I know bone-chilling winter is here for a while and I’ll struggle to stay warm. One of the things I worry about is nailing the turtleneck, that crucial wardrobe essential that functions under oversized sweaters or as its own statement piece. Is cowl-neck the way to go? Or mock-? Ribbed? Boatneck? A-line? Drop-shoulder or raglan? Clearly there are too many choices, so help yourself to these stylish recommendations from fashion experts.   

Gather Tee by Free People

Dress up your black jeans with this black-and-white check turtleneck, says Stephanie Thornton Plymale, author, CEO of Heritage School of Interior Design and a lifestyle blogger focused on design and fashion on a budget. What she loves is that it sports a vintage vibe, which is on-trend in fashion and design. It’s stretchy, lightweight, comfy and perfect to layer up, she promises.

Ann Mashburn Superfine Funnel-Neck Sweater

McCaslin says to consider this gorgeous superfine, semi-sheer, 100 percent Mongolian cashmere sweater. It’s an amazing piece to get maximum “cost-per-wear” in your wardrobe and is offered in the best buildable neutrals. McCaslin’s tip: Wear over a cami or under another sweater.

Cropped Turtleneck Sweater by H&M

Layer this sweater with a comfy tee and a pair of high-waisted jeans or even a mini skirt, Plymale recommends. Once the temperature plummets, add leggings and boots for a stylish look. “We love the modest price point for this wardrobe basic,” she adds.

Side-Button Turtleneck Vest by Anthropologie

“I’m loving this truly timeless staple,” Plymale admits, suggesting that the cozy-chic, chunky knit piece in bronze is sublime with a pair of pleather leggings or even tucked into a mini skirt. To evoke a seasonal voguish look, she suggests throwing on your favorite knee-high suede boots.
