How to wear a turtleneck 3 different ways
Have you written off the turtleneck as a frumpy sweater reserved for chilly winter nights curled up on the sofa? Think again. The runways—and editors and bloggers at the shows—demonstrated how stylish this cold-weather staple can be. Major designers such as Alexander Wang, Prabal Gurung, Altuzarra and Thakoon showcased both fine-knit and chunky cable turtlenecks. Still feeling skeptical? Here are three stylish ways to work a turtleneck into your existing wardrobe this fall.
1. The lightweight version.
Funnel collar top, $50, zara.com.
Styling tip: If you're looking to use a turtleneck as the backbone of a layered look, choose a lightweight, body-conscious knit, such as this one from Zara (above). Think of it as a new version of a button-down shirt. It's a versatile layering piece that works under pretty much anything. Try it beneath a summer dress for a seasonless update.

2. The classic version.
