Product Insights
Contemporaine's Solid Turtleneck Tunic Sweater is a 79 CAD straight, long, unadorned ribbed-knit tunic in five colorways across all three size bands, all 15 pairings in stock at price parity with no upcharge, and a rating of 1 reviews; the knit is a smooth, silk-like 50% LENZING ECOVERO viscose that drapes in a fluid line with no wool prickle, comes from FSC/PEFC forests with EU Ecolabel and molecular traceability, and is produced with at least 50% lower CO2 and water use than generic viscose, though that credential covers only the viscose half and is a sourcing upgrade, not a durability one. The ribbed collar and cuffs grip the neck and wrists by knit contraction rather than sewn-in elastic, long side vents free the hem to swing over leggings instead of bunching, and the unembellished column layers flat under a coat as a multi-season staple, but the absence of elastane defines the tradeoff: the smooth body relaxes at the neckline, elbows and seat rather than snapping back, bagging shows once permanent elongation passes about 3%, pilling surfaces first at the ribbed turtleneck and cuffs, the side-slit edge is the most stressed point and first construction point to show wear, and the viscose rib knit shrinks about 12% lengthwise when wet against about 8% for lyocell, so care requires hand wash cold and lay flat to dry because wet viscose weakens and can lengthen permanently; buy the size that fits now. Deep colorways Black, Chocolate and Eggplant can crock onto pale trousers and bags and transfer dye onto pale layers, while Off White and Oxford do not, and the listing opens on Black in XS-SMALL.
Verified claims
- Stretch mechanism
- The stretch comes from the ribbed knit construction, not elastane; the viscose fiber adds only 2-3%
- Elastic recovery
- The knit relaxes at the neckline, elbows and seat rather than snapping back like elastane
- Side vents
- Long side vents free the hem to swing over leggings instead of bunching.
- Durability
- Side slits are the tunic's most stressed point, so their edge finish matters most.
- Pilling
- Pilling surfaces first at the ribbed turtleneck and cuffs, ahead of the smooth body.
- Bagging
- Bagging shows first at the elbows once permanent elongation passes about 3%.
- Shrinkage
- Viscose rib knits shrink about 12% lengthwise when wet, against about 8% for lyocell.
- Color transfer
- Dark colorways can crock onto pale trousers and bags; Off White and Oxford do not.
- Vent wear
- The side-slit edge is the tunic's first construction point to show wear.
- Eco credentials
- 50% LENZING ECOVERO viscose from FSC/PEFC forests, EU Ecolabel, with molecular traceability.
- Environmental impact
- The LENZING ECOVERO viscose component is produced with at least 50% lower CO2 and water use than generic viscose.
- Eco claim scope
- The credential covers only the 50% viscose half and is a sourcing upgrade, not a durability one.
- Design philosophy
- Contemporaine designs as an edit of trends, with pieces intended to last beyond a season; this tunic is made in Canada.
- Handfeel
- Smooth, silk-like ECOVERO viscose knit that drapes in a fluid line with no wool prickle
- Fit
- Cut with a loose A-line tunic body that falls to mid-thigh, with long side vents for ease of movement.
- Care
- Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry — wet viscose weakens and can lengthen permanently.
- Ribbed knit performance
- Ribbed collar and cuffs grip the neck and wrists by knit contraction rather than sewn-in elastic.
- Shape retention
- No elastane — the knit relaxes over wear, so buy the size that fits now.
- Colorfastness
- Deep colorways like Black, Chocolate and Eggplant can transfer dye onto pale layers.
- Default colorway
- The listing opens on Black in XS-SMALL, one of the three transfer-prone shades
- Design approach
- No print, hardware or embellishment: an unadorned knit positioned as a multi-season staple.
- Styling
- A plain, print-free tunic tagged cozy and sophisticated, in a casual classic style for fall and winter, that layers flat under a coat in five colorways.
- Knit stretch
- Ribbed collar and cuffs grip through knit structure; the viscose body relaxes at stress points.
- Body relaxation
- The ribbed turtleneck and cuffs spring back, but the smooth body relaxes at the elbows and hips with wear.
- Variant coverage
- Five colorways, each cut in all three size bands — all 15 pairings in stock.
- Price parity
- Priced the same $79 CAD in every color and size — no upcharge.
- Sizing
- Pick the size that fits now — the viscose knit relaxes rather than springing back.
- Sustainability certifications
- The LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose in this sweater is made from FSC- or PEFC-certified/controlled wood and holds the EU Ecolabel (license no. AT/016/001).

| Solid Turtleneck Tunic Sweater: Choose this if you want a soft, stretch knit tunic sweater in a relaxed A-line silhouette with a tall ribbed fold-over turtleneck, ribbed sleeves and cuffs, and side vents with a longer back hem for extra coverage over the hips. It is made of 50% LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose, 28% polyester and 22% nylon, and comes in three sizes (XS-SMALL, MED-LARGE, XL-XXL) across five colors. The knit has a matte, fine-gauge finish rather than a loose weave, so skip it if you prefer an open knit look.[1,2,3,4] | Mock Neck Solid Tunic Sweater: Choose this if you want a long, loose tunic in a soft, ultra-comfortable stretch knit with a short mock neck, ribbed cuffs and hem, side vents, and a high-low hem that falls to the upper thigh in front and lower in back. It is made of 80 percent reprocessed viscose and 20 percent nylon, offered in sizes X-Small through X-Large across Black, Grey, Chocolate/Espresso, and Burnt/Brick Orange. Note that the softness and comfort are the retailer's own description rather than reported customer experiences, and the solid, fine-gauge knit has no patterning or surface ornamentation.[5,6,7,8] | Buttoned-Sleeve Turtleneck Sweater: Choose this if you want a slim, fitted turtleneck in a soft, lightweight fine-gauge knit for layering under blazers or wearing with jeans, with discreet gold-toned buttons at the ribbed cuffs adding a polished touch and a broad color range for building outfits. Reviewers say the knit resists pilling and holds its shape after many washes, adding warmth without overheating. Note that the body-hugging cut may disappoint if you want an oversized silhouette, and while most find it true to size, some find the neck too constricting or the fit too snug—sizing up helps if you're between sizes.[9,10,11] |
