Uniforms Garments: Sweaters Collars--V-Necks
Figure 1.-- V-neck, long sleeve sweaters were by far the most common sweater worn at the prep schools. Probably well more than half the schools had "v"-neck sweaters. Very commonly v-neck sweaters were done with trim in the school colors, often coordinated with other grments such as the cap, blazers, and ties.

V-neck, long sleeve sweaters were by far the most common sweater worn at the prep schools. Probably well more than half the schools had "v"-neck sweaters. This is presumably because this sweater style was made to be worn with neck ties and many schools required that ties be worn as part of the school uniform. A few schools had sleeveless V-neck sweaters. In some cases these were worn seasonally. Often this was an optional choice for the children. Only the V-neck sweaters were done in both long and short sleeves. The V-necks were also the most common style to be made with tm in the school colors. Most V-necks were grey, but they were done in other colors as well. Very commonly they were done with trim in the school colors, often coordinated with other grments such as the cap, blazers, and ties. The trim colors themselves were also repeared on the kneesocks. V-neck sweaters were worn by both boys and girls. Some schools had gardigans for the girks, but most had both boys and girls wear the samne v-neck sweaters.
