How To Style A Turtleneck

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Illinois chapter.

Just like the saying goes, everything old is new again. A cold weather staple that’s making a comeback for this fall season is the turtleneck. This high-neck piece was easily the most prevalent article of clothing on the runway, dominating almost every collection in some form. Endlessly versatile and shockingly flattering, the turtleneck is a great way to be stylish this fall in multiple ways.  

For a chilly fall day look: Layer the turtleneck under another knit top, such as a sweater or cardigan. To create an old-school look, pair the turtleneck with a slouchy cardigan and wide-leg pants for a surprisingly fresh spin on a classic outfit.

For a statement look: Choose an over-the-top statement necklace that’s sure to attract extra attention. The way a necklace falls against the high-cut material is a match made in heaven. It’s like a turtleneck was invented to be with a necklace. Tip: pull your hair back for extra effect.

For a night out look: Fashion a lightweight, silky blouse with a black turtleneck underneath. Choose a colorful blouse that will make the black turtleneck pop. Pair the blouse and turtleneck with a light, flowy skirt on the bottom. If you’re looking for a more casual look, wear the blouse and turtleneck with a pair of dark denim jeans.

For a fun look: Play with colors by layering a striped long-sleeved shirt under an oversized cable-knit turtleneck sweater. To change things up, match with animal print accessories and golden bracelets. Don’t forget to cuff the sleeves to finish the layering look.
