How to shop for a quality turtleneck sweater

Its winter and that means a cold wind is in the air, the holidays are here, days are shorter, nights are longer, and turtlenecks for women are everywhere!  While it’s true you can find these sweater types everywhere from small to big box retail stores.  However; you should be cautious in spending too much for a low grade turtleneck.  This guide will help give you some tips on what to look for when shopping for women’s turtlenecks.

A turtleneck knit sweater comes in a wide variety of fabrics and styles.  First off we’ll examine the king of all sweaters, the cashmere turtleneck!  First off it’s a good rule of thumb to know that cheap turtlenecks aren’t good and good turtlenecks aren’t cheap.  This doesn’t mean you have to spend hundreds or thousands on a good quality turtleneck. 

There are a couple of things you should do when shopping for a cashmere turtleneck.  First, check the label to see how many plies it is made out of.  2 ply is good, 3 and 4 are best.  A one ply sweater will pill and fuzz and fall apart over time and it may only last you one season.  You want to make sure you’re buying quality.  Next, do the hand test.  Put your hand under the sweater and if you can see it then put it back.

A cable knit turtleneck sweater such as the one by Autumn Cashmere at Fashiondoxy.com will have a mixed knit weave and open side vents.  Make sure you inspect the knit for any flaws.  Remember, it only takes one snowflake to start an avalanche and you don’t want that in a sweater.

Next, inspect the care of the sweater and make sure you follow the instructions when you get it home.  Clothing almost never comes with a warranty so if you buy a poor quality sweater that falls apart on you after one season you’ll have wasted your money.  You can rest assured Fashiondoxy.com sells nothing but the highest quality in cashmere turtleneck sweaters.
