The words ‘turtle neck jumper’ may make you recoil with the memory of an awful, uncomfortable Christmas present but done right, this simple item combines elegance and comfort with ease. Whether it’s cropped, sleeveless, oversized, ribbed, soft or fitted, this look is a wardrobe classic. The long-necked jumper is widely available in high street shops and is a growing fashion favourite, but it’s not just a winter trend; it’s a cult classic. Block colours of grey or black cashmere have long been a favourite of style icons such as Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy.
This timeless piece seems to exude a sense of being both casual and sophisticated- the ultimate student combination.
If you need a modern muse perhaps you can take your lead from Karlie Kloss, Alexa Chung or Taylor Swift?
It’s perfect for the chill of Lancaster weather, who knew the epitome of chic could also keep you warm when you’re running down the Spine?
