Turtlenecks are a closet staple for anyone who dares to venture outside once temperatures really begin to drop. Get a jump on this winter closet staple and check out the following cozy turtleneck sweaters.

1. Bebe Turtleneck Sweater

Who says turtlenecks can’t be sexy? This turtleneck originally comes from Bebe (and is now at ThredUp) and features a sexy slit up its back, and a subtle peek-a-boo pattern. Wear this under a faux leather jacket (and paired with a sexy skirt and boots) to stay snugly while out on a date. Priced at $16.49.

2. Moda International Turtleneck Sweater

Sometimes you need a sweater with pockets. Where else can you store your phone, emergency snacks, and tissues whilst binge watching your favorite show on Netflix? This sweater also comes from ThredUp and is priced at $8.99. We really love its red hue and button-up turtleneck.

3. Ann Taylor LOFT Turtleneck Sweater

If you like to keep your arms free and clear of any obstruction (aka sleeves), this is the turtleneck for you. It features 3/4-length sleeves and a billowy neck. Perfect for the office that just can’t seem to maintain a warm or cold temperature. Priced at $17.49 from ThredUp.

4. Twisted Cable Turtleneck

This shirt maintains its place among the ranks of cozy turtleneck sweaters because of its slouchy fit. But it’s this sweater’s structure that also makes it subtly sensual. Pair with jeans or leggings – whatever suits you. Priced at $108 from Free People.

5. Cozy Cable Cape

If you’re looking for a turtleneck sweater that is totally different from all the rest, this is the one you need to invest in. (And we say invest in because it’s pricey.) This alpaca cozy cable cape is really cute and perfect for staying warm and stylish at the same time. Priced at $230 from Free People.

The pullover with a high collared neck still has a powerful allure that communicates, “I’m different.”

The Gap revived this imagery in their 2006 “Keep It Simple” Campaign.

More familiar to the British as a polo neck, English polo players first wore turtlenecks in the 1860s. Their adoption by Noel Coward in the 1920s turned turtlenecks into a middle-class fashion trend, and early feminists made them into a unisex item. Since the middle of the 20th century black polo necks have been identified as the uniform of radical academics, philosophers, artists and intellectuals.

Stone memorably paired a gray mock turtleneck from the Gap with a Valentino skirt and Armani jacket for the 1996 Oscars.

As an anti-tie, smart form of dress for those who reject formal wear, the turtleneck – also available in a simpler variant as a mock turtle neck – was surely a deliberate fashion choice made by Apple visionary, Steve Jobs. Communicating a desire to stand apart from others, his ubiquitous black turtleneck became an essential part of his uniform as the leader of those who think different.

Jil Sander Turtleneck Sweater, Céline Leather Strap Bag

Enjoying a revival this season, the winter staple was seen anchoring looks on the runways of Ralph Lauren, Celine and Jil Sander. A fantastic layering piece for when you want to wear dresses year round. They’re at their best worn with skinny jeans, slim fit trousers or a pencil skirt. In this age of so-called fashion democratization, the pullover with a high collared neck still has a powerful allure that communicates, “I’m different.”

Forget the muted tones, embrace fall in all its splendor.

It’s going to be a red hot fall, at least inside our closets. Red, in hues ranging from dark rust to neon-bright, is one of the hottest colors right now, and will also carry nicely into the spring. If you want to be really daring and on-trend, wear red from head to toe. You’ll be guaranteed to turn some heads.

We love this genius convertible dress, which will work double or triple duty as it transforms into different shapes. The ladylike handbag, poncho, fitted turtleneck, cable knit sweater, and flat boot are all key pieces for the fall. Being fashionable hasn’t been this comfy and cozy in a long time.
