This "Boring" Hero Piece Is the Secret Ingredient to All These Excellent Outfits
Well, hello, October. And hello, turtleneck season! I, for one, am 100% ready for a snug and comforting extra layer to keep me feeling cozy and looking chic as we enter into the cold months ahead.
While we all have that one oversize turtleneck that if we could, we would wear every day, we must admit that the real MVPs of the season are our lightweight turtlenecks. Whether you opt for ribbed, cashmere, cotton, or wool, the versatile staple is the secret ingredient to our most stylish fall and winter outfits.
The body-hugging fit not only keeps you warm and cozy, but they're also ideal when it comes to layering. They go perfectly under button-down shirts, dresses, and oversize sweaters and they can also add a subtle statement if you opt for printed or textured ones. But even the simplest of turtlenecks exude a sophisticated touch. Below, we're sharing some cool lightweight turtleneck outfits that prove the "boring" basic deserves a place in your cold-weather wardrobe.
