This Boring Basic Is the Unsung Hero of Your Fall Wardrobe

When it comes to a winning marriage of chic and cozy, nothing beats the turtleneck. While the wintery sweater may not exactly be the first item you gravitate toward when you want to pull together a fashion-forward look (it’s had a bad rap in the past for being too bulky and bookish), the tried-and-true staple should by no means be overlooked this cold-weather season.

Turtlenecks are without a doubt the unsung hero of our cold-weather wardrobes. Whether you opt for a thick, chunky sweater or a tissue-thin form-fitted turtleneck to layer, they unquestionably add an air of sophistication to every outfit. A simple black turtleneck is striking in its simplicity; when worn in a colorful print or color, it can add a bold statement to your outfit.

There are a myriad of ways to wear them this season—a simple beige or black turtleneck looks gorgeous when paired with a trending chain-link necklace or statement drop earrings—taking you easily into the night in style. Add a turtleneck under a button-down shirt and pair with wide-leg trousers for a chic work look, or layer a thin one under a slip dress for a night out. However you wear it, there’s something uniquely powerful about a turtleneck, and you’ll never regret buying one. Scroll below to see how cool girls are wearing theirs right now and shop our favorites on the market.

Style Notes: For a minimal-chic look, pair a fitted oatmeal hued turtleneck with a sleek high-waisted midi skirt and barely there sandals (or leather knee-high boots when the temps start to drop).

Style Notes: A simple black turtleneck can act as the ideal backdrop to statement pieces, such as a bold coat or plaid pants. Black and tan hues pair beautifully and are perfect for the season.

Style Notes: Opt for a pop of color to add a vibrant touch to your wintery outfit. A head-turning orange or hot pink hue paired with neutral beige or brown will do the trick.

Style Notes: Turtlenecks are the perfect layering piece. Wear as the base layer under a button-down shirt (worn slightly open) and finish with a long coat to keep the look interesting and elevated.
Style Notes: Let your turtleneck pop with the addition of bold jewelry such as a chain-link collar necklace or statement drop earrings. 
Style Notes: Get more longevity from your utility jumpsuit this winter by layering a colorful turtleneck underneath it. A pastel blue hue pairs particularly well with beige.
Style Notes: Mix textures. Try a turtleneck with a mixed woven texture and wear with other plush fabrics, such as shearling and corduroy.
Style Notes: Simply add a mini. Turtlenecks are a modest coverup and balance perfectly with a contrasting shorter skirt. Finish the look with heavy-duty combat boots for an of-the-moment outfit.
Turn heads in this trending hot-pink number.
We love the subtle cable knit yoke detailing on this super cozy sweater.
This ribbed khaki green turtleneck will look chic paired with high-waisted trousers for work.
This lilac hue will look so pretty paired with grys, browns, and neutrals.
It's not winter without at least one Fair Isle sweater! Bonus: They're trending hard this season.
So easy to dress up or down.
Wear with matching cream wide-leg trousers for a very sophisticated (and expensive-looking) outfit.
Don't be afraid of a fun floral print. Just add high waisted jeans for a vintage-inspired look.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
