How to Accessorize a Turtleneck
November 13, 2020

Last week, reader Debbie posed this question:


I find I love turtlenecks more than ever as I age but haven’t tried jewelry yet with them or other accessories…. what do you suggest? 

What a perfect question for the season.

The iconic turtleneck can become a marvelous backdrop for jewelry and even scarves.

Statement Necklace

A turtleneck is the perfect backdrop for the focal point of your outfit.

A turtleneck is the canvas for a statement necklace.

Classic

A long chain creates a sophisticated look.

Pearls

Pearls–simply elegant.

Lariat

Note how this simple lariat blends subtly with the color of the turtleneck.

Long Pendant

Y-Necklace

Layer

Go Daring

This choker may not be for everyone.

Create your own Turtleneck with a Scarf

You can tie a scarf over a turtleneck, too.

“Ears Only”

Meghan Markle wears “earrings only” with her turtleneck.

Turtlenecks aren’t going anywhere. So have fun accessorizing with your own QUINTESSENTIAL STYLE.

Debbie, thanks for your question. Hope this helps. Happy Holidays.

As I age I see wrinkles on my neck that would definitely disappear behind a turtleneck. I notice Diane Keaton wearing turtlenecks in a lot of her movies even as a young actress. I think turtlenecks are basically a blank canvas that you can accessorize easier than most other tops.

    Yes, Janet,
    We tend to think of the turtle neck as the feature, but it is simply the backdrop for all our favorite add-ons.

I love to wear turtlenecks when it is real cold, because they are warm. Thanks for all the
good ideas to accessorize them!
