THE NEW KNITWEAR NECKLINE TO SHELL OUT FOR

Versatile, flattering, stylish – the ‘half turtle’ is the perfect piece for tackling chilly spring days

I’m going to stick my neck out, literally and figuratively, and say this is my new favourite sweater shape. Whether you call it the half turtle, high neck or half roll, it’s the perfect halfway house between a full roll and a crew neck for when there’s a nip in the air but it’s not utterly freezing. Perfect for the commute – no wrestling with a scarf here – the shape suits almost every body and face shape so you can be sure you can pull it off when pulling it on. We don’t normally do things by halves, but you’ll be glad on this occasion we did.
