The Turtleneck Comeback

Everyone from Philip Lim to J. Crew is featuring turtlenecks as a must-have. Seen on the fall fashion runways, the turtleneck is having more than just a "fashion moment."

HarpersBazaar.com showcased the photo above in a feature on Pre-Fall Trends, highlighting how three major designers each styled the turtleneck: under a jacket at 3.1 Phillip Lim (left); under dress at Missoni (middle) and under a trench at Erdem (right).

Penelope Cruz, W Magazine Sept issue

You can wear your turtlenecks standing alone like Penelope Cruz did above on the W Magazine September cover. Cruz was styled in a Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci stretch wool turtleneck with an incredible 18k gold-plate and lapis Lynn Ban statement necklace.

Or you can wear the turtleneck as an underpinning, as shown on the designer runways featured above. This can be a great way to extend your wardrobe and transition your summer pieces into fall, which is something we blogged about the other day.

For example, the turtleneck was shown under sleeveless dresses, as shown on the J. Crew runway:

FABSUGAR has an entire feature entitled, "Celebrities Wearing Turtlenecks 2012," which highlights how 7 stars did a spin on the turtleneck in 7 different ways to kick off the fall season, with everyone from the ever fashionable Kate Middleton in an olive green turtleneck dress cinched with a black belt to Gwen Stefani in a printed turtleck under a leather jacket with skinny jeans. Check it out for some style inspiration.

Shop your closet (or your mom's or daughter's!) right now for this fall staple.
