How To Style a Black Turtleneck Sweater (Featuring Mott & Bow Cashmere Willow Turtleneck)

2/3/2022

One of my favorite winter clothing staples to stay warm and have cute cold weather outfits is definitely a cozy turtleneck sweater. 

How to Style a Black Turtleneck Sweater

A black turtleneck sweater can be worn so many ways and is an excellent layering piece for winter, let alone a staple for many in a modest capsule wardrobe. In this petite style blog post I will share some of my favorite ways to style a black turtleneck sweater!

Black Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater Outfit - Skinny Blue Jeans & Riding Boots

A simple outfit for cold days would be to wear the black (or any color) turtleneck with some jeans.

​In this case I am wearing these high waisted jeans from Mott and Bow together with tall riding boots like these. 
Picture

Black Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater Outfit - Skinny Blue Jeans & Leather Ankle Boots

Picture
Picture
An easy way to dress up this cozy look for a date night could be the addition of some cute ankle booties! 

This pair are incredibly comfortable once broken in and look so polished. I have been wearing these booties 4-5 days a week lately! 

The modest heel is enough to elevate an outfit while remaining comfortable for walking. 

​See my review of the Dari Boot here. 

Black Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater Outfit - Knotted over  Maxi Skirt (Rifle Paper Co Fabric)



Another way to wear a turtleneck sweater in winter or fall time is to wear it overtop of a dress, or as in this case, a high waisted maxi skirt! 

This skirt was custom made on Etsy and the fabric is Rifle Paper co Garden Party! If you're a whiz at sewing, check out rifle paper co fabric here and here! 

​As you can see, the Cashmere turtleneck works beautifully knotted up to create the illusion of long legs that I surely do not have, when combined with the lengthening lines of the maxi skirt.

How to Care for Cashmere Sweaters

With any garment, you should always check the label and adhere to it for the best outcome and greatest longevity. Some say dry clean only. Others say hand wash. It's generally best to lay them flat to dry if you are washing at home. 

Protect Your Sweaters With This Undershirt

Picture
Decreasing the need to launder sweaters definitely helps extend their lifespan. One way to do that is to wear a layer beneath them. I especially recommend these sweat proof undershirts. My initial review of them is here. They definitely make a huge difference, although they are a bit of an investment. Save a few bucks on them here.

Maintain Your Sweaters With These Tools

Over time it is natural for your sweaters to obtain "pills". Friction causes the fibers to bunch up into little balls that can be unsightly. But wait! Don't get rid of that sweater, it's still good!
​Try one of these tools (carefully!) to extend the life of your sweaters.

Mott & Bow High Rise Cotton Skinny Jeans Review - Beekman

12/30/2021

This fall I fell in love with Mott and Bow's super comfy high rise black skinny jeans (Bond Jean - review here, shop here). The first pair of high rise jeans I've owned and the first pair of black jeans. They felt so chic. 
Picture


​But then something happened. Let's call it ... winter. Let's call it dark, dreary, damp, cold days.

I wanted to combat the external mood with some lighter denim - Mott and Bow's High Rise Skinny Beekman Jean in Light/Medium Blue.  

Mott And Bow Women's High Waisted Skinny Jean Review - Beekman 

Picture
Mott And Bow Women's High Waisted Skinny Jean Review - Beekman
These cotton blue jeans are made of 95% cotton, 4% poly, 1% elastane. They are a heavier weight jean than the Bond and definitely have less give, but they look so, so good!

Mott and Bow Beekman Jeans Styled w/ Encircled Comfy Button Up & Nisolo Huarache Sandals

Picture
Mott and Bow Beekman Jeans Styled With Encircled Comfy Button Up and Nisolo Huarache Sandals
After your first wear you will settle right into these light blue jeans. I love the wash on these as it feels classic and timeless and adds a pair of lighter pants into my closet which is predominately black and dark blue. The ankle opening is quite narrow (as you'd expect for skinny jeans) so if that is a concern for you, but you want a lighter wash jean, you may want to try the Mott & Bow Jane Jean.

Cotton.

Tradlands Shelter Cardigan - Birch XXS - $227 (Sept 2021)

For me, Tradlands Shelter Cardigan is a no brainer for when I need to throw on an extra layer and just feel straight up cozy. The fit is different than my usual style preferences because it's slightly oversized. This is what makes it such a cozy sweater. It has a nice amount of weight and a beautiful knit. Easy to toss over winter layers or a tank top on a cooler summer night. Keep it at the office to combat those drafts. Love it.

Everlane Soft Cotton Crew Sweater - Bone XS - sale $50 (Jan 2021)

The Cotton Crew Neck Sweater from Everlane is a basic kind of sweater that you can wear casually or dress it up. I regularly wear it over one of my Tradlands button ups and I also love it underneath my Everlane Picnic Dress.

Cashmere. 

Mott & Bow Willow Oversized Cashmere V Neck Sweater - Oxblood XXS - $149 (Sept 2021)

Mott & Bow's oversized cashmere  v neck sweater in oxblood is a great addition to my sweater collection.  The color is one of my personal power colors, meaning it's a color I always feel great and confident wearing. Worn alone with jeans or a skirt, it's a quick and easy outfit. The slightly oversized fit also allows for using this as a layering piece in the warmer months. I love a button up collar peeking out from under a v neck sweater.

Everlane The Cashmere Crew Sweater - Red XS - sale $60 (Sept 2019)

I invested in some cashmere sweaters because I wanted more natural fibers in my wardrobe. I realized a huge contributing factor to difficulty regulating my temperature in the colder months was some of the synthetic fabrics that nearly all my sweaters were made of. Polyester, Acrylic, etc... These are no good for me, personally. I snagged a sale on a popular cashmere crew from Everlane. The fit of the XS is preferred and I do enjoy wearing this with jeans and patterned skirts that have red in them, as well as with solids to add a pop of color in the cold months.

 Everlane The Cashmere Crew Sweater - Mustard Yellow S - sale $60 (Sept 2019)

Like the previous sweater, I snagged the mustard yellow cashmere sweater from everlane on sale and the only size was Small. I still wear this sweater regularly, although I definitely refer the XS fit on this sweater. I love the cheery yellow color and it pairs well with other colors I reach for regularly - navy, forest green, maroon, black.

Cotton Cashmere Blend.

Mott & Bow Emma Light Ribbed Cotton Cashmere Crew - Black XS - $99 (Sept 2021)

This lightweight cotton cashmere sweater is like a dream. A high crew neckline and fitted silhouette make for a really chic look with no effort at all. It's a wonderful weight for transitional seasons or as a base layer in colder months.

Again, an excellent transitional sweater that is not too heavy and almost like a long sleeve fitted shirt, but better and cozier. The ribbed fabric blend gives it a bit of stretch making it nice to wear over a button down as well!

Wool.

Quince Australian Merino Wool Open Cardigan Sweater - Navy XS - $39.90 (Feb 2021)

An easy cardigan with pockets to toss on for a little extra warmth but without being bulky. The Quince Merino Wool Cardigan is a cardigan without buttons, it has roomy pockets, and is super soft. Be careful when washing/drying because I accidentally popped mine in the dryer on auto once and I think it did shrink a bit, although not to an unwearable point.

Encircled The Dressy Sweatshirt - Navy XS - $154  (Nov 2018)

The first "better" sweater I invested in, from Encircled clothing - The Dressy Sweatshirt. This sweatshirt is made from a blend including rayon from bamboo and merino wool. They now have another wool free sweater blend available in this design. I find the wide neckline is too wide for  my frame and petite style preferences. I still like to wear it as a quick throw on layer, especially when traveling.

Overall, I feel like my sweater collection is pretty robust, but here are some additions I would consider in the future. 

Mott & Bow Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater Willow in Black, $149

Mott & Bow Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater, $149
I love a good turtleneck in the wintertime and my black one is probably on it's last season. Actually, I said that last season, but I may be able to squeeze one more out of it. We'll see! It is not my ideal blend of fabric, so when I replace it I will definitely be factoring fabric in like this cashmere turtleneck from Mott & Bow.

Tradlands Jude Pullover Sweater, $217

Mott & Bow Try On - Fall Basics For Women

Proud to be a Mott & Bow Affiliate. All opinions are my own. 
Tags: Mott & Bow • Style
It's Fall, ya'll! Today is officially the first day of Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and we're kicking it off with a try on from Mott & Bow. 
This try on will include a brief first impressions Mott & Bow review of each of the following items:
​
  • Mott & Bow High Rise Skinny Jean - Bond Black
  • Mott & Bow Light Ribbed Cotton/Cashmere Crew - Emma in Black
  • Mott & Bow Light Ribbed Cotton/Cashmere V Neck - Emma in Ivory
  • Mott & Bow Cashmere Oversized V Neck - Willow in Oxblood

Look for future styling of these affordable elevated basics for women under Mott & Bow Reviews
High Rise Skinny Bond Black

Mott & Bow High Rise Skinny Jean - Bond Black.

Mott & Bow's Bond Jean is a black skinny jean for women available in High-Rise and Mid-Rise. I grew up in the time of the low rise jean and I am just coming around to high waisted styles. High waisted styles are very flattering for petite pear shaped women and I love a defined waist in dresses or skirts, so here I am giving it a try with jeans and I have to say.... I'm in love!

Mott And Bow Black High Rise Skinny Jeans - Bond 27x28

​I recently tried the mid-rise skinny jean from Everlane and the overall fit is okay, but as soon as I pulled the Bond jean on and buttoned it I just felt understood. That's the only way I can explain it. The fit is excellent for my body shape and preference. There's no gap at my waist like I normally experience. The Bond jean's balance of stretch and structure is ideal.

Mott & Bow Light Ribbed Cotton/Cashmere Crew - Emma Black.

The Emma Crew Neck Cotton and Cashmere Mott and Bow Sweater is basically my dream everyday long sleeve shirt / lightweight sweater. I got the XS and I love the way this piece fits me! This is a piece I will reach for at least once a week because it's such a wardrobe staple. 
Mott & Bow Emma Crew Neck Cotton Cashmere Sweater, Black XS
Mott & Bow Emma Crew Neck Cotton Cashmere Sweater, Black XS
The blend is 85% Cotton and 15% Cashmere. With that much cotton it feels durable, yet snuggly because of the cashmere addition. The ribbed fabric creates some textural interest and I forgot firsthand how much I love this. Many of my basics are smooth and super soft which makes them comfy as anything, but also makes it really easy to see any little line and it's an unreasonable pet peeve of mine when bra lines etc are overly visible through a shirt. Completely avoiding that issue here and couldn't be more pleased. 
Please note: The neck opening on this sweater is on the narrower side and doesn't stretch, so be sure to put it on with care! I actually love where it sits so I wouldn't change the design at all. 
The Best Basics. Summer Ready.

Mott & Bow Light Ribbed Cotton/Cashmere V Neck - Emma Ivory.

This ivory lightweight sweater is the same as the previous Emma, only in Ivory and the V neck option. 
Shown below with a quince silk cami underneath, as I find the V neck just a bit too open for my comfort. 
As with most light colored and light weighted sweaters and tops, it's not going to be as opaque as the black... obviously! If this has an impact on purchasing decisions, take a look at my shoulder in the photo. You'll be able to see the cami and a dark strap beneath. With a flesh toned bra, you'll always do better!

Mott & Bow Cashmere Oversized V Neck - Willow Oxblood.

The Cashmere Oversized V Neck Sweater from Mott and Bow in Oxblood is just stunning. It's hard to capture the color accurately on camera, but check for more Mott & Bow Styling posts for cashmere sweater outfits in different settings. The oversized fit coupled with lightweight nature if the cashmere makes it easy to tuck and drape. Below you'll see the cashmere sweater tucked into black high waisted skinny jeans - the same pair from mott and bow mentioned above (bond jeans).

Is it Burgundy or Maroon? Cashmere Sweater
A fun way to get more versatility from your wardrobe is also to try wearing things in reverse. It won't work with every piece, but I think it works great with the Willow sweater. It gives you a high neckline in the front and a dip in the back, which I always think is somehow elegant? Also makes for a great opportunity to show off your favorite lariat necklaces.
