A soft merino wool turtleneck for everyday wear
Made of 100% responsible merino wool, this loose-fitting turtleneck suits shoppers looking for a natural-fibre sweater to wear as an everyday layer. The knit is a soft, medium-gauge stockinette with a slightly brushed, fuzzy surface visible on the back panel.[1,2]
A relaxed turtleneck for cold-weather days
This loose, boxy merino wool turtleneck works as an easy pull-on layer when you want extra coverage at the neck. The thick, folded ribbed collar sits with a soft, slightly slouched fold at the back of the neck, while relaxed drop-shoulder sleeves and raglan-style seams keep the fit easy through the shoulders.[2]
A relaxed-fit turtleneck for an easy, unstructured look
A merino wool turtleneck suited to outfits where you want a relaxed, unstructured shape rather than a fitted look. The back is loose and boxy with long, full sleeves that appear slightly voluminous before ending in wide ribbed cuffs at the wrist. The straight hem sits below the waist on the model shown, giving an easy silhouette to pair with fitted bottoms or tucked-in styles.[1,2]
Ribbed trims that tie the look together
This turtleneck's wide ribbed cuffs narrow at the wrist, and its wide ribbed hem band creates a defined lower edge. The hem's vertical ribs approximately match the collar and cuffs, so the trims read as a coordinated finishing detail. Shoppers who care about how these details complete an outfit may appreciate the matching ribbing.[2]
Styling a merino wool turtleneck with jeans
The product images show the sweater styled with dark blue jeans on a model, so you can see how the loose fit looks as a complete outfit.[3]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Loose-Fitting Merino Wool Turtleneck Sweater: Choose this if you want a relaxed, boxy turtleneck knit in 100% merino wool, which the merchant characterizes as responsibly sourced. It features a folded ribbed collar that sits loosely at the neck, dropped shoulders with wide sleeves, and wide ribbed cuffs and hem with small side slits. It comes in Light Grey and Off White across three size ranges (XS-SMALL, MED-LARGE, and XL-XXL).[1,2,3] | Solid Turtleneck Tunic Sweater: Choose this if you want a relaxed, oversized tunic silhouette with extra length over the hips, a long back hem, and side vents for easy movement. It suits wearers who like a tall, fold-over ribbed turtleneck that sits closely at the neck, long sleeves with ribbed cuffs, and a soft stretch knit made in a blend of forest-conscious LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose, polyester, and nylon. It comes in Black, Oxford, Off White, Chocolate/Espresso, and Eggplant/Plum, with the Black colorway offered across size groupings XS-SMALL, MED-LARGE, and XL-XXL.[4,5,6,7] | Loose Mock-Neck Sweater: Choose this if you want a soft, loose-fitting mock-neck sweater for lightweight warmth under a vest or jacket on chilly days, or a cozy, unrestrictive layer for relaxed everyday wear. Reviewers describe the brushed knit as incredibly soft and note the relaxed fit works well for layering, though it runs decidedly oversized—most suggest sizing down to avoid a shapeless look, and taller or long-torso wearers report the cropped body can expose the midriff when reaching. Note that some reviewers find the textured knit scratchy around the neck, and the sweater is reported to pill within the first few wears, especially under coat friction, so gentle care is advised.[8] |

Coucouning et élégant
Il est parfait. Très belle qualité, belle tenue, très doux. Le col se tient bien et il n'est pas trop près du cou. J'ai aussi le gris. Deux belles couleurs de base pour ma garde-robe. Un tout allé. Je l'adore!!!
Vraiment bien

Merino loose fitting turtle neck
I love this sweater and, as it’s merino, I’ve had no allergic reaction to the wool. Yay! And such a pretty, soft grey! Thank you, Simons.
