ribbed turtleneck for women

Common materials for women's ribbed turtlenecks include cotton, modal, spandex (or elastane), viscose, nylon, polyester and recycled polyester. Many pieces use blends that combine two or more of these fibers.

You’ll find traditional turtlenecks and mock turtlenecks, plus other ribbed-knit necklines in the same category such as scoop necks and V-necks.

Most ribbed turtlenecks are long-sleeve. Overall lengths vary by style and brand, ranging from at-waist to below-waist or below-hip.

Stretch and elasticity typically come from spandex (or elastane) content and from the ribbed knit construction itself. Several product descriptions also call the fabric soft and stretchy with good elastic performance.

Most turtleneck-style options are pullovers, while the ribbed-knit category also includes button-front cardigans with full-length button plackets.
