You can combine a turtleneck blouse with several different pieces to create a look that suits your style.

Volume

Turtleneck blouses can be made of lighter fabrics or thicker wools. If you opt for a heavier piece, the tip is to wear it alone or with an equally bulky jacket on top. Since the piece is quite full, if you put on a tighter jacket or a thinner coat, you will lose visual proportion.

We will show you which is the best option for these occasions.

With blazer and vest

When complementing a suit for the office, you can wear an overcoat over the blazer on colder days. The main tip is: blouses with lighter fabrics call for tighter jackets. Blouses with thicker fabrics call for jackets with more volume.

Color Contrast

If you want to be a little bolder in your choice of pieces, work with harmonic colors: like gray and navy blue, and brown and beige. You can also play with contrasting colors if you want a more youthful style.

Stripped

The easiest way to wear a turtleneck is to combine it with jeans. When the blouse is plain, without prints and monochromatic, it is very elegant to wear it without a jacket. To avoid being too cold, wear another blouse underneath.

If you are shorter, wear pants in the same shade as the blouse. If your neck is too thick, opt for a more open collar; if your neck is too short, invest in a collar with horizontal stripes in the garment.

Do you think you are chubbier? Then wear a darker turtleneck or, if you want a lighter shade, wear a black jacket over it.
