Folding the neck gives your turtleneck a crisp, defined outline that makes it look more polished than if you scrunch the neck.

This is a great option if you’re wearing a light turtleneck during warmer seasons, especially if it’s also sleeveless.

This works best with lightweight turtlenecks or cowl turtlenecks that have a lot of loose, flowing fabric around the neck. Bunching heavy turtlenecks can add too much weight to your neck.

Mock turtlenecks come in a variety of weights so you can choose a lightweight one if you’d like to layer it or a heavy material if you want to wear it as a standalone sweater.

Don’t match the color of the turtleneck with the button-down shirt since you want the turtleneck to be visible. Try a dark olive turtleneck with a lighter green button-down shirt or vice versa, for instance.

It’s totally fine to toss on a winter coat, but go for a peacoat or wool coat instead of a puffy coat, which could make you look too bulky.

For example, wear an oatmeal-colored rolled turtleneck with tweed or plaid pants. Then, finish the look with loafers and a cardigan.

For instance, pair a pale pink turtleneck with a dark blue or gray blazer. Wear your favorite necklace or watch and you’re all set!

You don’t have to limit yourself to black! Colors like pale pink, light gray, or pale green also work well together and they’re great for daytime or nighttime looks.

For example, wear a lilac-colored turtleneck with black trousers and a camel-colored blazer for a relaxed look, or wear a charcoal-gray turtleneck under a navy suit if you’d like something more professional.

This is a really easy way to add your own unique style to the turtleneck. Going for a fun, boho vibe? Pick an oversized fuzzy vest. Want a studious, academic look? Wear a plain, crew-neck sweater with a pair of jeans.

Try a black turtleneck with jeans and a black leather jacket if you’re going for a rebellious vintage style, or dress up the look by wearing an ivory turtleneck with a dark brown leather jacket, and brown trousers.
