Figure 1.--While V-neck sweaters were probanly the most common, quite a number of prep schools had crew-neck sweaters.

Some others had crew-necks, but the v-neck was by far the most common. The crew-neck sweaters were always done as long-sleeve sweaters. This is in part because many schools required that ties be worn and the "V" neck allowed the tie to be seen. It was rather pointless to wear ties with crew-neck sweaters. Thus schools with crew-neck sweaters tended to be somewhat more informal. Some of the crew-neck sweaters were done in a military style. Crew neck sweaters were not as common as V-neck sweatrs, but they were worn at quite a few schools. They were done in a range of colors. Grey was not as common for crew necks as it was for V-necks. The crew-necks, unlike the V-necks were no usually done with trim in the school colors.
