Tips on how to wear turtlenecks
Today I’m going to introduce tips on how to style turtleneck sweaters—the season’s must-have layer for any and all fashionistas.

The turtleneck is officially back in style. With many designers taking their inspiration from the latest normcore fad—a popular fashion trend characterized by average-looking, unpretentious clothing—the turtleneck, a unisex wardrobe staple, is having their moment in fashion at the moment. In particular, many of the industry’s top designers including Stella McCartney and Rachel Roy who call themselves “turtleneck believers” are reinterpreting the timeless classic in interesting ways, giving us a reason to finally get excited about donning the seasonal wardrobe staple.

This fall, the turtleneck sweaters are taking on an undeniable versatility—seen in a wide array of colors, designs, and textures. In particular, the oversized turtleneck is here to stay. Chunky, oversized knit turtleneck sweaters have been around for a few seasons, with many designers embracing the comfy chic style in their collections and it’s no exception this fall. For the office, swap a tight-fitting knit top for a loose, oversized turtleneck and wear it teamed up with your favorite pair of trousers and instantly create a chic office look. In addition, sweater dresses are the perfect stand alone piece that can take your look from drab to fab. On a day when you feel like dressing up, opt for an extremely oversized turtleneck dress in subdued, earthy colors and wear it alone as a statement piece. Complete the outfit with a pair of booties and you have a chic fall outfit.

Next, the cropped turtleneck is “in” at the moment. The cropped tops, short enough to show your midriff, have been extremely popular for a few seasons, and cropped turtlenecks are seen everywhere—from the runways to the stores and the streets. Knit iterations of cropped turtlenecks are ideal for both the office and for casual functions. Pair one with a suede skirt now and use it as a base piece for bundling up in the winter. For the office, opt for something plain and sleek as a black cropped turtleneck and team it up with a pair of high-waisted trousers. Complete the outfit with a pair of oxfords and you have a super chic look!

In addition, a simple turtleneck can turn an outfit into a statement, if paired with the right items. The turtleneck sweater and voluminous full skirt pairing can be the perfect go-to outfit that brings instant polish. The Fall/Winter 2015 runways were filled with interesting versions of turtleneck and skirt ensembles, giving us a reason to try the classic look. For the office, switch out your favorite pencil skirt for a full skirt and wear it teamed up with a chunky knit turtleneck in marsala—a deep maroon hue that dominated the runways. For a whole new look, you can go for eye-catching pieces like a pair of leather leggings. For casual functions, opt for a chunky knit turtleneck and wear it teamed up with a stylish pair of black leggings. Complete the outfit with a pair of pumps and you the perfect fall look.

Rock a turtleneck now and stay stylish!
