20 Style Tips On How To Wear Turtlenecks

When I heard that turtlenecks were coming back into style this fall and winter, I couldn’t even pretend to be surprised. So many ’90s clothing staples came back lately (crop tops, high-waisted jeans, even bucket hats) that I was just waiting for turtlenecks to make it through. And although I wasn’t disappointed, I was a little skeptical. Turtlenecks can be very hit-or-miss. When they’re bad, they’re SO bad. When they’re good, they’re pretty awesome.

Ashley, one of our writers, has been rocking some colorful turtlenecks lately, and it’s kind of making me want to try them for myself. While I can’t deal with something tight around my neck, I do like loose, sort of floppy turtlenecks in the form of cozy sweaters. Want to look totally on-trend and also totally ’90s at the same time? Here are 20 style tips on how to wear turtlenecks, with outfit ideas by style bloggers.
