Especially in the North, turtlenecks in clean lines are appropriate for chilly recruitments. Obviously a PNM shouldn't wear a bulky, boxy grandma turtleneck. That said, every season designers and brands ranging from Forever 21 to Ann Taylor to Marc Jacobs show turtleneck tops. They don't have to be conservative or stodgy in the right cut.
Again, you have to dress for your body type but as someone who was recently at a chapter at a fairly fashion-conscious school, we saw plenty of PNMs and active sisters wear turtlenecks/high necked tops in fabrics ranging from jersey to cashmere. They mostly looked fantastic, youthful, and stylish. So I happen to disagree, but to each her own.

Ok I guess I can understand turtlenecks if you're up North. I go to a school in the South, so it's like 1,000,000 degrees here during fall recruitment, and about 60 during winter.
