Turtlenecks are cool again (no, seriously!)

 

When's the last time you wore a turtleneck? If you're like us, it was probably around the same time you were rocking iron-on kitten tees and butterfly barrettes—and you've sworn to never don another until you're in full-on Mom mode. Well, we've got news for you: Turtlenecks are back. The 90s fashion staple is having a major moment, and we couldn't be more surprised...or into it! Scroll through for a look at the coolest new 'neck styles (and to find out how to work them into your wardrobe).

    The chunky cable knit

    This is basically a beginner's turtleneck—cool, classic and, honestly, not all that different from a normal sweater. Pair it with dark wash skinnies and your favorite brown boots for a casual-chic look.

     The classic

    So simple, yet *so* intimidating—but we promise it's easier to pull off than you think. Just adding skinnies can look a little too streamlined, so think about adding a puffy or faux-fur vest for texture, or try a pretty party bottom (like these stunners HERE).

     The casual cowl

    The best part about this turtle? It's a dress and a scarf all at once, so you can keep accessorizing to a minimum. Dress it up with tights and a fitted jacket (heels optional) or down with leggings, fuzzy boots and a cable-knit cardigan.

    The fabulously fuzzy

    This style is basically wearable snuggling—but be careful. Pairing it with just jeans could look a little juvenile, so we suggest taking a cue from the model and rocking it with a textured mini. Executed correctly, your cool girl vibes will be off the charts.

    The textured crop

    Don't fear the velvet! A long-sleeved crop is a unique take on traditional holiday fashion, and the luxe fabric is just plain fancy. Wear it with a high-waisted pencil skirt for a prim'n'pretty look.
