How To Wear An Oversized Turtleneck Sweater That Will Not Make You Look Bigger

Are you, like me, afraid of wearing oversized turtleneck sweaters? Is it because sometimes they can make you look like you don’t have a neck? Because that’s always my fear! I honestly had to re-shoot this as my first pictures were not the ones I was expecting them to be. But I do find a trick on how to style it and will make your neck look longer.

Styling Turtleneck Sweater

Tie Your Hair

As you can see below, I tied my hair back. It’s already drawing attention to my head and face. Especially when you look at me as compared to my hair being down. Don’t be so afraid to show those features, because it’s a simple way to show the turtleneck also!How To Wear An Oversized Turtleneck Sweater That Will Not Make You Look Bigger

Tuck In The Front Of The Shirt

I’ve also only tucked in the front of my sweater. This is so it doesn’t make me look bigger and wider since this is an oversized sweater. I pulled the sleeves a little bit but it doesn’t need to be, It just added style to it.

Wear Black Pants

I also wore a pair of black pants to make my legs look longer. I am actually 5’6″ in height but my torso is actually longer than my legs and I also am a little heavy in my thighs. So when I wore black pants they created a silhouette of longer legs.

Wear Ankle Boots

Lastly, I wore heeled ankle boots to complete the whole ensemble. You could wear knee-high boots or heels with this kind of outfit, but I wanted to keep it simple and stylish! You can wear any color, but you can see that I chose something close to the color of my turtleneck sweater.

What To Wear With Turtleneck

You can’t go wrong with a pair of jeans and a sweater. If it’s cold outside, throw on a pair of boots for warmth. If it’s warm outside, try flip-flops or sandals. And if you’re feeling like something a little more dressy, try a skirt or dress under your turtleneck sweater. You can even add some heels if you want to make it extra fancy! 

And don’t forget your accessories! A necklace or bracelet will help pull together any kind of turtleneck outfit and make it stand out from the crowd. You can see that I wore a simple black and gold watch, stud pearl earrings, and a pair of metal rim cat eye sunglasses. I was also carrying a bag similar to the Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Speedy 3 bag.

You can still stay small with an oversized turtleneck!

Oversized turtlenecks are the perfect way to keep things casual and warm. They’re also so easy to style that you can wear them on their own or layer them under a jacket or cardigan. 

I know you can relate to me if we have the same body type as I always think that turtlenecks only look good when worn by a very skinny person. It proved me wrong when I tried wearing it differently.

I love oversized turtlenecks for their versatility: they’re a great way to make any outfit look polished and put-together, but they also go with your favorite pair of jeans and a leather jacket. The best part is that there’s no wrong way to wear one!

I hope I was able to show you all that you don’t have to be afraid to wear this type of sweater. 

Simply,
