Yes or No: Turtlenecks

posted on October 17, 2012 | by Amanda Holstein

I honestly didn’t think turtlenecks were ever going to come back. Cowl necks, yes, but turtlenecks, not so much. But when I found this little guy at the GAP the other day, I quickly changed my mind. First of all, they’re so damn comfortable. It’s like always wearing a scarf without it unraveling or getting caught in things (or does that just happen to me?). Plus, I think with a sleek bun, a bit more pulled together than the one I’m sporting here, the look can be really chic. So, what do you think? Turtlenecks or no turtlenecks?

Let’s go shopping:

GAP Sweater
Cheap Monday Pants (similar)
Michael Kors Booties

Haha I love that first picture! Honestly, I can’t stand turtlenecks–but it’s nothing against how they look. I actually think they can look supppperrrr chic…I just find that I always feel like I’m choking when I wear one. Alas, this is one piece I must admire from afar!

I wore them a lot as a child (when Mommy dressed me!) but a few years ago I had a black one I wore a lot. I like them!

I’m all for turtlenecks lately, especially chunky knits! They can look super chic and add an extra bit of warmth to a fall or winter outfit! I did just pick up a tissue thin turtleneck from J.Crew that will be in heavy rotation this fall.

I have always loved turtlenecks! I had a few great ones I sold to a consignment years ago, but I am ready for some new!

You certainly wear it well, Amanda :)

I love the lighter skinny ribbed polonecks or in cashmere ( when I’ve saved up enough ) and prefer to wear them layered under coats, jackets and other sweaters.

I did however, have one similar to yours years ago I’d wear over a T-shirt or skivvy ( the poloneck shirt kind, not American slang for undies :) ) to good effect :)

Nothing beats a nice thick turtleneck!!! I wear them all the time!!! I love the looks I get from people when it’s 80 degrees out and I’m wearing one!!!! I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t love them!!!!
