MaisonCashmere Essential Turtleneck Sweater vs NAADAM Luxe Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater

Buy the MaisonCashmere Essential if you want a fine-gauge, trim-fitting turtleneck that layers under a blazer and comes in a wide size and color range. Buy the NAADAM Luxe if you want a heavier, roomier sweater with a longer body for cold days and a draped look. The Essential is a 12-gauge, 2/28 Nm knit in 16-micron Grade A cashmere from Biagioli Modesto, made in Florence, and its 4.8 rating from nearly 6,000 shoppers is strong for a knit. The Luxe is a 7-gauge, 2-ply heavyweight with fully fashioned construction and Good Cashmere Standard certification, but it has no published rating here and its care is hand wash cold.

• Choose the MaisonCashmere Essential if you want a soft, fine-gauge turtleneck that fits close enough to wear under a jacket and comes in sizes XS to 3XL across 15 colors.
• Choose the NAADAM Luxe if you want a thick, plush sweater with a relaxed, longer cut for cold weather and a looser drape.
