Celeb Style: Elle Macpherson

FabSugar — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 12:00:05 PST

When the temperature drops, it's tempting to throw on a pair of sweats and call it a day, but Elle Macpherson proves that warmth and style can go hand in hand. She looked chic and snug in a cozy cashmere turtleneck ($68), jean leggings, and cute leopard ballet flats ($66). But the pièce de résistance is definitely her long, fur-trimmed puffer coat ($120, originally $265). Click the items above to shop a similar style.

Do You Wear Necklaces Over Turtlenecks?

Fab Tip: Lengthen Your (Turtle)Neck

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 12:00:22 PST

Raise your hand if you want to elongate your neck. Turtlenecks, like this Michael Stars Stripe Turtleneck ($48), are the way to make a short neck appear longer. But feel me on this: many turtlenecks are designed such that when you fold the neck out, it doesn't cover your entire neck - see left. Or, if you leave it unfolded, it sags and looks funny. If, like me, you've experienced that problem, I have a solution.

To see what trick I use to lengthen my neck,

read more. I was recently playing around with my turtleneck tops, trying to find a way to elongate my neck as much as possible. Instead of folding the neck part out, like it's normally done, I pulled it up my neck and folded it in. This simple solution allows me to cover my entire neck with the turtleneck, thus making it appear longer. At the same time, it makes the turtleneck more polished because it eliminates the line you get when you fold the turtleneck out. See examples below. (L: Tucked out, R: Tucked in)

Trend Alert: Top Your Turtleneck

FabSugar — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 06:00:22 PST

Like artwork, jewelry needs a nice backdrop. To make a sizzling statement, look to Natasha Bedingfield for inspiration and top your turtleneck. Layering a bold necklace over a nondescript turtleneck gives you high impact without breaking the bank. And, it's a cozy chic look. The key to getting this right is keeping the rest of your outfit simple so your jewels can shine against their cloth canvas.

The Look For Less: Black Turtleneck Dress

FabSugar — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 07:00:22 PST

Turtleneck dresses are the ideal way to look feminine and cozy. Paired with tights, they provide full protection from the cold. Many styles and colors are available, like this Magaschoni Turtleneck Mini Dress ($198, originally $284). Even with the discount, it's still too pricey in my book.

To see the look for less,

read more C & C California's Desiree Turtleneck Dress ($88) is the perfect alternative to more expensive styles. It will protect you from the cold just as well as the one above, and it's much nicer on your wallet. Plus, it's 100 percent cotton, which means it won't itch and scratch. Good deal!
