Here's how to put together an interesting outfit with just a turtleneck and a coat. For the bottom, we can imagine the simplest outfit: raw or bleach jeans and minimalist sneakers.
#3 KEEP A LITTLE MYSTERY
Don't choose it too tight... especially if it is thin to medium weight!
This can cause a visual cataclysm, revealing any overweight and drawing out the breasts. For obvious reasons, let's avoid this.

The Edward Sexton costume is magnificent. The emerald color of the turtleneck is perfect complement to this vibrant gray. However, if Richard Biedul is wearing the open suit here for the purposes of the photo, he should not wear the turtleneck alone: it is far too thin and tight. And, immediately, it would become disturbing.
So if you have a very fitted turtleneck, use it for layering.
#4 OPT FOR THE RIGHT NECK LENGTH
The turtleneck should cover most of your neck. Too short, it seems ridiculous, because it lacks the function it
If you have a long neck, the turtleneck will help you give the illusion of a shorter neck, for example by dressing it in a dark color. If you have a short neck, make sure that the collar does not have too many folds, which would accentuate the impression of smallness on your neck.
In short, if we want to take the lead, the turtleneck should reach three-quarters of the neck. But it's really if you want to take care of yourself. If we just avoid choosing a ridiculously short or too long turtleneck, then we stay away from any faux pas.

When the turtleneck is well chosen, it highlights the head of its wearer.
#5 DON’T DO TOO MUCH
Well, you will see in the many inspirations that follow but the watchword is: stay sober!
I think the turtleneck is loud and striking enough as it is. The most natural colors, as the Italians like to wear them, are for me the most advantageous for you : off-white, gray (especially light and mouse), camel, brown, beige, dark green and navy blue .
These are colors found in nature.
It is also a very good sartorial philosophy to
I think we are at the limit of the exercise. The yellow/green color of the turtleneck is calmed by the rest of the outfit. This is what you should do if you want to opt for a color that is out of the ordinary. And then having a photo taken by a professional also helps.

A WORD FROM NICOLÒ:
“The turtleneck, for me, is everything and it will never cease to surprise me.
Some of you will say that it's a lazy play and my answer is... yes. And it's a good thing ! In fact, the turtleneck has the ability to add a “second level of reading” to any outfit. Every time you combine it with something else, your look gains a “casual retro elegance” facet. But without erasing its initial connotation. It completes it, in fact.
For example, this outfit, with a simple t-shirt or shirt, would have been a “fan of denim and big boots”. But then you add the turtleneck, and the magic happens: suddenly, this outfit is covered with a certain delicacy, where everything was only “raw, raw, raw”. Obviously this is a little reinforced by the softness of the camel between the suede boots and the sweater.
Moreover, note how the collar of a turtleneck perfectly complements the shirt collar of the jacket... And know that it would be the same with a coat with pointed lapels, the collar of a bomber, that of a perfecto, or just about anything else. Try it if you don’t believe me!”
JORDAN, THE SOLDIER ON LEAVE
Turtleneck: Harpo
It's quite simple, I spend my winter in a turtleneck. I don't have enough of it for my liking and I think I could wear just this all winter. For me, it instantly adds a touch of controlled elegance and sophistication. A guy in a turtleneck, if it's done badly, it can scare children, it's true, and their parents. However, done well, it is exquisite.
And then this type of collar goes with everything. Literally. By imitating the verticality of the neck, it imitates its naturalness.
What I like about this piece is also that you can do without a scarf in winter. Scarf that I am very likely to lose when the time goes on into the night and the bar is about to close. But also, doing without a scarf means doing without the obligation to match the color and pattern of this scarf to your entire outfit already constructed.
Also, as Nicolò says, the turtleneck is a lazy person's thing. And it suits me very well that way. You can't imagine the joy it is, when you don't have the time or the desire to iron a shirt, to say to yourself: "I'll wear a t-shirt, a turtleneck, jeans, a jacket here we go." This thought of ease, of having already won the battle of elegance, would alone get me out of bed.
I like to try improbable layering with the turtleneck: under a cardigan, under a shirt like here, under a round-neck sweater but I have never tried under another turtleneck. Ultimately, the limit of the turtleneck is itself.
Even Shuhei Nishiguchi tries it... (He is in the center) And, believe me, he is a man of taste.
THE FINAL WORD...
It is a piece accessible to everyone, practical, easy to wear at any stage of building your wardrobe. For me, it's even an essential, just like the blazer and raw jeans. For a first purchase, choose camel, medium gray or light. This is what goes best with navy blue.
And, aside from those who don't like this light tightness on the throat, I'm betting that you'll love winter, just to be able to wear turtlenecks.
