How to Style Turtlenecks
The perennial crisp-climate essential is never boring, but always chic.
Arguably the most essential staple piece in everyone's fall wardrobe, turtlenecks are one of the most versatile and timeless basics for crisp-weather dressing. The unfussy fall piece has been worn for centuries dating back to the 1500s, but it was in the 1940s when the emergence of turtlenecks as a cool climate closet essential gave it the title of a classic basic that elevates any look.
Some may say turtlenecks are boring and lackluster in some sense, but just as plain white t-shirts are deemed simple yet sophisticated when styled correctly, turtlenecks make for a chic piece in every fall outfit. Dress a turtleneck with sheer tights and a plaid skirt, you have a '90s grunge-inspired outfit. Wear it with straight-legged trousers, ballet flats, and accessorize with a colorful scarf a la Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face. Style it with a good pair of boot-cut jeans, black ankle boots, and a classic camel coat for an effortlessly sophisticated look on the go.
