People Editorial Guidelines Published on November 14, 2024 07:30PM EST Photo: Kelly Clarkson Instagram (1) Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece. I am one of those people who is always cold — that’s why I moved to an island. However, I also love wearing dresses all year round, no matter where I am, and Kelly Clarkson just showed me a genius way to keep the dress trend going through fall and winter. In a recent post from The Kelly Clarkson Show, the host and singer wore a mockneck dress in a comfy-looking sweater material. The dress had a pretty blue and burnt orange houndstooth-like pattern, a nice switch-up from classic plaid prints, which she wore with square-toe heels. Meghan Markle is another fan of mock neck styles, and countless celebrities break out turtlenecks year after year. Both styles help keep the chest and neck covered, which is ideal for cooler temperatures. Wearing this cut in a sweater dress form is a cozy way to dress up your outfit, and it’s a tried-and-true choice for upcoming holiday dinners — it’s comfortable, whether you’re cooking, serving, or eating a big meal. Clarkson has once again inspired me to add to my holiday wish list with these similar mock neck and turtleneck dresses below — prices start at $32.
