Halloween How To: Turtleneck 3 Ways

Jill is Aerie’s Associate Manager of Brand Marketing, and only prickly on the outside with her Halloween Cactus look. DIY by threading pipe cleaners through the weaves of a green t-neck sweater (being careful not to rip it!). Add some faux flowers for a look that’s in full bloom!

Senior Coordinator of Talent Acquisition, Sarah, is the sweetest in this cute and fun ice cream costume. Cut some felt strips, and glue or pin them along with colored cotton balls onto a basic t-neck. The cherry headband tops it off!

Chloe is the Lead Lab Associate for Creative Window Marketing, and she’s all ears in our easy mouse costume. Cut some fabric that matches back to your fave gray t-neck and layer it with smaller pink circles for the ears. Sew on a coordinating “tail” and you’re a mouse, duh!
