A turtleneck is a wardrobe staple that can be worn in so many different ways: It can be layered with pieces like blazers and cardigans, or simply worn alone as a stylish top. Best of all, the best cotton turtlenecks are easy to wear year-round because they are breathable, soft, and simply feel good against your skin. They even come in sleeveless and short-sleeved options (and I've included one of each on this list). Just make sure that you don’t accidentally shrink them in the dryer , which is a common problem with, really, any style of cotton clothing.
If you do a search for cotton turtlenecks on Amazon, you’ll quickly realize that there is a vast number of different options that pop up — many that look very similar. But don’t worry; I scoured the site to find the best cotton turtlenecks available, backed by some seriously stellar star-ratings from reviewers.
This list features a range of sleeve lengths, fits, colors, sizes, and prices so you can find the one (or many) that best match your personal style . And if you’re not into the full turtleneck look, you’ll even find a mock-neck pick, which still covers some of your neck, but is not quite as high as a traditional turtleneck.
1 The Best Overall Turtleneck This long-sleeved turtleneck from HieasyFit makes the perfect addition to your wardrobe. Made of 95% cotton and 5% spandex for a touch of stretch, it comes in a range of solid colors (from basic black to an electric yellow), all of which will look amazing alone or layered with other pieces. Some reviewers say it runs a bit small, so considering going a size up. The sizing doesn't seem to bother Amazon reviewers, though; they clearly love this top, giving it a 4.5-star rating after more than 300 reviews.
What Amazon reviewers are saying: “A super staple piece. Looked and fit as expected! Soft and sturdy and cozy. This product arrived as advertised and doesn’t feel cheap. Great for fall & winter layering.”
Available sizes: Small to XX-large
2 The Best Mock-Neck Option If you’d prefer a turtleneck that doesn't go all the way to your chin, then you’ve got to give this mock turtleneck option from Lands’ End a shot. Made of 100% cotton, this long-sleeved top has a cozy, relaxed fit, and it hits in a great spot — right at mid-hip. This top comes in a dozen solid color options and boasts a 4.6-star rating on Amazon. Plus, the size range is wide.
What Amazon reviewers are saying: “I'm very impressed with this item. It's comfortable and attractive. I was also very pleased that the fabric is not flimsy or see through but, just the right weight without being thick or heavy. I wear a size 18 and this item fits perfectly at a 2x.”
Available sizes: X-small to XXX-large
3 The Best Sleeveless Turtleneck This sleeveless turtleneck from Urru is the ultimate layering piece. Wear it with a blazer, cardigan, or jacket and you don't have to worry about the sleeves bunching up or feeling uncomfortable. Or, wear it alone as a chic top. This slim-fit top is made with a blend of cotton and spandex, so it’s super comfy and also a tad stretchy. Choose from a range of colors, including a fun leopard design.

4 The Best Ribbed Turtleneck This turtleneck from PRETTODAY is ribbed, slightly cropped, and has a small ruffle detail around the neck and wrists to add a touch of interest while remaining a versatile staple.

However, it's recommended that you hand-wash this and lay it flat to dry.
