This is my favorite turtleneck sweater and I wear it all the time, especially in winter. I think a simple, black, cashmere roll neck is the ideal frame for your favorite scarves. It gives endless possibilities and can be combined with basically any scarf. I especially like to combine it with a knitted scarf, for warm and cozy looks.

In the 20th century it was popularized by movie stars like Jane Mansfield, Audrey Hepburn and Gretta Garbo.
