3 Genius Ways to Wear a Turtleneck with Your Party Outfit

Style your navy turtleneck with a metallic gold one-piece (it's a color combo that may not readily come to mind, but it's proven to be a fashionable pairing all the same) and bump up the texture with faux fur extras and sleek patent Mary Jane-inspired pumps.

If you've set your sights on a cocktail dress, but the thought of baring your arms is too much to take, layer your navy turtleneck underneath. Round out your look by picking up on the dress's colors and carrying it over to your accessories. Try styling your cuffs and bangles over the sweater's sleeves.

Throw old-school fashion rules out the window and couple navy and black together for a contemporary-cool look. Layer your turtleneck under a cami, but then add interest with a slew of statement-makers, like a twirl-worthy fringe skirt, a talon-like crawler of an earring, a lip clutch, and glittery boots.
