Turtleneck sweater and blazer<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Wearing a turtleneck always looks polished, whether you’re headed to the office or meeting up with friends for drinks. You can customize this combo to suit the occasion, too. For work, opt for a structured, fitted blazer. For casual dates, reach for the soft shell blazer that follows your shoulder lines more softly.  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Turtleneck sweater under a dress<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Here\u2019s the thing: Just because it\u2019s winter doesn\u2019t mean your dresses should hibernate. Layering a turtleneck under your favorite summer or sleeveless dress is an easy way to extend its wear into colder months. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A-line and slip dresses work especially well, and adding tights plus ankle boots will tie everything together. This is a practical and warm ensemble with a chic, layered vibe. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tucked into wide-legged jeans<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Wide-legged jeans are having a moment, and they pair perfectly with a slim turtleneck. Tuck the sweater in to show off your waist and let the jeans do the rest. This is the kind of outfit that feels casual but still has that \u201cI put some effort in\u201d look. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Add sneakers on casual days or ankle boots if you want to make a more upscale impression. Finish with a belt, which can be muted or bold, depending on your mood. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Turtleneck with a midi skirt<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When you want something that\u2019s feminine and comfortable, try a turtleneck and a midi skirt. This is another combo that you can customize to your mood or the occasion. A skirt with a fun print or pleats take the stage in a quirky, lively outfit. Or, you can keep things classic with a skirt that\u2019s the same color as your sweater. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Either outfit can be anchored with sneakers, flats, or boots. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Turtleneck with a pencil skirt<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The pencil skirt embodies passive-aggressive sex appeal. It shows off your figure in an enticing way \u2013 but you can still wear it to work, assuming you can ignore some extra attention.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Add a turtleneck sweater to the mix and you take things to another level. Take care not to go too tight with the sweater or you risk attracting too many eyeballs. Tuck the sweater in for a polished look or leave it out for something more relaxed. Heels complete the outfit. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This look is one you can take from work to date night. Add a blazer<\/a> over the top if you need to tone things down for your co-workers.  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Layered under a vest<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Vests are an overlooked layering piece. They often pop up in the feeds in the fall, but they\u2019re useful nearly all year. Make yours work harder by pairing it with a turtleneck sweater in winter. A sleeker turtleneck usually works better, as it won\u2019t be too bulky. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Go sporty with a quilted vest or cozy with a knit one. Finish your outfit with straight-leg denim. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Turtleneck sweater with shorts and tights<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Yes, shorts in winter \u2013 it\u2019s a thing. Pair tailored shorts with a turtleneck and opaque tights for a look that\u2019s playful but totally practical. Add loafers or ankle boots to complete the outfit. This is another hack for getting more mileage out of your wardrobe \u2013 especially if you have those \u201cfancy shorts\u201d that you don\u2019t wear enough. Trust me, it works.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

No more boring turtlenecks <\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Turtlenecks don\u2019t have to be boring or predictable. Mix things up and stretch your style chops by dressing up your turtleneck sweaters or layering them with off-season pieces.
