The hero of your winter wardrobe is the garment you might least expect
Also known as the skivvy or polo neck, the turtleneck received a get-out-of-fashion-jail-free card at the Celine runway presentation in Paris during the most recent haute couture season. Extravagant gowns encrusted with pearls or diamonds usually steal the haute couture show, but the debut of American designer Michael Rider at the French fashion house placed humble white turtlenecks front and centre.
Rider may have been inspired by former Celine designer and turtleneck devotee Phoebe Philo but his runway masterclass restored the wardrobe staple of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe to its former free-spirited glory.
Here's how to style a turtleneck and keep your cool while staying warm.
For beginners: On its own
The easiest way to embrace the turtleneck is to wear it with jeans or trousers as an alternative to bulky jumpers. Remember to balance out the snug fit of a thin turtleneck with straight-leg or wide pants or jeans.
Marilyn Monroe wore her black turtleneck with checked capri pants and Audrey Hepburn with black tights, playing a beatnik in the classic musical Funny Face. Most of us are neither bombshells nor beatniks and more than 60 years have passed, so let's loosen up.
One trend from the last millennium worth holding on to is feminist Gloria Steinem's turtlenecks paired with long, statement silver necklaces from the 1970s. It's not just groovy, it's liberating.
Intermediate: Beneath a jacket
A turtleneck is a streamlined alternative to wearing a blouse beneath a blazer or jacket. When it comes to layering, the thinner the turtleneck the better.
A white turtleneck breaking up double denim looks better than Jake Gyllenhaal breaking up fights in Road House. If you're self-conscious about your curves, try wearing the turtleneck untucked to lengthen your silhouette. Otherwise, tuck it in and break out your best belt.
If you're after a monochrome approach, pairing a white turtleneck with a white jacket, or a black turtleneck with a black jacket, be prepared to play with textures. The cotton, wool or cashmere (if you're fancy) of a turtleneck provides a delightful on-trend contrast with a crackly leather jacket or the sleek satin lapel of a dinner jacket.
Sharon Stone's black turtleneck worn beneath a black velvet jacket at the 1996 Academy Awards remains an inspiration to many stylists for a very good reason.
Expert: Beneath a shirt
The Parisian staple of a white turtleneck beneath a white collared shirt, worn with jeans and leather boots, is the height of trans-seasonal chic. Once again, make sure the turtleneck is fitted but let the shirt billow. Look for a shirt with a classic rather than tailored fit and remember, you can undo as many buttons as you like without having to worry about stiff breezes.
A black turtleneck with a white shirt and jeans also works but be careful of straying into the coastal grandma trend, exemplified by Diane Keaton, of white, on white, on white. If you take this path, be prepared for stares and stains.
For the office, match your trousers with your turtleneck before layering with a white shirt. Grey and black work brilliantly, with white acting as a crisp contrast. Break out the starch because stiff cotton shirts work best with relaxed knits.

Court drama back with engaging cold case
Binge's captivating anthology court drama is back for a third season, and this time there's a cold case. As was the case with the second season, the only carry-over character appears to be lawyer Brett Colby (Sam Neill), and we've got a fresh batch of jurors as well. This case sees an acquaintance of Colby's, Alan Chaplin (William Zappa) charged with the murder of a woman who had been writing a book about a double murder of teenage girls from the 1970s, who had come to believe Chaplin was their killer. The author, Amanda de Frey (Eryn-Jean Norvill), at first believed her own father - a convicted serial killer - was responsible for the girls' deaths, but eventually came to accuse Chaplin in the days before her murder. As such, we're treated to not only the mystery of Amanda's death, but also the earlier crime, with flashbacks to both to reel us in. Like season two, Cape Rock Killer is set in Western Australia, with the trial this time being heard in a Perth court, rather than a small rural town. The best part of this series' first season was the fact that the jurors were front and centre, and their stories were the biggest focus. That dropped away a little in the second season with more time spent on Colby and fellow lawyer Meredith Nelson-Moore. This season has kicked off with very little time spent on the jurors. We barely learn anything about them in the season opener, so we can hope that that changes in the episodes to come. Other new cast members this season include Ewen Leslie (Top of the Lake: China Girl), Phoenix Raei (Apple Cider Vinegar), Sarah Peirse (Offspring) and Danielle Cormack (Wentworth). Jason Momoa's passion project has made it to the small screen. Chief of War chronicles the story of warring Hawaiian kingdoms in the late 18th century. Momoa is not only the star and producer, but also co-creator and co-writer of the series, which was filmed across the ditch in New Zealand and features a bevy of Kiwi talent. Somewhat reminiscent of celebrated drama Shogun with its beautiful cinematography, lush production value and authentic-looking costuming, Chief of War follows Momoa's Ka'iana, a warrior chief from Maui who has left his homeland to live a quieter life in Kaua'i. But he is called back by his king, Kahekili (a fearsome Temuera Morrison), who says the young king of O'ahu is going to attack and must be stopped. The series progresses to tell the story of the famous unification of Hawai'i under king Kamehameha (played by Native Hawaiian Kaina Makua in his acting debut). It is sprawling, features predominantly Hawaiian language (a huge step toward adding authenticity to the project), and has stunning music from maestro Hans Zimmer, working alongside Hawaiian artists. The Night Agent's Luciane Buchanan and prolific Kiwi actor Cliff Curtis also star in the series, which drops episodes weekly after an initial offering of two episodes. The baffling case of four teenage girls murdered in Austin, Texas in 1991 is detailed in this four-episode true crime docuseries on HBO Max. The Yogurt Shop Murders utilises plenty of archive footage mixed in with interviews with family members of the victims, investigators and even a filmmaker who attempted to make a documentary in 2009 before becoming overwhelmed with the size of the story. The devastating case saw four young girls - two of whom were sisters - who were all part of the Future Farmers of America organisation brutally shot in the back of a popular eatery called I Can't Believe It's Yogurt, before the establishment was set on fire. The docuseries is from the acclaimed A24 studio. You can put this straight at the top of the list of things that really didn't need to be made. A strong contender for worst film of the year (though Tom Hardy's Havoc on Netflix will take some serious beating), War of the Worlds on Prime Video is the adaptation absolutely nobody asked for. Taking the classic story of aliens arriving and throwing the world into chaos, this film from director Rich Lee (primarily a music video director) sees Ice Cube playing a domestic terrorism analyst with the Department of Homeland Security, who is constantly surveilling everyone in his life, including his pregnant daughter, her partner and his son. Somehow he's the one who has to save the world from these invading aliens, and all from his desk, because this whole film is told with the 'screenlife' technique seen in Searching and Missing, where all the action takes place on a computer screen. The entire film is flaw after flaw, starting with Ice Cube's woeful miscasting (he's great in the right roles, but this is definitely the wrong role), the illogical speed at which things happen (we watch something happen in real time and then a fully written news story or complete broadcast report of the incident is available the next second), the ridiculous convenience of story points, and ending with the terrible dialogue and effects. Anyone who can make it through the runtime deserves a medal. Miley Cyrus brings her new visual album to the small screen with Something Beautiful on Disney+. You'll also find Marvel's animated series Eyes of Wakanda, set in fan favourite Black Panther's African home country, on the streamer. Over on Stan is the second season of video game adaptation Twisted Metal, with Anthony Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz, and another Kevin Costner documentary project, Yellowstone to Yosemite, which covers the journey US president Theodore Roosevelt and naturalist John Muir took during 1903. Meanwhile on Netflix you can scratch your sitcom itch with Leanne, a multicamera comedy from Leanne Morgan which also stars Kristen Johnston and Ryan Stiles, and film My Oxford Year, a romantic drama following American academic Anna (new Netflix golden girl Sofia Carson) during her year at the ancient college, and her romance with the charming Jamie Davenport (Corey Mylchreest of Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story).
