The Best Layering Turtlenecks

Over 25,000 Amazon shoppers have awarded this turtleneck bodysuit a five-star rating, launching it to best-seller status on the site. Featuring a tanga bottom for a seamless appearance (with a handy snap closure), it’s made with a good amount of stretch to ensure the perfect bodycon fit, making this an excellent option for layering underneath more fitted tops. Just because this will layer seamlessly doesn’t mean you can’t wear it solo, as well; how chic would it be with some silk trousers and heels?

This cotton turtleneck has all the makings of a wardrobe essential. Made of 100% Supima cotton — which is famously soft, lightweight, and durable — this turtleneck features a classic slim fit and a hip length, long enough to tuck easily into bottoms and sleek enough to lay smoothly underneath button-down shirts and chunkier sweaters. At this price, you’ll want to buy it in multiples.

The name says it all: This turtleneck made of the softest, lightweight modal-spandex blend that’s designed specifically to fit and feel like a second skin, making it ideal for layering. (It also runs small, according to the brand, to further encourage that seamless fit.) It comes in eight curated colors — including a handful of sophisticated neutrals (like ‘Porpoise,’ the soft gray pictured above), as well as mint green and leopard print for a surprising pop.

Turtlenecks can absolutely be evening-appropriate. Case in point: This layering turtleneck, made of sheer black mesh with the slightest hint of shimmer. Layer this underneath a slip dress and knee-high boots for date night; for daytime, pair it with a classic white T-shirt, jeans, and lug-sole boots. It’ll turn any outfit into a statement.

The ribbed knit of this cotton-blend turtleneck bodysuit lends it the more substantial appearance of a sweater, but the thin, body-hugging silhouette makes layering a breeze. Whether you layer this underneath dresses or wear it with pants, the snap closure ensures it will lay smoothly and stay in place without any uncomfortable ride-up. It’s bound to become one of your wardrobe essentials.

This turtleneck top features a longer length that hits around the top of the thigh, so you’ll feel secure if you’re tucking it into your bottoms. Made of a soft jersey material, this piece has a slim fit that will layer seamlessly beneath shirts and sweaters. Or, take advantage of the slightly dressier feel of the rayon fabric and layer this over a luxe blazer or under a silk button-down blouse in the same color family for subtle sophistication.

Sizes: 16 Plus — 24 Plus | Colors: 12 | Material: 100% Rayon

Bright bubblegum pink is having a major fashion moment, and the effervescent fuchsia shade of this turtleneck sweater is the epitome of Barbiecore. Made of a cotton blend, it’s fitted enough to seamlessly layer underneath sweaters and dresses, while the wide ribbing of this turtleneck qualifies it equally as a sweater, rendering it even more versatile. If you prefer a more muted palette, opt instead for any of the four neutral shades on offer: black, white, camel, or rust brown.

With its slightly cropped fit, this layering turtleneck works so well with other cropped sweaters and high-waisted bottoms. Made of cotton blended with spandex for stretch, the cropped length also avoids bulk (and you can wear this as a standalone crop top, too). Plus, it comes in well over 50 colors and prints, so you have plenty of options. The black and white stripes pictured above feels very French New Wave; try pairing it with a white lug-sole boot for a Bardot-mod pop.

Sizes: Small — 3X | Colors: 56 | Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex

This cropped turtleneck features the cutest lettuce trim at the cuffs, hem, and neck that’ll peek out if you’re layering, though it can hold its own as a standalone top, too. Made of rayon blended with spandex for plenty of stretch, it would look adorable layered underneath a velvet slip dress for a nod to the ‘90s.

Sizes: X-Small — X-Large | Colors: 8 | Material: 95% Rayon, 5% Spandex

Adding visual interest to your ‘fit is a snap with this layering turtleneck; it features the coolest patterned mesh fabric guaranteed to effortlessly zhush up any pants or dresses you pair it with.

You’ll find a few more designs in this listing, too, including black lace and black floral.

Sizes: Large Plus — 5X-Large Plus | Colors: 12 | Material: 100% Polyester

If you love the look of a layered turtleneck but worry about overheating, try out this sleeveless turtleneck, made of a smooth, lightweight rayon and spandex blend that won’t add bulk beneath sweaters and tops.
