There are those of us that have never given up on the Turtleneck as the under-pinning of choice for just about any outfit. It can be dressed up or down, be warm and snuggly in cashmere or if in lighter weight knitted fabrics and sleeveless, can be the transitional piece that draws you from Summer into Fall. The news this season is that it is is no longer just a Diane Keaton thing…..as many of you may remember, in the Nancy Meyers’ film, ‘Something’s Gotta Give”, where Jack Nicholson says to her, implying her need to cover her body to the max….”Why do you always wear Turtlenecks?” (which she does wear a lot of and looks great and classic all the time, even adds a quirky twist at times!?)
This season the Fall 2015 runways were packed with Turtlenecks and their resurgence was obvious. The irony of the neckline story from NYFW was two-fold, either off-the-shoulder, which I have spoken of often or high around the neck in variations of turtlenecks….from classics to the loose and scrunchy cowl necks. Anyway, you want to wear it, is acceptable and chic as you will see from many of the examples below. Is there anything more divine than a beautifully soft cashmere turtleneck worn with a beautiful lace or beaded skirt for cocktail, under a blazer in a dress or with a skirt/pant for work or with a favorite jean and maybe a leather jacket for casual wear. So take my advice and look into your closets or drawers (a good cashmere t-neck should always be stored folded!) and see what you have and then purchase a few new styles to freshen up your wardrobe, right HERE online from the selection of some of our favorites below.

Image: CareerGirlDaily.com; Super casual ribbed, loose and over-sized with jeans
Image: Shopstyle.com; Same over-sized style taken up a notch with a skirt for the office or to do lunch!
Image: Time-for-Fashion.blogs.elle.es; With casual denim, great suede coat and a touch of print at the neck…..layer a scarf underneath!
Image: WhoWhatWear.com; To give that sleeveless transitional t-neck more legs, make it the layer over a woven shirt; shown here with a stripe, also classic with white shirt underpinning.
Image: GlamRadar.com; In our neck of the woods, this is the way to transition into Fall; cannot own too many sleeveless t-necks to wear alone for just a taste of Fall or to layer under a great jacket (probably leather for me!) or a blazer or cardigan.
Image: Dustjacket.com; Another great wear-to-work, lunch or anywhere look
Image: TheFashionSight.com; a casual mode, this typically favored jean sweater, worn with culottes, a look that makes it so this season!
Image: HarpersBazaar.com; Dress-up for the ladies-who-lunch or if in black could easily take you into cocktail hour, as well! Tonal with jewels, stunning and fresh!
