The Accessory Of The Season, The Turtleneck

Audrey Hepburn, The Turtleneck, Must Have Accessory, Image Barn, Vicki Archer, French Essence


The turtleneck is the must have accessory this season.


It has always been a wardrobe essential of mine and is one of those easy wear items.


Pair the turtleneck with black pants and great shoes and it will take you most places.


The turtleneck is flattering.



I admit that the high coverage appeals to me… the neckline not being quite what it was.

This winter the fitted turtleneck is being worn under jackets and coats; the looser  and more chunky style with slim pants.


If the waist is your selling point the fitted turtleneck works wonders… showing off and elongating the upper body and at the same time taking the attention away from the hips… that’s the one for me.

The opposite is true of the loose fitting turtleneck worn over the slim pant… it compliments a large bust, covers any mid section lumps and bumps and focuses on the legs.



This sweater doesn’t need much chat. It’s ageless and it is chic.


An easy fashion win/win for us…  The turtleneck is going to be worn a lot… xv
