Seasons and trends come and go, but one thing is for sure: Winter calls for layering, and lots of it. If you’ve already exhausted your styling tricks or you’re in need of inspiration for the coldest months ahead, we have a clever solution for you: Instead of picking up a thick, chunky sweater (which can be difficult to wear under a coat or will feel too warm on the subway), try mixing in a fitted, wildly printed turtleneck instead. You can wear it under almost everything in your closet, from slip dresses to button-downs to cardigans—and in a mood-lifting print, it may even cure your winter blues.

You’d be surprised just how easy it is to incorporate a zebra-striped turtleneck into your wardrobe—and how much cooler you’ll feel as a result. Swap a neutral long-sleeved top for a tie-dyed one for a pop of color under a blazer, then add a baggy trouser and sneakers for the full borrowed-from-the-boys look. Richard Quinn’s neon floral turtleneck would add some much-needed fun to the new year, or try Rokh’s checkered version under a leather trench. Another tip: Scrunch your jacket sleeves around your elbows to reveal more of what’s underneath.

With prices ranging from $30 to $285, these printed turtlenecks are an accessible, no-brainer addition to your winter layering game—and they’d make a great gift for your stylish friend, too. Shop 11 of our favorites below.
