Turtlenecks are a hallmark of winter. The only problem is that they spend most of the season all covered up with only their collars allowed to bask in the sun, er, snow. Which is why you should be looking for turtlenecks with something special up top. That way they'll still make a strong statement even layered under all of your very necessary layers.
For this shopping roundup, we're including both sweaters and more traditional tops. Because regardless, they'll still be at least the second layer hidden under your coat. So what makes for a strong collar showing? Well, texture tops the list. From exposed seams to crinkled satin and even faux fish scales a la Bottega Veneta, as long as that character extends to the collar, they're all good ways to go.
See-through is also encouraged since you're already planning on (partially) covering up. Whether it's in the form of perforations, cut-outs or simply sheer material, you'll definitely need to slip on something underneath. Good news, though. You can leave the revealing necklines intact.
A bold pattern also works wonders. Even if the print is featured all over not just on the top. As long as you're not sporting a matching jacket, it still gets the job done. COS has a great tortoiseshell design, while MM6 Maison Margiela's starry motif is truly otherworldly. Leave it to Jean Paul Gaultier to design a moody, graphic decoration over a semi-sheer base.
On the price front, this is definitely a scenario where designers have more to offer. Be prepared to pay the price to make a proper presentation. Although some fashion house creations are less than you might expect. Like Diesel's two-tone top for $150 and Bevza's sweater vest at $306.
Ready to stake your claim on the flashiest turtlenecks currently on the market? Great. Keep reading to discover which ones will put a little pep into your winter wardrobe. Warning: You're probably going to want to buy several so make sure you know how much you can afford to spend before going any further.
