There are garments that cross the seasons, and time, without losing their appeal, and the turtleneck is one of these without a doubt. Essential, sophisticated, and suitable for every season, in winter 2026 it becomes the precious ally, the garment never to be without in a woman's wardrobe (and in a man's too).

Why we like it so much is easily said: it warms, it slims, it builds the look naturally. And above all, it goes with everything, from day to evening, without the need for scene changes. With the right mix and match, in fact, it is possible to create an infinity of looks and styles that are always different.

Inwinter 2026, the turtleneck is confirmed as a mainstay of women's wardrobe, declined in different versions to meet increasingly transversal needs of style and comfort. To be worn from morning to evening, for the office, for leisure and for special occasions, here are this season's must-have models.

Trendy turtlenecks for winter 2026: the must-have models

Turtlenecks, in name and in fact. This basic garment, characterised by a high collar and a close-fitting line, has over the years become a must-have for the winter season and for colder days in spring and autumn. We like it because, as we have already mentioned, it is endowed with an over-the-top beauty capable of characterising the entire look, but also because, thanks to the different combinations, it can be declined in so many styles.

Among the must-have winter garments is the timeless turtleneck sweater: the perfect base for constructing every outfit. Clean lines, soft yarns, a close but comfortable fit: it is perfect under blazers, coats and structured jackets. In neutral colours such as cream, beige, grey, black, it becomes an elegant second skin, ideal for both office looks and more relaxed outfits.

Then we find turtleneck jumpers, which give warmth and character and become the garment never to be without for the most chilly. More full-bodied, more enveloping, turtleneck jumpers are the stars of the coziest winter looks. They are worn with tailored trousers, denim or midi skirts, creating interesting contrasts between soft volumes and clean lines.

For a more casual and urban look, on the other hand, we recommend the turtleneck pullover, a well-balanced and versatile garment that can be worn when needed. Not too light, not too heavy, this garment accompanies the whole season with ease. It works well in everyday looks, but also in more refined contexts, if matched carefully.

Two, on the other hand, are the most feminine models of the season, to be alternated according to the occasion. We are talking about maxi sweaters and dresses. The former are the emblem of comfort that becomes style. Wide, long, wrapping: turtleneck maxi sweaters are among the most loved garments of the winter.They can be worn with leggings, tight trousers or high boots, becoming almost a mini-dress. They are perfect for those who like a relaxed yet studied look, where comfort is an integral part of the look.

Turtleneck dresses, on the other hand, minimal and sophisticated, are the elegant and unassuming answer to colder days. Clean, linear and with warm fabrics, they can be worn from evening to morning.

How to wear and match turtlenecks in winter

The turtleneck, in all its versions, knows many declinations: glamorous, elegant, refined, feminine and even casual. During the day, for example, this garment becomes the perfect base for so many looks. It can be worn under blazers, with high-waisted trousers and midi skirts.

Inthe evening, just change the context: more fluid fabrics, dark or deep colours, more fitted lines. The turtleneck remains the protagonist, but takes on a different tone. And with the right combinations, and the choice of model, it can also become elegant and decisive for more formal looks.
