Brazen Blue
Cerulean blue is as inspiring as a clear, cloud-free day, which is a sign of good fortune. Balance out a demure trench with a spirited hue like this for an element of surprise.

Tucked and Away
Fashionable prints work well with solids. Select a high-waisted skirt and tuck in your turtleneck to contrast colors while accentuating your form. It's a neat, put-together look that can be duplicated with multiple variations.

70s Glam
If you’re the type of fashion lover that relishes in multiple accessories, exotic fabrics and statement pieces, then you would easily kill this 70s-inspired look. The wider the neck of your top the better. Layer it with a knee-length fur vest and a wide-brimmed floppy hat for a next-level look.

High Low
Overalls have made a huge comeback in the last few years and fashion girls everywhere are creatively styling these 90s farm-inspired pants into original displays of fashion. If you ever thought overalls were too blasé, throw them on over a pumpkin-colored turtleneck and slide into a pair of nude pink pumps for a quick outfit upgrade.

A Twist on an Old Fave
Luckily, not all turtlenecks are created the same. If you’re bored with the classic, opt for a short-sleeve version with an edgy leather detail. Pair it with a pair of fitted blue jeans like a rebel in style.

Tailored Precision
If you’re a minimalist with a strict color palette, take a page from the runway and choose a tailored monochromatic look. Cape a simple cardigan around your shoulders and grab a pair of classic oxfords. This is an ensemble perfect for work or an evening out.

The Boyfriend Turtleneck
