Class to Night Out: Turtleneck Dress

Give those plunging necklines a break with these fall staple dresses

Do you struggle with transforming your outfits from day to night? Don’t worry, CF is here to help turn that daily annoyance into a fun challenge.Class to Night Out focuses on one piece per week, and aims to help you take your look from study sessions in the library to dancing the night away.

I don't know if I've made it clear before, but in case nobody knew: I have a scarf obsession. Naturally, my love of cozy neck-warmers has extended to high-neck garments of all kinds. It's refreshing to wear a higher neck piece once in a while, and fall is the perfect time to try this look.

While scarves are great, turtleneck dresses are must-have wardrobe staples this fall since they are so versatile. They give you some extra warmth while still looking tres chic.

Keep reading to see how I styled one of these turtleneck dresses for class and for a night out!

Turtleneck Dress: Class

Products: Dress - Shoes - Bag - Watch - Earrings - Nail Polish

You don't really need to do much with a striped dress - it's a statement on its own. No necklace is necessary either because of the high neckline, just add some stud earrings and a nice rose-gold watch. I've discovered that having a watch is nice when your phone is dead - here's to being a little old school!

Now let's accessorize. This dress pairs well with some black lace-up oxfords and a large beige-and-pink tote. Paint your nails a nice deep plum color to ease yourself into the fall vibe.

Turtleneck Dress: Night Out

Products: Dress - Vest - Boots - Clutch - Bracelet - Earrings

Add a little more glamour for your night out by wearing the dress with a faux fur vest and black knee high boots.

As with the class outfit, I recommend skipping the necklace. Instead, accessorize with a gold pearl cluster bracelet and some flashy black-and-gold tassel earrings. I'm curious, though, would you accessorize a turtleneck dress with a necklace? I've seen statement necklaces with turtlenecks that I loved but I'm on the fence about it. Okay, tangent over. Just throw your essentials in a beige clutch and you're good to go!

Your Thoughts?

What do you think? Would you wear a statement necklace with a turtleneck dress or go sans-necklace all together? How would you style one for class and a night out? Let me know in the comments, I love hearing feedback!
