A good foundation to a solid closet is to start with the basics. In this post, we'll style this cozy turtleneck. With the right accessories, a simple staple can be transformed into a range of looks. Here are three examples.

A Feminine Touch

For a flirty, feminine look, it's as easy as pairing it with the right skirt. Luckily, most skirts will work with an oversized, solid, gray sweater. Experiment with different lengths, colors, and textures. The finishing touch is in the shoes. For a light and airy feel, we went with all neutral tones, and delicate jewelry.

Give it an Edge

For that cool girl look, a simple trick is: black on black on black. Oh, and sunglasses for a mysterious vibe! In addition to your knit sweater, I recommend adding a classic leather jacket to the inventory of basics in your closet. It took me years to find just the right one, but now I can turn to it to make any outfit on point.

Playful Comfort

For a playful, casual look, style your outfit with quirky accessories. Let your personality shine! I love that this donut bag is a conversation starter. Choose pieces that will bring a smile to your face and those around you. Also, choose cool, comfortable pieces like relax fit pants. To finish, keep your look fresh with a pair of clean white shoes.
