How to Fold a Turtleneck?
Here are three methods to fold a turtleneck.
Fold It into a Rectangle
By using this technique, you can create a thin rectangular shape that can be stacked to save room.
Lay the Turtleneck Front Down
The front of the turtleneck should be facing down when it is placed on a flat surface. As much as you can, smooth out any wrinkles or creases.
Fold Arms Inwards
Fold the right arm in front of the turtleneck so that it faces the left. The left arm should then be folded over the right arm.
Fold Up in Thirds
Grab the turtleneck’s bottom two corners and fold them up to the collar about halfway. Fold the turtleneck once more so that the collar is aligned.
Roll It Like a Jelly Roll
Turtlenecks can be stored wrinkle-free and in a compact, room-saving manner by rolling them up.
Lay the Turtleneck Flat
Lay it out on a flat surface and iron out any significant creases, whether it’s a cardigan or a chunky knit.
Fold the Sleeves In
Fold the right sleeve towards the left side until the right cuff is just above the turtleneck’s bottom left corner. The left sleeve should be folded in a similar manner, diagonally towards the right side, so that the cuff is just above the turtleneck’s bottom right corner.
Roll Upwards Evenly
Start rolling the turtleneck like a jelly roll, evenly but not too tightly, to get rid of any wrinkles that are starting to appear.
Use the KonMari Method
Folded turtlenecks can be kept in a dresser drawer using this technique because they can be placed side by side so that, rather than being stacked high, they are all visible and reachable.
Lay the Turtleneck Flat
Lay the turtleneck front side down on a flat surface, like a table or a bed, and smooth out any wrinkles. This is the beginning of every turtleneck folding technique, including the now-famous Marie Kondo fold.
Fold Sleeves Inward
Do the same with the left side, folding the side and sleeve towards the center of the turtleneck.
Fold in Thirds
Now, starting at the bottom of the turtleneck, fold it into thirds (so do two folds) so the folded turtleneck can “stand up” on its own.

How to Store Turtlenecks?
Never hang your turtlenecks on hangers. They will sag and lose their shape, which will harm the shoulders.
If you don’t have a lot of closet space, think about buying vacuum-sealed storage bags to keep your turtlenecks in during the summer.
The storage bags come in a variety of sizes and can reduce the size of clothing by up to 80%, making it simple to store them under the bed or inside a storage bench to free up some closet space.
In airtight storage bins is another way to keep turtlenecks during the off-season.
Similar to vacuum-sealed bags, they are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, and because they are airtight, there is no chance that moisture, dust, or other contaminants will seep in and harm them.
How to Wear a Turtleneck?
As a summary of the below tips, in every case, you should make sure that your roll neck garment:
- It is well-fitting; it’s not too tight nor too loose.
- Is it a color that complements the other elements of your lookâeither a neutral shade that doesn’t clash with anything or a shade that goes flawlessly with every element?
- Has the right fabric and texture for the formality you’re going for. Your clothing will typically be considered more formal if it is smoother and “less textured.”
