Winter is approaching and the wardrobe is once again filling up with garments designed specifically for the coldest time of the year. Making space in the closet is the turtleneck, a much-loved piece of women's knitwear that never goes out of style, capable of reinventing itself every year among women's fashion trends.
The turtleneck is distinguished by its high collar, which allows you to protect yourself from the cold while choosing a trendy garment to pair for creating both formal and informal looks: an excellent solution for those who suffer on windy days but want to maintain a certain style. Together with Artigli, a brand full of women's clothing proposals, let's discover how to wear and style the turtleneck.
Turtleneck, the high-neck sweater that's always on-trend
This type of knitwear garment was created to meet the needs of those who worked in very windy environments and could not wear a scarf.
Think of sailors, fishermen, but also those who worked in mountain areas without being able to use bulky clothing to protect themselves from the cold.
The turtleneck started as a purely men's fashion item, but it has been introduced into the female wardrobe since the fifties, appreciated by women of all ages.
The turtleneck takes its name from Fellini's famous film and presents itself as a valid alternative to the sweater.
Over the years, it has enjoyed considerable success, becoming one of the essential basic items for a truly complete wardrobe.
It fits close to the body, has a high collar that can be folded over itself, and can have short, three-quarter, or long sleeves.
What makes the difference is the type of collar, which can be soft and long or short and tight, or even foldable multiple times.
Who does the turtleneck look good on? Being a high-neck knit garment, the risk is that it highlights this area of the body.
This type of sweater looks very good on those with a normal-sized neck.
Advised against for a neck that is too short, it helps hide extra inches in the case of a particularly long neck.
