During the winter months, I’m all about a chunky turtleneck sweater. I probably wear one four to five days a week if I’m being honest. I literally wear them with everything — jeans, leggings, skirts, over dresses, with wide-leg pants, you name it. In fact, I find them such a useful layering piece for winter that I wanted to pull together a post on how to wear a turtleneck sweater to prove this is the type of sweater to invest in every year. When choosing a turtleneck sweater, I prefer boxy and slightly oversized, but a fitted style is definitely a staple for layering and work. I find having a range of styles is useful — oversized to go with leggings, chunky and cropped at the waist for pairing with skirts and over dresses or for a more polished denim look, and thinner and fitted for the office and layering. I love wearing turtleneck sweaters with everything, from fitted ankle-pants and Chelsea boots to mini skirts and even over maxi dresses. It’s an easy layering piece that can go from work to weekend and guarantees you’ll be warm and cozy. What more could you ask for, really? And you don’t need to be a fashion pro to figure out how to wear a turtleneck sweater. They pretty much go with everything.
I like to balance an oversized turtleneck sweater with skinny jeans or pants, but the look also works over a longer midi skirt or even maxi dress if you’re feeling more fashion-forward. Just make sure the knit isn’t too boxy. A more fitted style works well with a skirt or trouser pants for the office. I also love the simple look of a turtleneck sweater, jeans and loafers. It’s my go-to weekend uniform in the fall and winter. If you’re looking for more inspiration and some cute turtleneck sweaters to shop, you’re in luck.
Here are my favorite ideas for how to wear a turtleneck sweater — plus, how to get the look at every price point.
