When we were kids, turtlenecks [1] were itchy, uncomfortable, and a sign that it was really cold outside. Well, now they're the comfortable sweaters we want to wear all fall and winter long. They keep us nice and toasty, they're not itchy if you buy the right material, and they're ideal layering pieces. In short, they're what you want to be wearing this season. If you're stumped on what to shop, may we suggest these 18 styles?
We found cropped turtlenecks [2] that look great with a high waisted bottom, thinner turtlenecks that make for ideal layering pieces, and of course, plenty of cosy, oversize styles. Plus, there are a few cashmere picks [3] we selected, because why not? Now you definitely can't accuse turtlenecks of being itchy. Keep on reading to shop our selects, and happy sweater season [4]!
