These 17 Best Turtlenecks Make Layering A Breeze by Chelsea Frank and Megan McCarty
Now that we’re firmly planted in leaf-peeping, PSL-drinking, and decorative gourd season, it’s time to refresh your fall wardrobe with a must-have classic: a stylish turtleneck. Whether you opt for a tissue-thin fabric made for layering or a ribbed sweater-like shirt to cozy up in, you’ll still look effortlessly cool.
These days, turtlenecks can take on many roles, from a base layer to a curve-skimming bodysuit, all while keeping your neck warm. “Turtlenecks become a staple in your wardrobe if you know which ones work best for you,” says celebrity stylist and author Sakeya Donaldson. That’s why we’ve compiled a range of turtleneck options so you can find the right style for your body type, aesthetic, and personal preferences. We’ve got you covered for cooler temperatures.

Kule The Turtleneck
What we love: This soft-as-can-be turtleneck makes for a utilitarian seasonal transition piece.
What we don’t love: Some sizes in certain colorways are sold out.
“This thin, striped turtleneck feels more like a tee than a sweater, making it the perfect transitional piece from summer into fall,” says television stylist Dina Cerchione. Lightweight and made from super soft 100 percent cotton, it’s more than your average simple top. This design comes in various striped colorways, like cream and navy as well as navy and poppy (and so many more), in addition to solid gray and black. The relaxed neck gives you room to breathe while the striped pattern leans into an effortless French girl aesthetic. Here’s betting it would become an instant classic in your closet.
