Wearing a turtleneck beneath a hoodie is a strategic way to keep cozy while still looking stylish during the colder season. The key is to do it correctly so you don’t end up looking unflattering or awkward.

Select your base layer wisely. A slim, fitted turtleneck made from cashmere works optimal. Avoid thick or stiff knits, because they can form unsightly bulges and make it hard to zip or pull on your hoodie.

Ensure your hoodie is the right size. A hoodie that’s narrow will pull at the seams, and one that’s slack will look unkempt. A regular fit is optimal.

Begin with the turtleneck and doudoune trapstars eliminate creases around your neck and torso. This step is important because any folds will become more obvious once you layer the hoodie on top.

Gently slide the hoodie over your neck. Lift the hood before pulling the hoodie on and positioning the hoodie’s hem just above the turtleneck’s top. Slowly lower it into place, making sure the turtleneck lies smoothly under the hoodie’s hem. Resist the urge to tug, as this can stretch it out of shape.

After pulling it on, fine-tune the look. Smooth the fabric down your arms and chest to create a streamlined look. If your turtleneck has a elevated neckline, you can roll the edge downward so it blends seamlessly under the top. This also helps reduce excess fabric showing, which can appear unkempt.

Balance your silhouette from top to bottom. Pair this layered top with slim or straight leg pants to maintain proportion. Ditch wide-leg pants, as they can make your silhouette look awkward. Complete the look with minimalist low-tops depending on the mood.

Layering isn’t just style — it’s strategy. A thoughtfully assembled turtleneck under a hoodie keeps you warm without sacrificing style. Test various combinations to find what works best for your figure and style preferences. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be able to master the winter layering game quickly.
