Amazon Essentials Women’s Fisherman Cable Turtleneck Sweater

While women’s turtleneck sweaters were all the rage in the 1980s and 1990s, they are still a staple in many closets today. A turtleneck is a versatile piece that can be worn casually for running errands or can create a high-fashion look when worn under a dress or paired with high-wasted pants.

Many people think of turtlenecks as warm and cozy sweaters worn just in the winter months. While they certainly help to create a snug feel, turtlenecks are also great seasonal transitional wear that you can break out in the fall and spring months. Consider wearing a light women’s turtleneck under a sleeveless dress on a cool spring day or pair a turtleneck with a light jacket for dreary fall weather.

One of the most important elements to consider when buying a women’s turtleneck sweater is looking at the fit. A loose-fitting turtleneck creates a boxy silhouette, while a form-fitted turtleneck looks sleek and classic. Both aesthetics work well in modern fashion if you pair them with the right pieces and accessories.

• Take a look at the material the women’s turtleneck sweater is made out of to ensure it is comfortable and durable. You don’t want to get anything that will be itchy or that will start pilling. Nylon, acrylic, cotton and polyester are good options. These will not make you too warm or uncomfortable, and will last through years of daily wear.
• Consider whether you want a casual, flowy women’s turtleneck sweater or one that hugs your curves. If you’re looking to layer pieces over the sweater, then you’ll want to go with a tighter fit. A flowy turtleneck is best worn on its own with form-fitting pants, jeans or leggings.
• Women’s turtleneck sweaters are available in dozens of colors. Having neutrals like black, brown, navy blue and beige make it easy to pair the turtleneck with many other outfits. However, if you want your turtleneck sweater to be the focal point of your outfit, opt for a bold color like red, pink, yellow, orange, or purple.
• If you prefer clothes that are easy to take care of, go with a women’s turtleneck sweater that can be machine washed and tumble dried. Keep in mind that some turtlenecks will need to be hand-washed, hung to dry, ironed or steamed.
