After living in Chicago for four years, a city that’s notorious for its unforgiving winter, I learned a few things about dressing for the cold. One, you put on fleece-lined tights and then pants. Two, always wear waterproof shoes to leave the house and keep work shoes in your bag. Last, and perhaps most importantly, fitted turtlenecks are the key to keeping warm and looking polished. 

The chic style Katie Holmes has rocked and Kate Middleton repeat-wears is a winter essential, perfect for wearing alone or under your favorite cozy winter sweaters, blazers, and even knit dresses. Not to be dramatic, but the way you reach for a tank top every day of summer is that way I reach for a turtleneck when temperatures drop below 30 degrees. And right now, one that shoppers call “flattering yet comfortable” is on sale starting at just $15 at Amazon.

Vobcty’s long-sleeve turtleneck is the goes-with-anything basic your wardrobe needs this season. The fitted style is available in 19 colors, including classics, neutrals, and more wintery hues, including a fir green and mulled-wine red, and boasts more than 4,400 five-star ratings. According to the brand, the neck is a little loose, giving you room to comfortably scrunch or roll, with one shopper agreeing, writing that the neck is “comfortable and not tight.” “Honestly when buying a turtleneck I worry about the tightness on my neck. This is perfect,” said another customer, describing the fit as “not too tight and not too loose.”

But that sentiment doesn’t just apply to the neck. Fans love how the entire piece gives them “room to breathe” while still being tight enough to be the “perfect” layering piece. “[It] fits perfectly for a base layer,” said one person who added that it “has nice stretch and a good feel to it.” And according to another shopper who deemed this a “closet staple,” this turtleneck is perfectly balanced. “It’s thin but not sheer, it’s soft and comfortable without losing form,” they said, adding that they’ve “pretty much worn it non-stop since [they] got it.” And per one other shopper, the top is “soft, very comfy,” stretchy enough to “support your everyday movements,” and “really…warm” despite being thin.
