Looking for a versatile top to go with everything in your fall closet? Kelly Clarkson has you covered.
On a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the singer and talk show host wore a slim-fit long-sleeved black turtleneck with a brown pleated maxi skirt, a black belt, and black strappy platform sandals.
A black turtleneck is a practical yet sophisticated wardrobe staple that can be worn alone or layered under a sweater or jacket. Clarkson isn’t the only celebrity wearing this style. Taylor Swift paired a black turtleneck with a Miu Miu tartan miniskirt and brown knee-high boots, Gwyneth Paltrow added a black turtleneck to her all-black ensemble, and Pamela Anderson layered a lightweight black turtleneck sweater over slim pants.
To get an idea of the look, we’ve rounded up a variety of black turtleneck sweaters and tops starting at $18 on Amazon from brands like Lands’ End, Splendid, and Joe’s Jean.
