JANET | High neck that is not a turtleneck

I have got to the age where I would rather cover the neck than not. This does it without feeling like a turtleneck.

There is a point at which the neck becomes the thing you think about when getting dressed. Scarves are one answer and they slide, bunch and get left in restaurants. Turtlenecks are the other, and plenty of women find them tight and warm in a way they cannot stand. Janet sits between the two, with a neckline that comes up without closing in.

The neck is high but not folded over, so it covers without pressing against the throat and without doubling the fabric where it is warmest. The silhouette is fitted rather than loose, which is what gives it a clean line under a blazer instead of bunching at the waist. The fabric is soft and breathable, so a high neck does not become uncomfortable indoors. It runs from M to 3XL.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• Coverage at the neck without the pressure. High enough to cover, not folded over, so it does not squeeze or double up the way a turtleneck does.
• Fitted, so it works under a jacket. A close silhouette means no extra fabric bunching at the waist when you put a blazer over it.
• Breathable at the neck. The fabric lets heat out, which is the difference between wearing a high neck all day and taking it off at lunch.
• It replaces the scarf. Nothing to arrange, nothing to lose on the back of a chair.

How it fits

True to size, in M through 3XL. Note that this one starts at M rather than S. The silhouette is fitted, so if you are between two sizes take the larger one, and take the larger one as well if you prefer a little room through the middle, since a fitted knit shows what is under it. Returns are covered below.

30 days to change your mind

Wear it indoors for an afternoon and see how the neck feels by the end of it. If it is not right, send it back within 30 days for a full refund. No restocking fee and no conditions attached.

A few recent reviews

I cannot wear turtlenecks, they make me feel closed in. This is high enough and still fine. Ione W., Henderson

Goes under my work blazer with nothing bunching at the back. That is the whole reason I bought a second. Arvilla H., Tempe

Sized up to the XL because it is fitted and I am glad I did. Bernadine G., Savannah
