Reader question:
You said you went through a lot of white turtlenecks before you found the right amount of scrunchiness. So, what kind of turtlenecks are they?
My response:
Nothing opens one up to ridicule (and more than partially justified) when making things explicit that perhaps are best left implicit! Having said that...
For wearing with thinner sweaters, like this Ralph Lauren Lambswool Cableknit crewneck in the picture above (where I can't afford the extra bulk, whether from the cut or the heftiness of the cotton), I use the LL Bean Pima Cotton Turtleneck.
For wearing with heavier sweaters, I buy the Lands' End Women's Regular Cotton Seamless Neck Turtleneck (Traditional Fit), and I like the ribbed cuffs (see picture below).
The body of my turtlenecks are always 100% cotton, although the Lands' End adds 6% spandex in the neck and cuff.

Love turtlenecks...so cozy and perfect for sailing this time of year!
Just the right "scrunch" looks chic
as you ward off the cold.

I believe I committed a faux paux
by using chic--my apologies.
I'll take chic any day!
I love your smile in the bottom picture.

And then you go on to be explicit! Very funny. Endearing.
I've tried that look with my polonecks and have to say I prefer the collar neatly folded.
...It suits you though :)
