Turtlenecks + Cardigans.

turtleneck and cardigan

My winter 2020 uniform has been turtlenecks layered beneath chunky cardigans. (And, despite my best efforts, I’m back, most days, in jeans. They are just easier for me to pair with boots on cold days!) Above, I’m wearing a tissue turtleneck from J. Crew (I now own like ten of these) and this Vita Grace cardigan. I have been branching out into patterned turtlenecks recently — I especially love this tartan style from J. Crew (70% off right now)! I have also snagged a couple of excellent chunky cardigans from Zara this season, including this one with the most perfect jeweled buttons.

To sustain this winter vibe, I am currently majorly lusting after…

THESE PRINTED LA DOUBLE J TURTLENECKS (!!!!!!!!!)

THIS DOEN CARDIGAN (THE POMS!)

THIS GUCCI CARDIGAN (LOOK FOR LESS WITH THIS)

THIS VARSITY-VIBE CARDI FROM MANGO

KULE STRIPED TURTLENECKS

THIS FUN FAIR ISLE STYLE CARDI FROM J. CREW (ON SALE)

THIS DARK FLORAL TURTLENECK

THIS FLORAL EMBROIDERED CARDIGAN

THIS CHUNKY CABLEKNIT CARDI ($120!)

THESE UNDER-$20 FORM-FITTING TURTLENECKS

THIS PLAID TURTLENECK FROM RAG&BONE

THIS PLAID CARDIGAN WOULD BE SO CHIC OVER A BLACK TURTLENECK WITH NO 6 CLOG BOOTS

COLORFUL STATEMENT CARDI

If cardigans just aren’t your style, I also love layering a turtleneck under a blazer like this (but then go high-waisted on the jeans, tuck in your turtleneck, and make sure your shoes are FIERCE to avoid looking too buttoned up — think embellished biker boots like these) OR under a funnel neck sweatshirt like this (I own this exact style in the camel color and especially like it layered over a striped turtleneck) or this (!!! — such good colors).

Most often, I’m wearing this little cardi-turti combo at home with my velvet house slippers (similar here), and I like to throw on embellished stud earrings like these or these in the evenings to mark the end of the work day and the launch of happy hour.

What’s your winter uniform looking like?

P.S. More turtlenecks I love here.

P.P.S. A strange day trip abroad.
