The Statement Turtleneck Is Already Taking Over This Fall—Shop 21 Styles Here
All hail the statement turtleneck. New iterations of the fall essential are proving to be so much more than a cover-up layering piece. While we’ll always love the elegance of a classic turtleneck, right now we’re being drawn to something with a little more flair. And we’re finding inspiration for these tricked-out turtlenecks on both the runways and our favorite street style players.
Dries Van Noten practically turned the humble knit piece into eveningwear by embellishing his tops with teardrop-shaped crystals. Raf Simons and Miuccia Prada gave the minimalist garment a head-turning makeover with Swiss-cheese-like cutouts and artsy florals. Even Khaite proved that the elegant piece doesn’t have to be boring by sprinkling zigzag-pattern designs into its fall collection.
Naturally, the latest crop of street style stars couldn’t resist wearing similar versions of the knit garment to shows this past month. We’ve seen it all, from revealing sheer numbers in New York City to playful multicolored iterations in Paris. Each look is proof that turtlenecks need not be boring. Instead, they can be both a joy to look at and a delight to wear.
From playful prints to unexpected cutouts, here are 21 of our favorite statement turtlenecks to shop now.
