I certify that I do not send unwanted e-mailsA flagship piece for nerds, and best friend during the winter season, the turtleneck sweater is undeniably timeless. It rhymes with sophistication and comfort – two entities that are supposed to be opposites, but which marry wonderfully thanks to this piece of mesh.Casually, the turtleneck sweater - favorite garment of the Café de Flore intelligentsia and jazz musicians of the 1950s - is one of the most versatile pieces you can have in your wardrobe. Regardless of the season, the turtleneck sweater is THE centerpiece to take out of the closet when the cold is at the rendezvous. It can be worn thick or thin, loose and voluminous or well adjusted and close to the body.
Not only does it add a sophisticated touch to any outfit - when paired with simple blue jeans or a skirt, for example - but it can also be worn underneath another outfit in its own right. Do you have a spaghetti strap dress from the 90s that you don't dare to wear as it is anymore? Just slip a fitted turtleneck underneath to bring it to life in a whole new way. The same goes for overalls and even shirts that aren't warm enough to wear on their own in cold weather.

Made in shades of nude, this type of turtleneck sweater stands out thanks to a fitted and feminine cut that goes perfectly with high-waisted pants or high-waisted skirts in earthy hues.

It's the winter piece that comes to give a boost to our wardrobe. Whether smooth and chunky, or twisted, mottled, or even with a jacquard pattern, this thick and oversized XXL version of the turtleneck sweater is not only a timeless trend, as Victoria Magrath proves, but it is flattering for all the morphologies.
Be careful with turtleneck sweaters made of synthetic material: they may bother you if they are worn next to the skin. It is therefore better to opt for natural fibers, such as cashmere, or even pure new wool or 100% merino.

GettyThere's nothing like an ultra-cozy turtleneck sweater to spend the end of winter warm while waiting for spring! This is what Jennifer Aniston said to herself who, hidden behind her Ray Bans, wanted to go incognito during a shopping session in Los Angeles last January. In order to escape the paparazzi (which clearly didn't work, but let's move on), Jennifer kept it simple by wearing a gray turtleneck sweater with a matching t-shirt underneath - for a bit more comfort - with black jeans and a pair of sneakers. This type of cozy cashmere and silk turtleneck is just the perfect companion for an evening of Netflix and chill — him and Brad Pitt.
