Turtleneck shirts rise in a folded collar that covers the neck fully. Classic, chic and warm, the turtleneck is timeless polish.
The full coverage flatters longer necks and adds elegance to every figure. It creates a sleek column that elongates. Petite women should choose finer knits to avoid bulk.
Layer under blazers, slip dresses and overalls for endless styling. Pair with bold earrings since the neck is covered. The turtleneck is fall and winter’s most versatile top.
When buying by neckline, try the shirt on with the undergarments you will actually wear — neckline fit changes completely with the right bra. Check that the opening lies flat without gaping or pulling, and sit down in it if you will wear it to work. Consider your jewelry box: the necklines you own should work with the necklaces you love. A neckline that frames your face beautifully is worth more than any trend.
