STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Turtlenecks

January 27th, 2015 at 2:00am

Hello Fashionista/os! This week’s topic is something I never thought I would ever write about—turtlenecks. Even the name of these sweaters make me feel uncomfortable. I have decided that I no longer can keep avoiding this fashion statement, and in response, I have noticed myself starting to truly embrace it. After stumbling upon this Fashionista’s ensemble, I can say with confidence that I fell in love with the look, and I went out and purchased my very own turtleneck.

This trend may seem complicated and intimidating at first, but it’s the complete opposite. I have seen turtlenecks paired with denim pants, leather pants or skirts, and they can even be worn over a dress if you can find the right one. The versatility of this piece is what makes it so stylish and popular. Turtlenecks give a nice, chic look to any outfit. This Fashionista incorporates a bold leather legging with a subtle winter white turtleneck. If you have read some of my other articles, then I’m sure you are fully aware that one of my most common style tips is to incorporate opposite spectrums of style when creating a unique look. There is nothing I love more than the balance of an edgy and subtle twist in an outfit.

What is so amazing about a cropped turtleneck is the easy transition in between seasons and temperatures. Spring can often times be pretty chilly, and this is where a cropped turtleneck is that missing piece in your wardrobe.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Whether it is a turtleneck or not, any sweater can be dressed up by adding leather leggings. Take a simple step each day to dress up your normal look!”
