Turtlenecks can really span into any fashion category. They can be worn in an athleisure outfit, under a dress, with a blazer, or in a trendy high-fashion look. This flexibility makes them so covetable.
Turtlenecks are also the perfect item for transitional weather. They can transition that summer dress into fall, or add an extra layer when winter starts to hit. Layering your outfits is one of the easiest ways to turn a boring outfit into an outfit that has depth and looks sophisticated.

Here are a few ideas on how to style turtlenecks,
- Turtleneck under your shirt
Turtleneck under a button shirt
I love this layering style. As you can see if you button your shirt (top photo) it becomes more business casual and if you leave your shirt unbuttoned or knotted in front it skews more daytime.

- Turtleneck Under a Mini Dress
I love how this can add so much sophistication to a mini dress and it can also help transition some of your favorite summery styles into fall and winter. For chillier days consider adding black tights, another go-to item for fall and winter.
- Turtleneck with a blazer
If you opt for an oversized blazer with a fitted turtleneck you could add straight-leg jeans. But if you have a chunky knit turtleneck with an oversized or loose blazer, try a more fitted pants. You want to make sure part of your figure is visible or highlighted so your outfit doesn’t look like it’s consuming you. Another way to accomplish this is to tuck in the turtleneck and add a belt to highlight your waist.

- Monochromatic Turtleneck Outfit
Monochrome is an underrated way to add instant style to an outfit. Whether you want to go with a classic all-black look or a unique amber color, or even a red monochromatic outfit, the turtleneck can help you elevate your look.
- Oversized Turtleneck with a Slinky Skirt
This combination is a great example of how using texture can really make an outfit. A soft knit turtleneck sweater with a slinky silk skirt is the perfect fall evening outfit. Swap out the heels for boots and tights when the weather gets colder.
- Turtleneck with a mini skirt
A turtleneck with a mini skirt is not for everyone, but I had to put it on the list because I think we will be seeing more of this silhouette this season.

- Turtleneck with Jeans (casual)
This list wouldn’t be complete without this casual outfit formula. And it’s kind of a no-brainer, a turtleneck with jeans! Just keep the outfit balanced. Avoid pairing a tight turtleneck with skin-tight skinny jeans, or wearing a super oversized turtleneck with baggy pants.
- Business Casual Turtleneck outfit
With a business casual outfit, you want to avoid too many fitted items. So opt for a fitted turtleneck with wide-leg trousers, or under a relaxed suit. Don’t forget your details; adding a few select accessories can elevate a business casual outfit tenfold.
