And speaking of layering, there is a particular base layer that needs our full attention: the turtleneck top. Whether it’s the timeless jersey turtleneck or a luxe activewear half-zip top, this resourceful staple lends itself to the smart styling trick of layering, emerging as a versatile and effortlessly cool option to have as one of the building blocks of our wardrobe.

The key to nailing this layered look lies in investing in super-fine, quality fabrics. Soft-stretch lyocell and light wool not only provide the necessary warmth for a cold winter’s day but also offer a luxurious feel against the skin. These materials ensure that your ensemble feels as good as it looks.

To infuse a touch of chic into your cool style, opt for a winning colour palette when selecting elevated base layers. Choose neutrals ranging from sandy tones to various shades of grey and brown, and, of course, black.

Here are the most on-point pieces I found so far.
