You don't want to think about layering right now, and why would you? You have three blissful weekends of summer left before LD (that's Labor Day to normal people — but to us, it's Layering Day). After tackling fall's most important essential, the leather moto jacket, the fashion number-crunchers over at Rank & Style have come to our rescue again, this time compiling the 10 best lightweight turtlenecks the internet has to offer. Taking home the prize this round is Splendid, with its 1x1 turtleneck long-sleeved shirt.
Whether used for layering purposes or styled on its own, a really good turtleneck has to not only be light and breathable; it's got to be warm, too. Blended with Supima cotton and modal, Splendid's lightweight turtleneck comes in array of basic colors versatile enough to wear under just about anything — which will also help you extend the life of your beloved summer pieces (and keep your sunny-day delusions running free for just a couple more months.)
It's not too difficult to see why so many people have fallen for Splendid's snug top, which was selected based on its best-selling status and rave reviews. One happy buyer from Shopbop comments, "This delivers exactly what it promises. The fit, length, feel, and price are just right. This is a staple in any cool-weather wardrobe, but isn't heavy or bulky."
While letting summer go is never easy, fall is the best buffer before the real bundling-up begins. Until then, dress your basic fall turtlenecks up or down — with statement jewelry under $100 or denim skirts. Bonus points if you pair the turtleneck with sheer tights and top it off with a saddle bag for a real "I'm Not Scared Of You, Fall" statement.
