Why Your Turtleneck is Your Closet’s Most Versatile Piece
They have been staples in the closets of fashion icons for a reason - Turtlenecks can be dressed up, down, professional, casual, in loungewear, and more. They can be short sleeve, long sleeve, or no sleeve at all for a more Florida-friendly outfit. I am here today to give you a head-start on how to style your turtlenecks for every style and every season. Let us start with our current season, Spring.
The Spring Fit
Depending on where you live, your spring season might be a little chillier, or it could be bikini weather. Either way, there is a turtleneck combination out there for you.
For those with a little bit of a warmer spring season, a cap sleeve or a san sleeve turtleneck is the way to go. For a put together but effortless look, pair it with a low bun and light wash jeans. Model, Em Rata shows us how it’s done with her matching skirt and heels. For comfort, swap the skirt out for jeans/jumpers and heels out for your favorite sneakers.
If your spring season still requires long sleeves, simply swap the cap sleeve for a long sleeve!
Hot Girl Summer
It’s time to go sans sleeves girl. Throw on a hat and a skirt and live your best hot girl summer.
Fall Fashion
Fall fashion is all about comfort and easy styles. Simply add a good coat, jeans, and whatever shoes you desire that day and you are set.
Winter Woman
Turtlenecks are not only great as shirts, but they make for the best sweaters. No scarf, no problem.
Margot knows the drill.
The Casual Look & Street Style
LAYERS, and one more time for the people in the back, layer your turtleneck! Layer your turtleneck under a t-shirt or sweatshirt to elevate your casual looks. If you want to research some awesome casual and street style turtleneck fashion tips, take notes from Selena Gomez or Em Rata for the ultimate cool-girl outfit inspiration.
Keep It Professional
For a sleek and easy look, pair your turtleneck with a blazer and dress pants, or tailored wide-leg slacks. This keeps your look sharp and professional, and even saves the hassle of buttoning your dress shirt. Victoria Beckham, quite possibly the Queen of Turtlenecks, does it best.
Let Your Accessories Shine
A simple top gives your statement pieces the attention they deserve. A turtleneck allows you to go sans necklace and let your chunky earrings do the talking.
I hope after reading this you are pulling every turtleneck out of your closet with pure excitement and feeling like a style queen. For someone who wants a timeless piece, this is a closet item that will never go out of style and works for every occasion. I hope this helps!
