Another season, another winning Rag & Bone sweater at ELLE.com. Last spring, we were all about the preppy-cool, deep v-neck "Talia" sweater that promptly went viral among the fashion set. But now that the temperatures are dropping, we'd like our neckline to do exactly the opposite—which is why the brand's soft, chunky turtleneck is everything we're wanting this fall.
"I have a sweater problem," admits Leah Chernikoff. "I wish it were fall and winter all the time so I could wear only sweaters. So even though it's not quite cold enough for them, I'm already craving new ones. This one checks all the 'awesome sweater' boxes: Cozy? Check. Bulky but not too bulky? Check. Funnel turtleneck you can hide behind? CHECK."

And while Leah may have been the first among us to take the plunge, in true ELLE.com fashion, it's already clear she won't be the last. "When she walked into the office wearing this guy, I knew I wanted it for myself," says senior news editor Sally Holmes. "The funnel neck is so cozy and comfy looking, without being sloppy."
"I tried it on a few weeks ago and fell in love with its cozy cut and so soft material, but ultimately decided to use the rest of my fall shopping budget on a fancy pair of boots," says editorial assistant Victoria Hoff. "But when I saw Leah actually wearing it, I realized just how badly I wanted it. Call it non-buyer's remorse. I guess I'll be dipping into my winter budget now..."
But when it's the sweater, isn't that money well spent? Beauty editor Megan Cahn considers it a worthy investment. "The first clothing item I ever splurged on was a cashmere chunky knit turtleneck," she recalls. "I loved it, but it somehow disappeared over the years, and now I have finally found a worthy replacement. The open knit details make it stand out in the sea of sweaters on the market for fall." As does the fit: "I've shied away from the oversized sweater trend, mainly because what's cute and chunky on some people can end up looking and feeling far too bulky on me," admits social media editor Kate Winick. "But when I saw this on Leah, I was sold because of the length—there's no chance of getting lost in it when it's cute and cropped like this one."
