This past weekend, I had a conversation where I named Sofía Vergara one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood — so it’s no surprise that I gravitate towards her for fashion inspiration. Better yet, her looks are more than achievable, often combining classy and sexy styles into one ensemble — and her recent look did just that.
Vergara posted an Instagram video where she turned an average hallway into her catwalk. She wore a black turtleneck dress that hugged her curves, reached her ankles, and included long sleeves. The actress’ dress was uncomplicated; there was nothing particularly extravagant about it, but that’s what made it so great. There weren't any embellishments, spunky design details, or chunky hardware pieces in sight, proving that the simple piece is timeless.

The piece’s basic allure offers the wearer a do-it-all fashion staple that takes almost no effort to look put together. Add pointed-toe heels like Vergara for a classy dinner, pair it with soaring combat boots for a casual weekend hang, or dress it way down with some white sneakers. Everyone needs at least one black turtleneck dress in their collection because it can be worn just about anywhere.
Similar dress styles are usually extremely comfortable. Often made of stretchy, soft material, bodycon turtleneck dresses allow you to feel like you’re basically wearing a nightgown. Because, let’s face it, there’s almost nothing worse than feeling restricted and uncomfortable in the name of fashion. So, why not opt for a look that’s both sexy and enjoyable to wear?

Vergara isn’t the only star who’s on board the turtleneck dress train. Just last fall, Selena Gomez opted for a leopard-print version, Kim Kardashian went with a cozy gray knit, and Kendall Jenner followed in her sister’s footsteps. Clearly, this is a versatile look suitable for anyone to wear.
Trust me, there’s no way you won’t fall in love with your own long sleeve turtleneck dress, especially during winter when the temperature begs for cozy-yet-chic style options. Shop dresses inspired by Vergara, below, starting at $23.
