It's time for a little ecole. Since you probably fell asleep or passed notes during French class, allow me to point out what you've been missing.
From Wikipedia.com:
"Epaulette (pronounced /ˈɛpǝlɛt/[1]) is a French word meaning "little shoulder" (from épaule, meaning "shoulder"). Epaulettes are a type of ornamental shoulder piece or decoration used as insignia or rank by the military and other organizations. Colloquially, the word has also come to refer to some types of shoulder strap."
The epaulette can take even the most basic black turtleneck and give it that detail that takes you from the Bowery to St. Germain-des-Pres. (That last word is pronounced "pray" for my readers in Indiana.)
It seems that American retailers are finally beginning to pay attention to "insignificant" sartorial details such as fabric, cut, and finish.
Invest in a turtleneck and a short-sleeved button down with Epaulette detailing, and you'll be prepared for whatever life throws you. Whether it's Paris or Provence.
Ecoutez-moi bien.
xoxo.
