I attribute my love for personal style to my mom, and she's taught me many life lessons through her relationship with clothes.


Lesson #1: clothes are a tool of expression.

Lesson #2 : everything comes back in style.


I used to make fun of her for wearing turtlenecks because I didn't believe modesty would ever be cool. Now, I'm 29 and turtlenecks are a staple in my closet. What's the saying? Like mother, like daughter?


As always, Mom was right. If you follow me on Instagram, you've seen me wear a lilac turtleneck. It's actually my mother's, haha.


While her personal style is different than mine, my mom knew a turtleneck provided opportunities for versatility, modesty, and layering. Over the last few years, I've purchased multiple turtlenecks from thrift and secondhand shops, curating a collection of colors, textures, and patterns. As I style looks, I've taken this knowledge and made it my own.


Here's how I've made the most of my turtleneck collection:


...under a sweater.



...under a blazer.




...under a cardigan.


...under a dress.



...under a jumpsuit.


What's your favorite way to style a turtleneck?
