Learn how to style a turtleneck sweater with these 12 outfits you can find on ThredUp.
A fitted black turtleneck looks edgy paired with leather pants. Choose black bottoms for a monochrome look, or add dimension with burgundy, forest green, or tan pants.
Accessorize this outfit with a statement belt, a cropped blazer, and heels. For something more casual yet stylish, try flat ankle boots. An oversized wool scarf is the perfect touch on cold days.
This ensemble is ideal for evenings, holiday gatherings, and even a day at the office. Use ThredUp’s “neckline” search filter to find the ideal turtleneck for the look.
If you’re wondering what to wear with turtlenecks, you can’t go wrong with wide-leg trousers. Choose pants in neutral tones like black or white, and go bold with a jewel-tone top like emerald and sapphire. Tuck the turtleneck in to emphasize your waist.
This outfit works well with a tailored blazer. Style it with loafers and seamlessly transition from the office to dinner with friends.
Styling turtlenecks is easy when you wear a chunky, cable-knit piece with a long skirt. Reach for a sweater in soft cream or camel to complement a midi-length bottom with a floral or plaid pattern. Balance the bulk of the knit by choosing a skirt with lightweight fabric and an A-line or a pleated shape.
For accessories, ankle or knee-high boots work beautifully, and a crossbody bag ties the outfit together. Wear this look for fall foliage walks, farmer’s market, or weekend brunch.
Layer a fitted turtleneck underneath your summer slip dress to transform it into a winter-ready outfit. Choose a dress in a rich fabric like satin or velvet for contrast, and add tights for warmth. Stick to monochromatic tones for a sophisticated look, or play with contrasting colors like a black turtleneck underneath a jewel-toned dress.
Finish this look with heeled ankle boots, a wool coat, and a structured handbag. Wear it out to a holiday party or a date night.
Pair a chunky knit turtleneck with a leather mini skirt for a textured outfit that screams style. Choose a black or burgundy skirt for a sleek look, and balance it with a turtleneck in a lighter shade.
Add heeled boots and gold statement earrings to this outfit for a touch of glam. A trenchcoat will keep you warm as you head out to dinner or the theater for the evening.
Wear a slouchy, neutral-colored turtleneck underneath denim overalls for a playful outfit. For fall, choose overalls in a medium or dark wash—a lighter wash works better in spring.
Roll up the overalls’ cuffs and add sneakers or combat boots and a bucket hat. This look is ideal for running errands, heading to a picnic in the park, or strolling through an outdoor market. A tote bag and bomber jacket tie the look together beautifully.
Dress preppy by combining a turtleneck and an oversized plaid blazer. Opt for a fitted white, black, or beige turtleneck and pair it with tailored trousers or jeans. For a fashion-forward twist, use a belt to cinch the blazer at the waist.
Add loafers or ankle boots to this outfit, and finish it with one of ThredUp’s affordable designer bags. This look is put-together enough for business casual settings, but you can also wear it shopping with friends.
Keep it simple and timeless with a fitted turtleneck tucked into high-waisted jeans. Choose straight-leg or wide-leg denim, whichever you prefer, and experiment with turtlenecks in vibrant colors or bold patterns. We’re partial to classic black-and-white stripes.
Pair these pieces with white sneakers and a bucket bag for coffee runs and casual hangouts. For something more elevated, add block heels, a shoulder bag, and layered necklaces.
Style sweatpants with a loose-fitting turtleneck underneath a cozy puffer jacket. This is a practical winter outfit that’s the ultimate in cozy.
Reach for tapered joggers to avoid not looking put together. This balances the oversized shirt and jacket, which have a larger silhouette. Depending on the weather, add chunky boots or platform sneakers and a knit beanie.
This look is great for outdoor activities or chilly weekend errands.
Pair a cropped turtleneck with a high-waisted maxi skirt for a boho-inspired look that’s still polished.
Choose a skirt in a fabric like silk and a solid jewel tone for a fall or winter outfit you can wear to holiday parties. To make it more appropriate for spring weather, opt for a softer fabric and lighter color, which you can wear to an outdoor concert with a leather jacket.
Accessorize this ensemble with heeled ankle boots or flats and a clutch.
Wear a lightweight turtleneck with velvet trousers for a luxurious look that’s still comfortable. For fall and winter, stick to rich colors like emerald, navy, and burgundy, with a neutral top so the pants steal the show.
This outfit benefits from minimal accessories. Add heeled boots, a tailored blazer, and a small designer bag for a sophisticated finish. Wear it to holiday events and upscale dinners.
Layer a turtleneck under a denim jacket for a transitional outfit for late summer and fall. Pair these pieces with wide-leg jeans or slim-fit trousers and opt for complementary colors like a white turtleneck and a blue jacket. If the weather is warmer, swap the bottoms for a mini skirt, with or without tights.
Wear this outfit for everything from dinner with friends to a live show. A crossbody bag makes the perfect accessory.
