Funnel, turtle, mock, polo, roll or even skivvy whatever the heck type of neck you call it – it’s here to stay in 2015.
The 70s inspired runway collections have brought it back bigger than Boogie Nights. But how do you go there without looking like an extra from The Brady Bunch ? Never fear – there is a high neck that will work for your body and style.
My 4 Styling Tips
* Layer them under denim dungarees, sleeveless vests, dresses & add leather for a modern everyday look.
* Bodyshape wise if you are bigger or busty up top – opt for funnel versions or keep as much of your neck showing as possible to give length.
* Experiment with your work, weekend and evening wardrobe, accessories & shoes to see the myriad of combinations possible.
* Look on Pinterest and type in #funnelneck #turtleneck #streetstyle for more outfit inspiration or follow my Pinterest Board How to Wear Funnel Necks.
