We are deep in the season of layering, and nothing deftly straddles the line of trendy and cozy like the oversized turtleneck. It's a timeless winter staple that's practical enough to keep you toasty without looking dowdy.

The classic turtleneck is a flattering style that you can wear on the regular, and the extra coverage is sure to keep you warm while looking polished. Many of Amazon's best-selling sweaters are turtlenecks, and we've found the top options under $45 that you'll want to sport until spring arrives.
