Throwing on an oversized cardigan (especially a bright one for that pop of color) over your black turtleneck sweater is the easiest way to style it for everyday wear. The skinny black pants balance out the oversized top so you still look fashionable but without too much effort.
2. Faux Leather Joggers & Denim Jacket

Both black turtleneck tops and faux leather joggers can be dressed up or down. I went the casual outfit route by pairing them with white sneakers and a fun denim jacket.
3. Leggings and Oversized Puffer Vest

If you need a little extra warmth, layer an oversized puffer vest over a fitted black turtleneck and black leggings. It’s a great way to stay warm during transitional weather. Wear this look on a hike, running errands or to the soccer field.
If you need waterproof boots, I’ve got you covered.
4. Burgundy Pants & Puffer Vest

5. Long Shacket

The turtleneck style is just asking to be part of a layered look! And of course one of my favorite ways to layer is with a shacket. This long coat is the perfect addition to your winter wardrobe and to your black turtleneck top.
6. Blazer & Skinny Jeans
