Rave Review: “This is the world’s most PERFECT turtleneck. I have 12 and add to my collection every year. They are lightweight and so soft and non-binding. They are my “go to” for layering in winter or wear alone for a classic look with skirt or pants. The color choices are wonderful. These are by-far my favorite winter wardrobe item. I seriously can’t recommend highly enough. It needs 10 stars, especially for QUALITY. This will become your favorite wardrobe staple.”

Rave Review: “Perfect, classy, and timeless turtleneck! This is by far my favorite turtleneck ever. It’s the perfect length and it is really good quality. I love it so much that I want Splendid to make more color options because I want it in every color. This is a time capsule piece that I use every winter and I repurchase often! PS: I normally wear a small top in most brands, but had to size up to a large in this style. So order 1 to 2 sizes up from your normal size.”

The brown color is great and this fits perfectly with a pair of jeans for a look that can go from work to nighttime. Don’t hesitate to buy it—it’ll be your next favorite top, too!

Lookin’ for one that fits like a glove? I found her and she’s stylish (peep the slits in the cuffs), breathable, dries quick, and is buttery-soft.

Rave Review: “Love this turtleneck so much; it looks exceptionally flattering when paired with the Seamed Front Wide Leg Jean. The neckline isn’t tight, yet it isn’t droopy. The material holds its shape perfectly, even after multiple wears and washes. If you are in between sizes (as I can wear both small and medium, depending on the make and material), go with the medium in this top, especially if you are bustier. I’ll definitely be purchasing more colors!”

Oh hey, new go-to layer. This ruched turtleneck is adored for it’s subtle ruching, comfort, and perf fit.

Rave Review: “This top was something I did not know I needed. It is a great in-between staple which can be dressed up or down with the right accessories. I really enjoy the fitted (but not tight) top as most women’s tops seem to hang/fit more like men’s shirts do. Going to enjoy this top in any season!
