An interesting and functional way to add a warm layer to a Fall/Winter outfit. Here’s how to wear a turtleneck under a shirt.
Wearing it with a suit is a no brainer. People think it has an old school feel to it, but the turtleneck sweater has made a big return.
If you think a turtleneck can only be worn one way – think again. A turtleneck can also be worn under a dress shirt and blazer. Here’s a few ways to do it.

With the cold weather – layering is key. Layering a thin turtleneck under a dress shirt and blazer is one way to add some extra warmth.
A great turtleneck sweater can pretty much replace a scarf. If it’s really cold, wearing one under a dress shirt also gives you some extra layers, and of course, add a scarf if you really need it. If it’s super cold, add Uniqlo’s heattech as the base layer.
Also, if it’s not too cold out, the turtleneck can completely negate the need for a scarf.

A turtleneck under a shirt also removes the need for a tie. You are now on a whole different plane of fancy with this. A thin turtleneck might be best for you, but for these looks I’m using a Merino wool knit. Try out and see what level of thickness works best for you.
PRO TIP: Think about where you’ll be rocking this look. Hot office? Warm theater? If you tend to sweat a lot or get hot really easily, maybe try lighter fabrics or perhaps this look might not work ( or be safe!) for you.
Thanks for reading and y’all stay dandy.
