12 Refreshingly Cool Ways to Wear Winter's Most Versatile Basic

When it comes to a winning marriage of chic and cozy, nothing beats the turtleneck. The versatile basic is, without a doubt, the unsung hero of our cold-weather wardrobes. Whether you opt for a thick, chunky sweater or a tissue-thin, formfitting turtleneck to layer, they unquestionably add an air of sophistication to every outfit. A simple black turtleneck is striking in its simplicity; when worn in a colorful print or color, it can add a bold statement to your outfit.

There are myriad ways to wear them this season. A simple beige or black turtleneck looks gorgeous when paired with a trending chain-link necklace or statement drop earrings for a day-to-night look. Add a turtleneck under a button-down shirt and pair with wide-leg trousers for an Insta-worthy outfit, or layer a thin one under a slip dress for a chic fall ensemble. However you wear it, there's something uniquely powerful about a turtleneck, and you'll never regret buying one. Scroll below to see all the refreshingly cool ways to wear winter's most versatile basic and to shop our favorites on the market.

It's all about layering your turtleneck in chic ways this cold-weather season. Try a blazer over a button-down over a chic black fitted turtleneck for a winning look.

An ivory turtleneck is the perfect neutral base for a colorful vest or jacket.

Opt for a pop of color to add a vibrant touch to your wintery outfit. Try a longline cardigan over an autumnal mustard turtleneck and pair with relaxed pants.

Lean into the equestrian trend and layer a lightweight turtleneck with a fitted cardigan, a blazer, leggings, and riding boots.

The only thing sleeker than an all-black ensemble is pairing it with a chocolate-brown puffer coat. Refreshingly cool.

For a minimal-chic look, pair a fitted oatmeal-hued turtleneck with a sleek high-waisted midi skirt and barely-there sandals (or leather knee-high boots when the temps start to drop).

Bold plaid pieces are trending for fall/winter—leaning into the grunge trend we saw on the runways. It's the perfect piece to pair with a neutral turtleneck this season. Finish the look with stomping boots and a classic black blazer.

Simply add a longline blazer and logo tights to a classic black turtleneck for a chic day-to-night look. Miniskirt optional.

Turtlenecks and check blazers are a match made in heaven. For a fresh touch, add relaxed wide-leg trousers and sneakers.

Get more longevity from your utility jumpsuit this winter by layering a colorful turtleneck underneath it. Pastel blue pairs particularly well with beige.

Mix textures. Try a turtleneck with a mixed woven texture and wear with other plush fabrics, such as shearling and corduroy.

Turtlenecks are the perfect layering piece. Wear as the base layer under a button-down shirt (worn slightly open) and finish with a long coat to keep the look interesting and elevated.
