How to wear a scarf with turtleneck

This is my favorite turtleneck sweater and I wear it all the time, especially in winter. I think a simple, black, cashmere roll neck is the ideal frame for your favorite scarves.

Did you know that polo-neck( Roll neck, or turtleneck) exists from at least the 15th century and were worn by knights under chainmail? In the 20th century it was popularized by movie stars like Jane Mansfield, Audrey Hepburn and Gretta Garbo.
