Spotted everywhere on the Fall runways, the turtleneck is infinitely wearable. Whether it’s chunky and cable knit, ribbed, slouchy or skin-tight, the flattering effect of a turtleneck is the same: the high neck creates the illusion of a defined jawline and a slimmer face, while keeping you warm and cozy without adding additional bulk.
Skip the hassle of coordinating your scarf and bundle up with the turtleneck trend instead.
