The Most Genius Turtleneck

There are few garments more classic than a turtleneck, but fashion designers somehow keep finding new ways to innovate the look. There are artsy turts and sexy turts and hard-core turts for every kind of turt person out there. But this sweater by Hermès is just plain genius. It’s actually a cashmere bodysuit — two words not often found next to each other in the same sentence. So I’ll say it again: cashmere bodysuit. But that’s not even what I love about it. The sweater has a belt-loop collar, much like those found on traditional leather Hermès accessories, which allows the wearer to slide one of the brand’s luxurious silk scarves right through it. [Insert galaxy brain graphic here.] It’s such a smart design, you wonder how no one has thought of it before. And maybe they have. But only Hermès could do it so well.
