Quick Style Update: Turtleneck T-Shirt

Fashion - By Alexandra Stedman
T-shirt, £20, River Island. Skirt: £35, Oasis. Sandals: £68, River Island. Suitcase: £169, Kipling. Sunglasses: £20, Toyshades.

Being slow on the A/W bandwagon, I’m easing myself in gently. I can’t quite bring myself to crack open my winter suitcase just yet, neither do I want to put on my new oversized knits just yet (even if the weather demands it).

This is a trend I’m seeing everywhere, and it’s so easy to achieve on the High Street. The stripe t-shirt, in general, is a trend – in a 70s, ‘Peanuts’ kind of way (Peanuts is a whole trend in itself, but I’ll come to that another time)…but if you find one with the added high neck? A bonus. 

Cotton ‘Not Ordinary’ t-shirt: £20, River Island

This t-shirt satisfies my two loves – stripes and logos. Wear with an A-line skirt now and with next season’s pinafore dress for that September ‘not sure what season we’re in’ moment (we’re still loving dungarees but it has morphed into a chicer silhouette).

Suede pinafore dress, £125, Another Eight
£28, Dorothy Perkins

Roll-necks, polo-necks, turtlenecks (to be honest, I’m not definite on the distinction here – are turtlenecks a smaller version of a poloneck?) – whatever you want to call them, high necks are in. Time to even add a ‘neck’ to your evening dresses – it will be your signature A/W Look, I promise. My style, currently, is in the form of a more relaxed t-shirt, as I said, I like to easy myself in gently…

    YAY to high necks/roll necks/polo necks – I adore them. Hadn't really ever considered a tshirt high neck before but I like it, I like it a lot!

    Don't worry I'm slow on the a/w bandwagon too. I'm in denial! Some great pieces here though x

      This weather is so tricksy at this time of year, too. I want to embrace A/W but only with short sleeves…

      Noooo! Agree though, these trends won't always suit everyone – I was never blessed with boobs sadly, so always go for boyish looks!

    I've been eyeing up the TS dungaree dress for a while. What happens when it gets to tights weather though? Still acceptable to pair with tights? Victoria x

      Totally! I'm thinking tights and a chunky sandal and an oversized cardigan? Or a poloneck underneath? x
