What is a turtleneck?

Turtlenecks are a must for cold winter days. A turtleneck has a high, tube-like collar that’s elasticated so it can be rolled over once or, depending on the fabric, several times. This unique cut keeps your neck warm and makes a great statement piece for your winter outfits!

The layering trend

The layered look is where two or more tops are worn on top of each other, allowing several items of clothing to be shown off at the same time. Layering up is therefore ideal for styling turtlenecks!

Our styling tips

We have put together three inspiring "layering" tips for you here and show you how best to combine a turtleneck jumper!

1) Turtleneck under a kimono

For laid-back, cosy days, try throwing a matching kimono over your turtleneck. The kimono will add a light, sophisticated touch to your outfit. If you don’t own a kimono, a stylish cardigan can also work!

2) Turtleneck under a sweatshirt

If you prefer things a little more practical, then we recommend wearing a turtleneck with a cosy sweatshirt. We’ve paired our Richesse Lace turtleneck with a sleeveless sweatshirt. This combination will keep you warm and is practical too, as it keeps your arms free.

3) Turtleneck under a knitted pullover

A turtleneck and a knitted pullover are the perfect dream team. This pairing is a style saviour on extra cold winter days. Our recommendation for extra warmth: wool-silk turtleneck jumper from the "True Confidence" series.
