The '90s-Inspired Velour Turtlenecks We Love
Our editors love a great throwback piece, especially if it's giving us major '90s vibes—one of our favorite decades to look at for style inspiration at the moment. This season the return of the velour turtleneck has got our attention and for good reason. The textured top makes a great addition to any winter wardrobe whether for work or play. It's also not only perfect for layering into everyday looks, it's a great piece to incorporate into a holiday outfit as well. Needless to say, we love an effortless top to mix and match.
Funny enough the styling is not that much different than it was back in the '90s. For a more casual ensemble, layer a velour turtleneck under a checked blazer, then complete the look with high-waisted jeans like Levi's Wedgie Icon Jeans (we told you we love the decade), and stylish loafers. As for a dressier take that can carry you from the office to date night, try wearing the top with a pair of leather culotte-style pants and elevated mule heels. For any upcoming holiday festivities, the velour turtleneck would look amazing with a statement skirt and thick tights that add warmth along with a pair of sleek ankle boots. Either way, the piece is so versatile, it's hard to wrong no matter the combination.
