A fitted turtleneck in 95% polyester and 5% spandex, cut slim and meant to sit under a sweater or on its own. The collar has no fold, so the neck is covered without a bulky roll of fabric at the throat. It comes in nine colors.

The fabric is 95% polyester and 5% spandex. The listing calls it lightweight, breathable and warm, and describes it as soft with high elasticity, so it stretches to follow different body shapes. It does not give a fabric weight in grams, so how thick it feels is something the specification cannot tell you.

The collar is the main design point. It is described as a seamless high collar with an inward turned finish and no fold, meant to sit close without feeling tight and without hanging loose. The listing says it drapes naturally and adds warmth at the neck. Whether that suits you is partly a matter of taste, since some people like a snug neck and some do not.

As for styling, the listing suggests wearing it under sweaters, cardigans, trench coats and jackets, or with jeans, joggers, skinny pants, trousers and skirts. The cut is slim fitting, and the listing says to size up for a looser fit and to check the size chart first. Colors are black, white, blue, wine red, khaki, green, navy blue, hot pink and beige. Care is machine wash, and it is imported. No water temperature or drying advice is given.
