularly eccentric- should always remain half an inch or an inch below the center collar bone. 
The perfect day-to-night staple, the v-neck also keeps things flexible for day-to-day shenanigans. Layer it up with a vest or cardigan and some dress shoes, and you’re ready to go from man date to first date. Yes, the jeans can stay.

Who: Nathan Adrian 
Since winning Olympic Gold in the 100 freestyle in London, life has certainly changed for the better for this Cal swimmer and alumni. Outside training for Rio 2016, he’s been busy with numerous public appearances, charity work and of course, setting new records in the pool.
What: Perhaps a trip to NYFW has its influences, perhaps not, but Nathan’s personal get-ups for events has certainly evolved. Although v-necks can do him no wrong, he’s swapped said shirts, button-downs and sneakers for more sophisticated ensembles. Case in point: channelling a little Clark Kent and a bit of prepster-style with plaid pants, a combed side-part and glasses- Nathan, is that you?

Nothing screams summer more than a six time Olympic gold medalist decked out in boardies with a surfboard by his side, whilst (nicely) skulling a can of mountain dew.
With temperatures steadily on the rise here in Sydney and the grey winter sky increasingly being replaced by an infinite, cloudless blue, it’s hard not to look forward to the change of season…and fashion!
Beach bum? Surfer dude? Fight those awkward half-cold/half-warm days with a light cardigan or hoodie. Opt for more neutral shades either in plain block colours or simple stripes such as Ryan’s Nautica Jeans Co. hoodie to complement the bright hues of boardies. If the chills persist- fight it with a cashmere beanie or hat. We love Meg Cohen’s range here
