Elegant style icon wardrobe essentials: Grace Kelly in turtle neck sweater

Whether sleeveless or long sleeved, black, or white, or cream colored, Grace Kelly knows how to wear her turtleneck sweaters. She wears it alone, inside an open jacket or a loose fit sweater, letting the turtleneck in solid color framing her delicate face features and slim body. No embellishments, just solid color and simple silhouettes.

Her favorite turtleneck sweater is the Aran turtleneck, the Irish turtleneck sweater with intricate cable knit originally made for sheep farmers and fishermen. She wears it for boating in summer, and skiing in winter, pairing with a pair of fitting tapered pants.  For those sheep farmers and fishermen living on the small islands of 
Calway Bay on Ireland's west coast, where the Aran sweater came from, Grace Kelly in their sweater must look like a goddess wearing their creations, blessing their livelihood, which she did. Grace Kelly, as well as Alain Delon, makes Aran turtleneck sweater a staple in the wardrobes of those style conscious people all around the world, even decades later.
