A turtleneck in a fine, soft knit that sits close to the body without clinging to it. The collar is knitted in a deep rib and folds back over itself, so it stands up around the neck instead of collapsing flat halfway through the day. Raglan sleeves run in a clean diagonal from the collar to the underarm, leaving the shoulder unbroken and giving the arm room to move.

The gauge is fine enough to go under a coat or a blazer without adding bulk at the shoulder, and dense enough to wear on its own on a cold morning. Ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem hold the shape at the wrist and the waist, so the sweater keeps its line rather than stretching out of it. It finishes at the hip, which works tucked into trousers and works just as well left out over denim, which is most of what you want from a knit you will reach for twice a week.
