Here’s How to Style a Turtleneck for Every Occasion This Winter

Who says you need to hide your summer tops away for winter? By adding a thin turtleneck under warm-weather pieces like tank tops, you can extend their use into pretty much any time of year. Further elevate the look with work pants for the office—or switch things up with a miniskirt and fleece-lined tights for a going-out look.

We’re said it before and we’ll say it again: Accessories have the power to transform good outfits into great ones. While a matching sweater set is already a fine ensemble in itself, the addition of matching accessories in a new color make it truly memorable. Olive and chocolate brown work well above, but we’ll direct you to another color trend: black and burgundy.

Let’s say you’re almost ready to leave for work or a dinner date when you realize you’re not wearing enough layers for the weather. Why not throw a turtleneck under your blazer, jacket, or coat? A creamy knit (again with the neck flipped up for the coolest possible effect) goes with everything and shows you’re willing to take some swings with your outfits. Once you get to your destination, you can lose the outerwear; this one looks just as good with just a sweater up top.
