With Nautical Stripes

More than any other year, nautical stripes are the star of winter dressing. In the breton top category, you can find them in every possible variation: with thin and wide stripes, in slim and oversized fits, with cotton or knit textures. 

The most popular shades in breton tops, of course, are those that flirt with ivory, light beige, dark blue, and black. 

The striped breton tops that are in a more feminine version, with thinner stripes and a close fit to the body, go perfectly with men's suits, oversized pants, and high-waisted skirts. The most comfortable version, with wide sleeves and a more relaxed and longer length, pairs fantastically with skinny jeans, cigarette pants, and leggings. 

Black 

The turtleneck in its black version is a whole category on its own and certainly one black turtleneck is not enough for a well-informed woman's wardrobe. To be realistic, we definitely need one that can be worn in the early hours of the city or the office and one for more evening appearances. Because the black turtleneck can be worn at any time and on any occasion. 

For more evening and feminine outfits, it's worth investing in a black turtleneck with a thin texture, a tight fit and details such as transparency and lace. For the day and until late afternoon, a turtleneck in a more feminine and fitted line can take center stage in an outfit. It can be worn, for example, inside a shirt or sweater for extra style. If you're a fan of comfort, a - bordering on oversized - black turtleneck can successfully accompany your more casual and everyday looks. 

The oversized  

I think if we were asked in which garment we would choose to live "inside" this winter, we would definitely choose a soft, fluffy and warm turtleneck. That's why the options in this category are almost endless and all perfect.  

In bold colors, with jacquard patterns, knitted but also more cotton and sweatshirt-like, minimal monochrome but also more eccentric so as not to get bored. Whatever you think, whatever your style is, you will definitely find many more than one that you will want to wear in a wash-and-wear logic. 

The Colorful

Just imagine this: black jeans, a black or gray coat, and a turtleneck in your favorite color. Fuchsia pink? Yellow? Mustard? Khaki? Green? Purple? Whatever you choose, it will look great.

So, no matter what your favorite shade is, if you choose it for your turtleneck, you can rest assured that it's in fashion and will give your look the energy that winter clothes usually lack.

Experiment freely, just make sure your total look doesn't flirt with more than 3 different shades so you can be sure of the final result. Unless you can pull off something more extravagant with your personality, in which case we can only admire you.

The statement 

The turtleneck on its own is a garment that doesn't go unnoticed. However, fashion companies have made sure to give them an extra boost and make them a real statement with some of their proposals. 

More specifically, think of a turtleneck with puffy shoulders, what difference can it make in a simple outfit. Or a turtleneck with discreet metallic shine, how easily it can transform a simple pair of jeans without trying too hard. A cropped or slightly above the waist turtleneck can also make your outfit feminine even if you wear the widest pants or the most rugged boots. Also, a turtleneck with a special knit or an impressive logo. It will manage to draw attention to you and give another air to a simple, casual outfit. 

With Patterns

Patterns on a turtleneck give a different dimension to this beloved garment. Floral or colorful patterns, symmetrical or asymmetrical, more "childish" or playful, add that extra something to your look. The more monochromatic the outfit you combine it with, the more it will pop out.

Turtlenecks with favorite patterns such as plaid, jacquard and stripes, which we always love to wear all winter long, also belong to the category of patterns. So make sure they don't escape your style radar!
