turtleneck

High-collared top

A turtleneck is a close-fitting, high collar that folds over on itself, or a sweater or shirt featuring such a collar: She wore a black turtleneck under her blazer.

The style covers the neck completely, unlike a crew neck or V-neck.

In British English, the same garment is often called a polo neck.
