No.in the comings and goings of trends of the moment, there are some basics that cannot be missing in the wardrobe. Among them: the turtleneck in jersey, that garment that knows no seasons. Lighter than sweet life but still opaque, it lends itself to infinite outfits. And the good news is that in 2022 it returns in old / new guises, without losing its essential elegance.

Where we have seen it
Featuring a collar that reaches mid-throat, not turned up, in lycra, knit or mesh fabric, second skin effect. This is the identikit of the original cub, which takes its name from the uniforms of the little scouts, between 7 and 11 years old. Abroad it is also known as turtleneck. But whether the main inspiration is wolves or turtles, there is no doubt that this is the perfect garment to make the neck the protagonist. The most popular female cub today? It looks like it came out of seventies. In fluid jersey, very tight, with a soft collar and a refined floral graphic, like the one seen on the catwalk Resort 2022 from Victoria Beckham. A must-have piece that lends itself to various combinations, perfect for the transition period between the seasons (so much so that the designer offers it, in her Pre-Spring collection, in different prints).

How to match the cub in 2022
Even today, the cub does not lose its main function, namely that of indispensable under jacket. In place of the hippie corduroy set, a modern business suit single-breasted gabardine, long and straight, complete with high-waisted trousers fitted at the waist and flared at the bottom, reminiscent of the flared cuts of the time. At the foot, gods moccasins flat with a square back tip. The skilful mix of old and new is enhanced by color: to match the mock turtleneck with style and make it the protagonist it is necessary to opt for contrasting garments that take up one of the nuances of the motif. In this case, a cyan blue trendy.
A piece that lends itself to different interpretations. Just take off the jacket and change your shoes to create a whole new outfit with the turtleneck, and turn it into a nineties piece. An anticipation of Spring 2022, to be incorporated into the look right away.
