Gradient V-Neck Sweater: Width Changes, Hem Stays 58 cm
M–XL chest and shoulders widen while listed length stays 58 cm. Compare a sweater you own and plan the V-neck underlayer.
The gradient V-neck sweater is offered in Black or White and M, L or XL. The current Black gallery shows a dark-to-light color transition and a collared shirt visible inside the V. Its chart has an unusual relationship: chest, shoulder and sleeve change by size, but listed length stays at 58 cm for all three. That makes it useful to decide the silhouette and hem separately. A larger size may give more room across the top without lowering the published hem measurement.
Map the width changes against the unchanged hem
M lists 116 cm chest, 58 cm shoulder, 52 cm sleeve and 58 cm length. L lists 120/60/53/58; XL lists 124/62/54/58. Chest rises 4 cm, shoulder 2 cm and sleeve 1 cm each step. Length does not change. If your favorite sweater has the right hem position but needs more chest room, these rows suggest a possible comparison; if your favorite is too short, moving up a row does not add any listed length. That is chart arithmetic rather than a fit promise. The source says flat-laid manual measurements may vary by about 1–3 cm and does not define whether the chest figures are doubled circumferences.
| Size | Chest | Shoulder | Sleeve | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M | 116 | 58 | 52 | 58 |
| L | 120 | 60 | 53 | 58 |
| XL | 124 | 62 | 54 | 58 |
Try the neckline with two existing layers
First, use a plain crewneck shirt under a V-neck sweater you own. Note how much neck and chest area remains visible. Then use a collared shirt, as in the gallery, and check whether its collar sits neatly inside the V without bunching at the shoulder. The listing provides no V depth, neck opening or armhole measurement, so the photo shows one possible arrangement, not clearance for every shirt. If your collared reference shirt is substantial, ask for the actual neckline and armhole dimensions before relying on the chest number alone.
The Black gallery’s dark upper area and pale lower area can frame a light collar. A plain dark shirt would change that contrast; a longer shirt might show below the 58 cm listed hem. Those are styling suggestions, not evidence that an underlayer is bundled. The White choice is selectable, but the pictured transition cannot establish its exact color placement. View its own variant images or request a current photo if the gradient matters to a planned outfit.
Use a reference garment to finish the decision
Lay flat a sweater that works with the shirt you intend to use. Measure its chest at the same height, shoulder span, sleeve from the same starting point and length to the hem. Ask how the MAXCT chart was taken before comparing the numbers. The source names 90% polyester and 10% wool, but gives no knit weight, stretch range, care label or opacity. Those missing facts matter if texture or laundering is part of your choice; the fiber percentages alone do not resolve them. Choose M, L or XL by the width and reach you need, while treating 58 cm as a shared listed length to verify against your reference.
