How to Buy a Turtleneck Sweater

    Golden apple Secure atleast one cotton (not too thin yet not too thick) turtleneck sweater in solid black

    It will blend well with what's in your wardrobe. And it looks slimming on all shapes!

    Already own one in black? Then feel free to choose other colors like purple, red, mustard yellow, khaki and grey which are popular fall and winter colors.


    Golden apple Pick the right hemline length for your height and not least your body shape

    Why? The wrong hem length can mess up your body frame. Your goal is to create a long, lean and balanced silhouette. If you're already very skinny then do not attempt to wear super-chunky turtleneck dresses to appear curvier. It will do the exact opposite, swallowing you up or in worst case, mkae you look skinnier in comparison. Instead, opt for turtlenecks with a nipped waist and/or flare hem.

    Longer, tunic-like turtleneck sweaters will look best on taller women, so if you're petite go for thigh length sweaters or shorter.

      fashion tip Note: If you're bottom-heavy (pear body shape) avoid long sweaters that hit your hips because it can make you look more heavier around that area. Stick to a shorter cut to balance out your frame by "filling out" your upper half which is your narrowest part. This will make your hips and butt look slimmer.

    On the other hand, if you're a woman with a fuller or wider top, a turtleneck that has a longer hem with a sight flare will help give your figure more curves ar the hip-area.

    Also, if you have a short waist, choose turtleneck hemlines that fall down to your hips. Or if you have a long waist, opt for regular or shorter hemlines.

    Golden apple Be careful with turtlenecks if you have a round or wide face shape

    Because they can emphasize the shape. My tip is to wear a couple of long earrings or/and long necklace with or without a vertical pendant to visually create a narrower face.

    Golden apple If you've fallen in love with a turtleneck and want it to last

    Choose a turtleneck with quality fabrics such as cashmere, merino wool blend or cotton-lycra-blend (slightly stretchy). Note: The fabrics mentioned are less itchy and scratchy than pure wool, lessening the irritation on your sensitive neck area. The stretch will also produce a comfortable and flattering fit.

    Golden apple If your office work code requires you to dress sophisticated

    ... but you still want to look chic, pick a turtleneck sweater with short and/or puffed sleeves. For instant trendiness and fabulous and feminine silhouette wrap a black or dark brown wide belt around your waist. Or even better, add a nice statement necklace.
