If style were a race, a high-neck top would win.
Celebrities are really in the thralls of them right now. Cameron Diaz and Julianne Moore each gave black turtlenecks a moment in the spotlight this month when they both wore them for conversations on stage — more buttoned-up work events than a classic red carpet. For her opening night of Our Town, Katie Holmes had on a near-$700 Heirlome mock neck top (which is like a turtleneck without the extra fabric folding over the collar).
Jennifer Lopez and Reese Witherspoon also put us on turtlenecks late last year and in early 2024, respectively. Laura Dern then stepped out in a pink one late this September, while some celebs have sported twists on the classic style with sleeveless sweaters, maxi dresses, and turtleneck crop tops.
Rather than hop on short-lived trends that disappear almost as quickly as they come, consider turtlenecks: lasting staples that have yet to fail us or anyone we’ve ever seen wearing one. They look clean and elevated while feeling warm, and piece-mealing an outfit together with one takes little effort.

Black Turtlenecks Inspired by Celebrities
Herou Slim-Fitted Turtleneck Top
Shoppers had much to say about this now-$12 top. One said it “feels like butter” while another likened it to “silk.” And since it has a tighter fit, it can be paired underneath a more revealing corset-style top or any other arm-baring shirt.
Justfashionnow Turtleneck Tunic Top
Here at PEOPLE shopping, we take comfort seriously. So, a longer option like this tunic top that covers our bottoms can offer a cozier feel than other options. It also falls a little more freely than options that fit like a second skin, so it’s ideal for long periods of wear.
Lands’ End Silk Interlock Turtleneck Top
This turtleneck from Lands’ End is made out of 100 percent silk, which has a major advantage: It has a little glossy and shiny finish, just like the one Holmes wore. Its delicate fabric can still be machine washed at home like most of your other garments, or put in a delicates bag if you prefer to be extra safe. The brand also notes that the neckline can be folded over or styled in an intentionally bunched-up way that gives off a more casual and cool vibe.
