Premium Fabric Construction & Feel
We selected a superior cotton-blend knit for the Truth by Republic Turtleneck because it delivers the perfect balance of softness, breathability, and recovery. The fabric composition includes 95% combed cotton and 5% spandex, creating a structure that resists pilling while maintaining its shape wash after wash.
The knit weight strikes an ideal middle ground — substantial enough to provide coverage and warmth without adding bulk under jackets or cardigans. You’ll notice the fabric has a subtle texture that elevates it beyond basic layering pieces, with a matte finish that photographs beautifully and pairs effortlessly with everything in your closet.
Sizing Guide & Fit Details
The Truth by Republic Turtleneck runs true to size with a slightly relaxed fit designed to flatter without clinging. We recommend ordering your usual size for the intended fit — the garment sits comfortably at the natural waistline with enough room through the shoulders and bust for easy movement.
Our size range spans XS through XXL, with each size graded to maintain proportional sleeve length and body width. The ribbed collar measures approximately 6 inches tall when worn naturally folded, though you can adjust the fold for your preferred coverage. Sleeve length is designed to hit at the wrist bone when arms are relaxed at your sides.
Care Instructions & Longevity
We designed the truth by republic turtleneck for real life, which means easy care that fits into your routine. Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle, using mild detergent without bleach or harsh additives. The cotton-spandex blend maintains its integrity through repeated washing when you follow these simple guidelines.
Tumble dry on low heat or lay flat to dry — both methods preserve the fabric’s stretch and prevent shrinkage. We recommend removing the turtleneck promptly from the dryer to minimize wrinkles, though the knit construction naturally resists creasing. If needed, steam or iron on a low setting on the reverse side of the fabric.

Your Questions About the Truth by Republic Turtleneck
When you follow our care instructions — machine wash cold and tumble dry low or lay flat — the turtleneck maintains its original size and shape. The spandex content in our cotton blend is specifically engineered to resist shrinkage.
We pre-shrink the fabric during manufacturing to minimize any potential size change. If you’re between sizes or prefer a looser fit, you can safely order your usual size with confidence that it won’t become too small after the first wash.
We currently offer the turtleneck in six carefully curated colors: Classic Black, Ivory, Charcoal Gray, Navy, Olive, and Camel. These neutral shades were selected to coordinate seamlessly with existing wardrobes while providing options for both warm and cool undertones.
We rotate seasonal colors periodically based on customer feedback and trend forecasting. Sign up for our email updates to be notified when we release limited-edition colorways or expand our core collection.
Absolutely. We designed the Truth by Republic Turtleneck with a curved hem specifically to prevent bunching when tucked into pants or skirts. The fabric weight and stretch recovery keep the turtleneck smooth against your body without creating bulk at the waistline.
The slightly relaxed fit through the body provides enough fabric to tuck securely while the spandex content prevents the material from pulling out during movement. Many customers tell us they appreciate how well it stays tucked throughout a full workday.
The ribbed turtleneck collar is designed to sit comfortably without constriction. The rib knit naturally has give, so it gently frames your neck rather than feeling restrictive. You can fold the collar down slightly if you prefer lower coverage, or wear it at full height for classic turtleneck styling.
The spandex in the collar ensures it returns to its original shape rather than stretching out over time. If you’re sensitive to fabric around your neck, we recommend trying our mock neck style instead, which offers a similar aesthetic with less coverage.
The truth by republic turtleneck has a slightly more relaxed fit than our fitted henley or crew neck styles, but it’s more tailored than our oversized sweater silhouettes. If you own other pieces from our core collection, order the same size you wear in those styles.
The body of the turtleneck is cut to skim rather than cling, providing comfortable movement while still looking polished and intentional. The sleeves are true to size — not too slim and not too loose — hitting right at the wrist bone for most body types.
This turtleneck is ideal for layering under slip dresses, jumpers, and sleeveless styles thanks to its medium-weight knit construction. The fabric lies flat without adding visible bulk, and the sleeves taper slightly toward the wrist to slide easily under dress armholes.
We specifically designed the neckline to complement dress necklines — it won’t show above most scoop or V-neck dress styles when worn underneath. The curved hem stays tucked smoothly so you won’t have fabric peeking out below shorter dress lengths.
