Black turtlenecks, versatile and perfect on their own tucked into a skirt or jeans. It also work beautifully when layered as I styled giving that swan-like effect.
I tucked a black fitted turtleneck into my black pallazo for an easy black base layered the low v-cut sleeveless peplum on top. I finished the outfit with my go-to sunglasses, and faux fur pom pom heels makes it perfect for a night out or a meeting during the day.
How to style a black turtleneck
- Choosing the appropriate turtleneck for the weather.
The lightweight turtlenecks are ideal for layering – works for those of us in Nigeria with somewhat hot or cold especially during the harmattan season and rainy season.
- Embrace a monochromatic look.
No one ever goes wrong in a monochromatic look. These elevates the look from a nothing-to-wear matching pieces of same colour to form a viable outfits. All in black – pair of turtleneck and a high waist pallazo, heels, sunglasses without the sleeveless shirt would makes a good monochromatic look.
- Mixing up minimalist look with stripes.
Style you hair into a sleek bun – this slims out and makes the neck appear longer and keeps away from discomfort – with stud earrings for a classic minimalist look. To complete the look layered with a stripe sleeveless that makes its way to the minimalist wardrobe.
- Ditch the blazer or jacket
When wearing sleeveless isn’t quite possible, turtleneck allows you to wear your sleeveless clothing without replacing the use of a jacket. Considering the sleeveless without the turtleneck, the turtleneck elevates the whole outfit by providing coverage to the low v-cut sleeveless top allowing this outfit appropriate for work or church.

![[FUN FACTS]: My top is a hand-me-down from my mom and it is 29 years old 🤗Can you imagine that?!
It had a puff sleeve which I upcycled by simply taking them off. While washing, it bleeds out which I find surprising - but shines like brand new when it’s dry.
Should we talk about the quality of ankara fabric from way back compared to now or should we leave the discussion for another day?!😆😆😆
