Turtle neck bodysuits with long sleeves in red jersey
Anyone searching for turtle neck bodysuits should know up front that we make a single one. It’s red with long sleeves, and you wear it in place of a sweater on days that need some color.
How our red turtleneck is cut
The collar is high and covers your neck. Down below, the bodysuit has a thong-cut bottom that fastens with snaps. Nothing comes untucked. That’s the whole reason to pick a bodysuit over a regular turtleneck top, and you’ll notice it most with high-waisted pants, where the line at your waist stays flat from morning to evening.
We sew it from a smooth stretch jersey. It follows the figure and it isn’t see-through, so there’s no need for a cami underneath. Is it warm? Warm enough that between seasons you can skip the scarf and leave your jacket open.
Palazzo pants, mom jeans or a gray coat
For the office, we’d tuck it into black palazzo pants and add loafers. The wide leg balances a top this close to the body. On a weekend walk the same bodysuit goes with mom jeans, a light jacket and sneakers.
Winter is when red earns its keep. Under a gray coat, with the collar showing above the lapels, it’s the one bright thing in the outfit. Jewelry can stay simple. Gold hoops and a black belt with a small buckle are all we’d add, since the collar already takes up the space where a necklace would go.
It works with a skirt and under a blazer too. Because the fabric lies flat against the body, there’s no bulk at the waistband.
Before you order the bodysuit
We make it in XS through XL, so take your bust and hip numbers and compare them with the size chart on the product page. In UK listings you’d see the name written as one word, turtleneck bodysuits, and it’s the same piece.
Since there’s only this red style, we won’t pretend you have a row of colors to pick from. What you do get is a bodysuit sewn by its maker in Ukraine.
Frequently asked questions
Do turtle neck bodysuits stay tucked in all day?
Ours does. The snaps at the bottom keep it in place when you sit, reach or bend.
How should I wash the red bodysuit?
A short cycle in cool water is enough for this jersey.
Is it only for cold weather?
No. It’s an all-season piece. In spring and fall it goes with jeans and an open jacket, and in winter you wear it under a coat.
Do you make turtle neck bodysuits in black or white?
Not with this collar right now. You’ll find other necklines among our long-sleeve bodysuits, more of this color under red bodysuits, and every bodysuit we sew on the main page. If it’s the collar you love, look at our turtleneck dresses.
