I have three of these. They are soft, cozy, not tight at the neck, very lightweight. (I don't think it's really quite sheer, despite the name.) The fabric is cotton and bamboo, yet it feels almost like there's some cashmere. Here's a picture of it on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tissue-weight-turtlenecks#post-2404925 Fri, 30 Jan 2026 00:53:19 +0000 rebekahphoto 2404925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second (or third?) the lands end turtlenecks. their supima cotton is my fav, might be a bit thicker that you are looking for, but I layer over them easily.

Embarrassed to say I find the basics at TJ Maxx. I know. I pick up a couple every season and they range from French Connection (not tissue but again, frigid) to CK, MK, and weird off brands that tend to be the best! Mostly black and grey. Perfect base layers, agreed, and so effective at showcasing my necklaces and scarves. I have a couple roll collar in beautiful soft knits in regular rotation that I don’t layer over too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tissue-weight-turtlenecks#post-2404835 Thu, 29 Jan 2026 08:02:52 +0000 The Cat 2404835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LJP, re your question:<br /> Turtlenecks (and scarves) can actually HIDE wrinkles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tissue-weight-turtlenecks#post-2404833 Thu, 29 Jan 2026 06:46:19 +0000 Star (Lise) 2404833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't offer any brands as mine are locally made but just chiming in to say I wear a tissue -weight cotton turtleneck everyday under my knits in winter to add some warmth and prevent itchies, and the actual knits do not have to be laundered as often because now they are only a top layer. First it is difficult to dry knits in winter and they last longer, less pilling and stretching out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tissue-weight-turtlenecks#post-2404820 Thu, 29 Jan 2026 02:24:08 +0000 Carla 2404820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bet this weather is resulting in a mini shopping frenzy for folks who don’t normally experience these kinds of temperatures! &nbsp;</p> <p>I love a turtleneck, and find them flattering. &nbsp;Heck! &nbsp;I even wear them in summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tissue-weight-turtlenecks#post-2404805 Thu, 29 Jan 2026 00:05:40 +0000 Jaime 2404805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so funny! I recently wrote of another thread about how I have fallen in love with my tissue weight J Crew turtleneck (thrifted two new condition black ones recently) for precisely the same reason. My skin, almost 10 years post menopause, has decided to become super sensitive and prone to eczema. A thin soft cotton layer is exactly what I crave all the time. Will be following for suggestions and solutions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tissue-weight-turtlenecks#post-2404798 Wed, 28 Jan 2026 23:47:36 +0000 LJP 2404798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I have never owned one of these, and feel like I must be missing out on something. They pop up on seemingly every fashion related feed I see. &nbsp;Don't turtlenecks emphasize loose neck skin and cause the skin to look wrinkly when you wear them? Or am I projecting my greatest fears ....</p> <p>I don't think I've owned nor worn a turtleneck in at least 20 years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tissue-weight-turtlenecks#post-2404797 Wed, 28 Jan 2026 23:47:22 +0000 Kate 2404797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As Leslie notes, they are 100% merino wool, and cosily warm. </p> <p>I often wear mine as a solo layer, except in really frigid weather like we are having now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tissue-weight-turtlenecks#post-2404796 Wed, 28 Jan 2026 23:44:24 +0000 Kate 2404796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>COS has some excellent ones. I bought two this year, and have 3 or 4 from years past. </p> <p>It’s a slim fit turtleneck, but not tight. It has a lot of ease to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tissue-weight-turtlenecks#post-2404794 Wed, 28 Jan 2026 23:33:45 +0000 Leslie 2404794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try Cos, Janet. I follow a blogger (asmallwardrobe) who loves their tissue turtlenecks in merino wool, if you can tolerate that near your skin. They run a bit sheer, so they are best for layering.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tissue-weight-turtlenecks#post-2404793 Wed, 28 Jan 2026 23:20:00 +0000 DonnaF 2404793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought the Lands End turtlenecks below via Nordstrom when they were marked down and am wearing the plaid one right now as I type. They are lighter weight and less boxy than the ones I bought decades below. I wouldn't say they are fitted, however. They come in Petite sizes which is a big selling point for me. Lands End charges for returns which is a big reason why I ordered through Nordstrom </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tissue-weight-turtlenecks#post-2404789 Wed, 28 Jan 2026 23:01:33 +0000 Janet 2404789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, Uniqlo’s are “extra warm” and cashmere so not quite what I want. </p> <p>JAileen, I had seen Lands End when I did a search so I may try that, thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tissue-weight-turtlenecks#post-2404786 Wed, 28 Jan 2026 22:54:16 +0000 Angie 2404786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried Uniqlo?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tissue-weight-turtlenecks#post-2404776 Wed, 28 Jan 2026 21:16:16 +0000 JAileen 2404776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is funny - I broke my no buy January with these lightweight turtlenecks from Lands End. &nbsp;They’re available from Macy’s too. &nbsp;I was looking for heather grey and these were it. &nbsp;They are lightweight and the neck was tall enough, even folded over. &nbsp;I sized up so it wouldn’t be clingy around my middle. &nbsp;They are a blend of 56% cotton, 38% rayon, 6% spandex. &nbsp;I haven’t had them long enough to know how durable they are.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.landsend.com/products/lightweight-jersey-long-sleeve-turtleneck/id_302529?attributes=44967,8063">https://www.landsend.com/produ.....ibutes=449</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tissue-weight-turtlenecks#post-2404775 Wed, 28 Jan 2026 21:00:50 +0000 Janet 2404775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With our recent spate of very cold weather, I find myself reaching for my tissue-weight turtleneck shirts to layer under my sweaters. Besides a little extra warmth, they’re also good for a soft layer on my neck, which seems to be rash-prone in the dry cold air these days (eczema? I’m not sure but need to visit my dermatologist to get some answers). </p> <p>I have burgundy and olive ones from J Crew factory store a year or so ago, and a black one that Ive had for long enough that the tag is gone. I’d like another one in charcoal or grey. Apparently the J Crew one is popular because it seems to be sold out online.</p> <p>Has anyone run across a good one? I want *lightweight* and not tight, and a neck that is neither tight nor floppy. No mock turtlenecks for me. High cotton content is good, modal is ok too. A little stretch if it helps with shape retention. </p> <p>Any suggestions? </p>
