17 Lightweight Turtlenecks Perfect for Layering
A lightweight turtleneck is a bona fide wardrobe essential that’s well worth the investment. With endless outfit possibilities, a turtleneck will elevate your look for three out of the four seasons. We’re also firm believers that the perfect turtleneck is the solution anytime layering is in question. Try wearing one under a silky tank or slip dress for transitional spring days, or pair it with a chunky cardigan during crisp fall weather. Turtlenecks can even provide added warmth on those subzero winter nights. That said, we’ve rounded up some of the best options to layer up in. Keep scrolling to shop our personal favorites.
