cowlneck

Loose folded neckline

A cowlneck is a loose, draped neckline on a sweater or other garment that falls in soft folds around the throat, resembling a monk's cowl.

The style is both decorative and practical, adding warmth without the snugness of a turtleneck: She wore a gray cowlneck sweater.

Also spelled cowl neck or cowl-neck.
