RRL

Super Soft Supima Turtleneck

A supersoft option made out of wrinkle-resistant Supima—and at a bargain price, too. Lands’ End keeps you warm and sleek, without all the unnecessary bulk. With reinforced shoulder seams and a fabric designed to resist pilling and shrinking, this is one you buy once and wear forever.

Ribbed Slim-Fit Knitted Pullover Turtleneck Sweater

A simple, slim-fit turtleneck. It’s comfortable, and at only 35 bucks, it feels illegally cheap. Given its slim fit, this style is one we love for layering—under a blazer or even a baggier sweater, you’re golden. Don’t expect it to last a lifetime; that doesn’t happen at this price point.

High Neck Sweater

Uniqlo has some of the best basics that aren’t going to break the bank. Just take this sweater, for example. It’s comprised from a Merino wool that’s blended with acrylic to be comfortable, durable, and see less pilling.

Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater

Channel your inner tech guy with J.Crew’s soft, cashmere turtleneck that looks every bit the part. You’ll come back to this one time and time again—and the durable fabric will be there for you every single time.

Cashmere Turtleneck

Naadam makes some of the softest cashmere knits on the market (we endorsed the brand’s crewnecks already), so if you want to stay cozy but look cool, this is the style for you. With black loafers and a white sock, you’re all set.

Wool-Cotton Turtleneck Sweater

This classic turtleneck sweater from Ralph Lauren is made from a 55 percent wool and 45 percent cotton blend, so it’s warm but not too heavy. It’s a great mid-weight option for the fall or winter and layers well. It features a rib-knit neck, hem, and cuffs and comes in navy and cream.

Cableknit Turtleneck Sweater

This RRL cableknit turtleneck sweater is a nod to the original ones old-school mountaineers wore. With its classic fit and blend of wool, cotton, and linen, it’s actually got more outdoors-capability than you’d expect from a designer label. That makes it a versatile option for cold weather.

Made-in-Scotland Turtleneck Sweater

We love a good beefy sweater, and this one from J.Press is made from thick Scottish lambswool, which gives it that chunky vibe and soft feel.

Fair Isle Wool-Blend Turtleneck Sweater

You’ve seen a fair isle pattern many a time, but have you ever seen the Tommy Hilfiger flag logo mixed in with it? We think it makes for a pretty sick design. It’s more of a relaxed fit, so order true to size and expect it to be slightly oversized.

Furlong Roll Neck Sweater

This traditional fisherman knit turtleneck sweater made from 100 percent merino wool is definitely giving us cool sailor vibes. The merino wool walks the line between warm and breathable, soft and hard, stylish and functional. It’s a mid-weight sweater that’s surprisingly warm but also not too heavy.

Slub Cableknit Turtleneck

OK, so this one isn’t really a turtleneck; it’s more of a mock neck, but it still delivers on the elevated edge of a turtleneck sweater all while sporting a bold multi-colored heathered look. The wool blend and thick stitch make it great for cold weather, and with a classic cableknit stitch at the front and an Afghan stitch at the arms and back, it still gives a nod to the classic turtleneck sweater we know and love.

Men's Carefree Unshrinkable Turtleneck

This one isn’t a sweater but more of a mid-layer, and it’s a reliable one. Made from L.L. Bean’s popular soft cotton that doesn’t shrink, fade, or wrinkle, it’s a traditional shirt that goes great under a sweater and comes in six colorways. At $40, you might as well get one of each.

Men's Super-T Turtleneck

Again, this one isn’t a sweater, but it’s worth including. If you’re looking for a lighter, more breathable style, this is the one to get. It’s made from stretchy jersey knit fabric and comes in 11 colorways—there are also Regular, Tall, Big, and Big & Tall sizing options so you can find your perfect fit.

If you’re wondering what makes this one different from the other Lands’ End option, it’s made of less desirable cotton. The other option on this list is made of Supima cotton, which has a longer fiber and produces a softer fabric. This one retails for a few bucks cheaper, so treat it more like a beat-it-up baselayer.

Ribbed Turtleneck

In case you weren’t aware (or were duped by the name), Suitsupply has more than just suits. Case in point: this ribbed turtleneck. The wool and cashmere blend will keep you warm, while the medium weight won’t overpower you with heft.

Chunky Wool Turtleneck

MM6 Maison Margiela reimagined the classic turtleneck silhouette with a modern twist. Exposed seams and a logo path are subtle details that give this chunky sweater a new look.

Henry Turtleneck Cashmere Sweater

Not all turtlenecks are ribbed or smooth. Some are cable-knit, and Naked Cashmere is proving it in elegant fashion. This 100 percent cashmere turtleneck is just begging you to wear it fireside after a day of hitting the slopes.

Cashmere Turtleneck

Another cashmere style, this time from the folks at Todd Snyder. This piece is perfect for transitional weather. Throw a vest or blazer over it for the brisk fall temperatures ahead, and layer it under a parka come winter.

Cashmere Turtleneck

Vince designed a cashmere turtleneck that can just as easily be dressed up or down. The relaxed fit epitomizes sprezzatura, making you look effortlessly chic like like you didn’t try at all (even if you really did).

Wool and Cashmere Turtleneck

Parisian label Sandro’s turtleneck sweater comes in a range of neutral hues, great for pairing with just about anything. The long sleeves and loose fitting neckline give it a comfortable, cozy feel.

Grey Alpaca and Wool Blend Turtleneck Sweater

Thank you Moncler, for giving us a turtleneck sweater that will keep us warm, but not too warm in its alpalca, wool, and nylon frabrication. The slight contrast of the white trim on the neckline adds just the little bit of pop to the piece that we didn’t know we needed.
