Turtlenecks have been around for decades, both for men and for women. They are a chic item we think every gal (and guy, now that we are on the subject) should have tucked in their closet.

Not only are turtlenecks a great transition piece in the fall, but they make for a great layering piece once winter rolls around. We even see sleeveless turtlenecks worn year-round. Suffice it to say, these versatile tops are a great piece to wear and to have, and in today’s article, we are going to be showing you all the ways you can wear them. Whether you are going to run errands or heading to a formal party, we want to show you that there is no place and occasion where you can’t rock a turtleneck.

Styling Tips

• A turtleneck is no exception. Look for a top that fits you closely and skims nicely over your figure. Opt for soft, fine quality fabric.

• Always check for pills, stains, or tears before wearing.

• Lint-roll your top, no matter what color you’re wearing.

• If you need a warmer turtleneck, opt for wool.
