8 Stylish Ways to Wear a Turtleneck this Winter
Updated: Jun. 26, 2019The formerly frumpy piece is now totally chic (and warm).
Throw it on under a sweater
Got an itchy sweater your skin can’t stand? Try layering a cottony turtleneck underneath. You’ll find new life in your old knits and put an extra barrier between you and the cold. This is how to cure dry skin in winter.
Wear it under a blazer
Prevent this style from appearing frumpy by wearing the thinnest turtleneck you can find. Black pairs nicely with most classic-colored blazers.
Wear this classic style
For a timeless look, try nautical stripes. Pair the closet staple with a pair of jeans and your favorite jacket. The striped neckline will add the perfect amount of visual interest. Here’s how to dress 10 pounds thinner.
Throw on a laid-back cowl neck
For cold winter weekends, nothing beats a slouchy cowl-neck sweater. Find one in the chunkiest knit you can and pair it with your comfiest pair of skinny jeans or leggings. The tight-fitting bottom will balance out the volume on top.
Consider a cropped look
Take your turtleneck out on the town by choosing a chic cropped style and pairing it with high-waisted jeans. Whether the turtleneck is sleeved or sleeveless, you’ll stay cozier than you would in a standard tank. Plus, a dash of belly will help you channel a bit of summer style, even if you’ve still got to bundle up on top.
Add a dash of elegance with accessories
No matter which layering technique you choose, a turtleneck can always be glammed up with accessories. Try a pair of statement earrings to bring attention to the neckline, or a chunky necklace to bring the eye a bit lower. Here are more tips for how to accessorize, according to fashion stylists.
