Let's be honest for a second. As much as we all love to wear the latest trends, there are times when keeping up with what's "new" can feel like a never-ending marathon. Sometimes, you need a second to catch your breath and keep it simple—hence, the need for an arsenal of wardrobe staples. After all, you can't survive those cold-weather fronts without a few basics. While most may think of coats or even boots as that hero piece, one particular staple is vastly underrated: turtleneck sweaters.
Sure, this is "boring" compared to colorful sweaters or trendy cold-weather pieces, but still, it's worth investing in. Turtleneck sweaters can be worn throughout the fall, winter, and spring. They've got versatility and longevity, and most importantly, they're backed by the fashion set. From Paris to New York to London and Milan, this essential is beloved by the fashion set for its ability to add that It factor to any ensemble. And to prove the power of this staple, I've rounded up 24 turtleneck outfit ideas and shopped out the best sweaters at every price point. Whether you need convincing about this staple or are searching for new ways to style your beloved sweater, I've got you covered.
