The piece

How to choose and wear a turtleneck

A fitted knit with a folded high neck. Under a blazer or coat it replaces a shirt and tie; on its own it looks sleek and minimal.

How to choose

  • Fine merino layers under jackets; thicker knits work alone.
  • A neck that folds cleanly and doesn't sag.
  • Black, cream, grey and camel.

Common mistakes

  • ✕A thick, loose neck that swallows the chin.
  • ✕Wearing it with a tie-and-shirt dress code.
  • ✕Pilled knit at the neck.

Care: Hand wash or wool cycle, dry flat.

In a capsule: The smart winter top of a capsule: works with tailoring and jeans.

Fabric
A cold-weather piece: wool, knit, leather and suede sit best with it.

Avoid

What not to wear with camel turtleneck

Skip the grey sneakers. Camel and grey are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
Skip the light blue denim jacket. A denim jacket is more casual than a turtleneck, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: light blue is cool and bright against warm camel; it works, but white or grey would be crisper.
