Last Updated on March 22, 2021 by Sagarika Kapoor

While wearing a turtleneck was mostly a winter thing, you can even pull it off during summers nowadays. There are so many summery turtleneck options in the market that you can experiment with. You can create a turtleneck shirt outfit or one with a denim jacket as well. There are endless ways to create a chic and unique look. What’s more when it comes to turtlenecks you even create some really cool vintage and aesthetic looking outfits. They can be styled for a lunch with friends, date with your significant other or even for work. Hence, we decided to curate this guide for you that you can take inspiration from and create some awesome outfits.

Here’s how you can experiment with wearing a turtleneck.

Style em’ with Pants

Want to wear your fav turtleneck top to work? Well, pair them up with a pair of pants. This is not to say that you can’t pull off a look like that when out for shopping or a hang out session. What can make a difference are the shoes you pick and how you accessorise the look. For work you can pick a pair of comfortable heels or formal loafers and when headed out with friends then you can opt for some nice sneakers to make the look a bit more casual. Go for some chunky jewellery for a casual look and the dainty kinds for an office look. 

Wearing a Turtleneck with Blazer

Pair up a blazer and turtleneck when headed to work or for a meeting, out somewhere. Of course if you experiment a little with the colours and accessories you can make an outfit that can be carried to a casual event as well. Go ahead and play a little with pastels, add a baguette to the look, some chunky gold jewellery, vintage sunglasses and even some thick soled running shoes to create an aesthetic day look. Of course if you are headed to work keep it simple yet stylish. Don’t forget to add a dainty necklace for the formal look!

Layer it Up!

Add a shirt over turtleneck or a light loose cardigan depending on the occasion. Layering up turtlenecks looks really good and adds a bit of spark to an old and boring outfit. You could go ahead and use a lace turtleneck top and add a shirt in a contrasting colour to it. You will surely stand out. You could even opt for a solid turtleneck and top it up with a printed cardigan (of course make sure it’s light and breezy!). If you wish to switch it up a little then top up the turtleneck with your fav kaftan! It would make for a great womens turtleneck outfit.

Wearing a Turtleneck with Shorts/Skirt

Create a fun back-to-school outfit by wearing a turtleneck that is sleeveless and pair it up with shorts or skirt. It is one of those classic turtleneck looks that can be worn to a picnic or a movie with friends or anything that is chilled out and simple. Add some nice white tennis shoes to the look and a whole lot of hand accessories as well (middle rings, stacked bracelets and the works!). Again this is a sort of look you can add a baguette to but what would be perfect would be a backpack.

Underneath a Dress

Ever been in a situation when you really wanna wear a dress but all of them are old and boring? Well, wearing a turtleneck underneath the dress acts as a great hack to make the look interesting. You could even do something like this for the winter season by wearing a turtleneck sweater underneath your favourite dress. That way you can wear your fav dress while also keeping warm. Now these sort of womens turtleneck outfits work great for a nice fancy dinner date or even a work meeting or any other slightly formal event.

Chunky Jewellery for the Win!

If you are wondering how to rock a turtleneck then chunky jewellery is something you have to play with. A solid turtleneck creates a great canvas for you to add some of your fav jewels to an outfit. So we say go to town. Of course, if you prefer dainty jewellery, that would look great too! However, some nice big gold hoops or a chain necklace is definitely a good idea when wearing a turtleneck.
