Turtlenecks are a fashion staple you need. They are the perfect layering piece. However, just because they are a “staple” and “classic” does not mean they can’t be worn in a more modern way.

3 tips on how to style a turtleneck easily
- Watch your proportions. I know I say this a lot…But, ratios are key to making any outfit work, but more so when we are talking about a simple, classic piece like the turtleneck.
- Decide your style. Turtlenecks can have a vintage vibe, a 90’s supermodel vibe, or even a chic modern style. Don’t try to do everything in one outfit. Decide the vibe and style you are going for and keep it generally in that family. For example, if you opt for a turtleneck under a shirt and blazer don’t pair it with super futuristic-style shoes. Mixing categories can work if you are an experimental dresser or very well-versed in fashion, but it should be avoided until you’ve really mastered your personal style.
- Don’t be afraid to mix oversized pieces with fitted pieces and vice versa. An oversized turtleneck looks excellent with a mini skirt, and a fitted turtleneck looks great with a wide-leg pair of jeans or trousers.
