One thing I like is making a basic outfit unique in some way. That’s how you show your true self: by adding a touch that’s uniquely you. So as I provide possibilities for you to create new outfits from basic wardrobe pieces, it’s up to you to choose what you love best. Today’s basic is a turtleneck. Following are the style elements of it, how to accessorize it, different ways to wear it in general and outfit combinations.
