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

Your puffer vest can be part of a bit more polished look too! Swap out your leggings for some rich burgundy pants and black leather boots.

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

If you’re looking for a tailored look for work or a business meeting, wear an oversized blazer over your black top and balance out the silhouette with black skinny jeans. It’s an easy way to make office wear look chic without being the nerd in the turtleneck!

There are lots of chic ways to wear black turtleneck outfits. Take it out to date night with a leather midi skirt. In the cooler months, go with a heeled boot; in the spring and summer, dress it up with a pair of heels.
