Can You Wear a Turtleneck as a Wedding Guest?

A turtleneck at a wedding works when paired with pieces that elevate its formality—think the structure of a blazer to anchor the outfit or heeled sandals to lift it into guest-appropriate territory. Cargo pants and a leather belt keep the look polished without veering into overly casual, while a wool scarf adds a finished layer if the venue or season calls for it.
