Changes in the way a turtleneck is adapted into an item of clothing are also apparent. A turtleneck mini dress like Emma Roberts’ is a sophisticated way to show off skin, and a sleeveless turtleneck like the one Kristin Cavallari wore to one of Bebe’s collection previews is sexy and simple.

Breaking the look up is also important Louis Vuitton Handbags, especially for us girls with larger chests. While this may just involve a print or two thrown into the look for some, turtlenecks are utterly unwearable for others unless worn creatively Coach Factory Outlet, such as under a dress or a vest.
