If you’re the type of person who spends her Winter struggling to put together a frigid-weather-appropriate outfit but meanwhile has a closet full of Summer-ready sundresses and flitty cocktail frocks just collecting dust, you’re in good company. It seems the designers of New York Fashion Week feel your pain and have found a surprisingly simple, why-didn’t-we-think-of-it-sooner solution.
The Fall 2015 runways have introduced a layering trick that lets you winterize whatever warm-weather item you’ve got (and wear it right this minute) by simply layering it over a turtleneck top. (Need more proof that the turtleneck is a wise style investment? Just check out this emerging Fashion Week trend.)
A sexy leather cutout dress? Just put a turtleneck under it. A sparkly sequined cocktail dress? Just put a turtleneck under it. A printed strapless jumpsuit, a silky beach-ready caftan, a neon bubble minidress? Just put a turtleneck under it.
Pros like Thakoon, Jill Stuart, and Mara Hoffman have proven just how versatile this turtlenecking technique is. So, follow suit and start wearing your favorite Summer pieces today without fear of freezing.
