Turtlenecks or Mocks?

Ana- I have lived in the U.S. long enough to have made turtle necks part of my wardrobe. Viejas, I have learned turtle necks are not my friends anymore in my quest for a dignified style. As you may have discovered first had, the skin in your neck will get very delicate. A tight turtleneck (specially one made of thick synthetic materials) will feel like a chocker and will add unnecessary texture to your neck. My new preferred style of turtlenecks are loose around my neck, made of a cotton blend- so it feels soft around my delicate mature skin, and spandex- so it holds its structure. Viejas do not let wearing a turtleneck become torture; keep looking beautiful and elegant in them.

Corina- I am not a fan of turtlenecks, although I do own a couple of loose ones. I can agree that they are versatile and a wardrobe staple, but I do not find them comfortable or flattering on me. I prefer the mock neck which is the same concept without the extra fabric around the neck. I do not wear mock necks year- round although depending on the fabric and sleeves many people do. I wear mine mostly in the fall or winter as a layer under blazers, jackets and sometimes under dresses. I like solid colors for a classic look and a bold print for a "fun" look.
