Key Piece: The Striped Turtleneck

November 2, 2016

Turtlenecks used to have the reputation of being a conservative garment. Nowadays, turtlenecks are considered not only as a foundational piece but also a great piece to add edge and fun to layered looks.
Every Fall or Winter, I re-stock with one or two new turtlenecks because the ones from the previous cold season are pretty worn out from so much use. Having a small wardrobe, I have to consider versatile pieces such a turtleneck in order to mix and match with the rest of my clothes.
Today, I'm showing you eight outfits with my favorite turtleneck. I find all turtleneck tops to be versatile, but for some reason, the striped ones seem to get more use. I like striped turtlenecks because, besides adding a classy French-esque touch, they are perfect to break up the layers.

There are so many ways that you can wear a striped turtleneck. For example, you wear it under a vibrant printed dress like the picture above in order to create an unexpected combination.
You also can make the stripes complement a colorful garment, such as a coat or jacket.

Sporty? Of course, you can use your striped turtleneck for a sporty look. As a matter, of fact in order to keep your neck warm when wearing sporty looks around chilly weather, consider a turtleneck, because it's more practical than a scarf.
