What every woman of different body shapes should know about the turtleneck sweater

First off, the classic, mock, and cowl neckline are the three common types a women’s turtleneck sweater will come in.  Unlike crewneck, v neck, pullover, cardigan, and vests, the turtleneck has a unique style all its own.

A turtleneck sweater is perfect for the coldest of days because it will keep your neck warm with an extra layer of thickness.  You can still wear a scarf over your turtleneck if you wish and it will look great. 

Women in turtlenecks with strong shoulders look good because the turtleneck itself will help give you a wider look with a brighter color. If you want to tone it down in shoulder town then go with a dark turtleneck sweater or a busy print with a skirt with a bit of fluff or volume.  In colder weather add a pair of tights to keep your legs warm.  This is a great way to dress if you have an inverted triangle shape because the skirt will help widen you at the bottom and balance out your shoulders.

If you are a pear shaped lady, you’ll want to try to find a black cashmere turtleneck with stripes that draw the eyes up toward the top.  Add a statement necklace, pin up your hair, and put a pair of earrings on to help.

For an apple shaped figure you’ll want to find a turtleneck sweater that helps flatter your figure instead of bringing attention to your mid-section.  You’ll find that layering a long turtleneck sweater dress leaving the collar and cuffs poke out from under a sleeveless dress or overcoat helps draw more attention to those areas than your torso.

Lastly, if you are a skinny woman the best type of turtleneck sweater you can find are oversized turtleneck sweaters. A nice navy turtleneck sweater that is oversized is stylish and trendy.  Wear it with leggings, tights, or tucked into a pair of ripped jeans.  Boots with leggings and heels with jeans and rolled up cuffs looks great on a skinny woman.
