OOTD| Turtle neck

Cream turtle neck jumper| £24.99| New Look

I will be the first person to admit that I used to absolutely hate anything remotely turtle neck, I just always associated them with the older woman who was trying to disguise a wrinkling neck. Even when they came into fashion at the end of last year, I really struggled to understand how or why that had even happened! 

However I now have a huge obsession with them! I have a jumper, long sleeved top, and two crop tops already which are turtle necks, would you believe it?! Anyway, I picked up this jumper from New Look a couple of months ago, I absolutely love it! The material is really thick and so warm, perfect for this time of year, and the turtle neck makes it super cosy. However the only thing I would say is that even though it isn't actually a cropped jumper, it has a tendency to ride up a little which can be annoying! For a mere £24.99 though this will make a cosy jumper that you can pull out of your wardrobe every winter! 

I teamed my turtle neck jumper with Topshop Jamie ripped jeans, yes I know my ripped jeans are a little out of season, but everyone else is still wearing them and they are still hugely on trend at the moment so why not? I also wore some suede heeled ankle boots which I am totally obsessed with right now (also from New Look, £29.99), a burgundy tartan River Island scarf (£15.00) and my trusty Topshop leather jacket (£45), a perfect cosy Winter outfit! 

What do you think of the turtle neck trend, do you love it or hate it? Do you own a turtle neck? Leave me a comment below! :)

  2. Haha, I used to hate turtle/polo necks too. I used to think they were not fashionable at all! But now I'm drawn to them, I've yet to buy one though! x

  3. I've always loved a good turtle neck. Mostly because I'm always cold, haha.

  4. That lipstick shade is so natural and pretty :) Nude-y pinks are always a yes for me! You look great in that turtleneck as well! I am so jealous because I have such a short neck that I can never pull off a turtleneck-haha

    1. Aw thank you! It's a cranberry lip balm from the body shop :) and ahh perhaps try a turtle neck top instead? Might be more flattering! :) x

  5. This jumper looks so cosy! Turtle necks have been out of fashion for so long, but I'm so happy they're back! I really need to get one for what's left of winter!
