Scarves are one of the best accessories for keeping warm in the winter and there's a variety of styles to choose from. However, they can oftentimes be bulky and cumbersome. What if we told you that you can ditch your wool scarf for an alternative? There's a way to keep your neck toasty without having to wrap yourself up like a mummy, while still looking chic at the same time.

Oversized turtlenecks are the perfect answer to ditching scarves

Instead of a bulky scarf, reach for your coziest turtleneck. A classic black look never goes out of style and is the perfect solution for keeping your décolletage warm without having to add another layer to your outfit. Wear a sleek one under an oversized blazer for a modern look. An added bonus is you won't have to keep putting on and taking off your scarf throughout the day.

Incorporate a winter white turtleneck into your wardrobe

Just like a black turtleneck, a white knit with sleek lines is a must-have for your wardrobe. The classic look can be paired with anything, from high-waisted jeans to a long wool skirt. Pair one with a bulkier coat for balance, such as a shearling jacket, which happens to be a timeless piece as well.

Let your turtleneck be the star of your outfit

Choose a turtleneck in a bright color and make that the statement piece of your outfit. A fiery red sweater is the perfect pop of color and will look amazing against a snowy backdrop. Keep the rest of your outfit's colors neutral, such as black or dark gray. Keeping warm doesn't have to be boring!

Pair an oversized turtleneck sweater with a trench

There's nothing cozier than a chunky turtleneck sweater on a cold winter's day. An oversized one means you can layer a tank top or T-shirt underneath for added warmth. Pair your sweater with a light trench for a minimalistic look. The end result? A chic outfit without being overly bulky.

Keep your whole body warm with a turtleneck sweater dress

Turtleneck sweaters are great for the winter but a turtleneck sweater dress is even better. Wrap yourself in a warm hug with a bulky knit that will keep your neck and your legs toasty. Pair the dress with knee-high boots and you'll be as snug as a bug in a rug. If the weather is super chilly, throw on a trench or puffer coat and your outfit is complete.
