Ah, the turtleneck – it’s not the easiest trend on the block to make work, but it is huuuuuge for A/W’15, so we’re determined to make it work for us. Contrast is key – layer yours with different colours, textures and silhouettes. So if you’re going for a light knit turtleneck on top, go for voluminous on the bottom, and don’t be afraid to mix it up with leathers and suedes alongside your woolens.
Our other top tip? Jewellery! The turtleneck is a super-simple, one-tone cover-up so that means you can play with earrings, necklaces and bangles to great effect. Here are some polos worth picking up.
