It’s that time of year where I find myself grabbing the same things to wear when I get dressed. Call it a cold-weather staple — or year-round for that matter — but a fitted turtle or mock neck is my absolute favorite top to own. I have one in just about every neutral color and I love how they offer an effortless, sophisticated look every time.

Mockneck or Turtleneck?

I tend to use the words interchangeably, but to be clear turtlenecks have necks that are often able to be folded whereas mocknecks have necks that simply do not fold. Both give a polished feel. I love curating an assortment in sleeve and waist-length — sleeveless, longer cap-sleeved, longsleeve and bodysuit.

How to Wear

I like to style my mockneck and turtleneck tops alone tucked into denim or trousers, under a blazer, under a cardigan or crewneck. I tend to keep these in my closet year-round to use as a base layer — which is why I tend to buy those that range from thickness and warmth. An easy way to dress up any simple basic is to add minimal jewelry — as you’ll see I did here.
