Why is a turtleneck the main thing in a basic wardrobe?

In the era of the popularity of male chic, the active phase of fashion reincarnation is experienced by turtlenecks – skinny sweaters with stand-up collars. The peak of their popularity fell on the 70s, and since layered clothing remains fashionable in the autumn-winter 2017-2018 season, it is not surprising that turtlenecks again took their place in the basic wardrobe sets of all fashionistas. They help not only to make the everyday look diverse, but also allow you to keep warm in the cold. And this is just right!

Eminent designers do not hide their joy about the return of turtlenecks to fashion, because from the very beginning of its appearance this wardrobe item was associated with intellect and mystery. For the first time, thin tight sweaters were worn by military pilots and racing drivers. Marlene Dietrich, a lover of masculine style, strict looks, dimensionless jackets and extended trousers, adopted the habit of wearing a turtleneck everywhere. Then Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, Catherine Deneuve, the famous Beatles, Steve Jobs and other stars began to appear in turtlenecks.

So, what can be combined with a turtleneck to be stylish and fashionable even in the cold season.

Combined with a dress

A turtleneck and a – dress are seemingly two completely different things that cannot be used in the same look. But if you use in combination with a turtleneck a model of a combination dress, a sundress with thin spaghetti straps, a light dress made of chiffon or silk, as well as a warm office version made of dense material, then this will be an ideal option. The only thing that is important –    the dress has a loose fit or a-line shape and sleeves.
