If we had to pick just one winter wardrobe staple to obsess over, without a doubt it’d be the slim turtleneck. So chic, so timeless, so effortless: The slim turtleneck is a way to keep warm while looking great. Something about the simplicity of the classic look is just stylish—and we don’t foresee it ever going out of style.
However timeless though, the humble turtleneck can sometimes feel repetitive when it’s such a staple piece. If you’re anything like us, a lazy day may entail some perfectly-fitted jeans or trousers and a turtleneck for a low-effort but nonetheless stylish look. If you’ve had your fair share of this simple outfit, it can be difficult where to go from there. If you’re not wearing your turtleneck with those pants… well then, what do you wear it with?
Because this is something we’ve all faced at some point or another (it’s easy to get stuck in a rut when the weather changes), we’ve done a little digging for some fresh new ways to style the staple. Click through the gallery below to be inspired.
