Gran Sasso Ribbed Turtleneck Sweater Navy

A navy turtleneck sweater in a ribbed knit. A turtleneck, also called a roll neck, is a high collar that you fold over so that it covers the neck. It keeps the neck warm without a scarf and works as an elegant alternative to a shirt and tie.

A rib knit has raised vertical lines; they give texture and a natural stretch, so the knit follows the body without clinging. Ribbed cuffs and hem keep the knit neatly in shape at the wrists and waist. Gran Sasso, the family company from Abruzzo that has made knitwear since 1952, produces its collections in Italy.

Navy is the most versatile turtleneck colour: wear it under a grey or camel blazer, with beige chinos, or under a navy coat for a tonal look. The same model also comes in brown and oatmeal. It comes in Italian sizes 44 to 56; take your usual size.
