Let’s talk a bit about the funnel neck. This cut is essentially the three-quarter sleeve of the neckline. It’s taller than a crewneck, but falls short of a full-on turtleneck. It’s distinguishable from the mock turtleneck by its slightly shorter, looser, tapered fit. And, in my opinion, that’s all it takes to make a funnel neck vibe infinitely cooler than a mock turtleneck.
Now let’s take a walk through some of my favorite funnel neck sweaters of the season.
At the luxe end of the spectrum, this cashmere-blend funnel neck from The Row gets an extra dose of cozy from extra-long sleeves.

Over in the bargain department, the batwing sleeves on this sweater add a modern twist. It's also a dead ringer for a much more expensive sweater by The Row.

I think this affordable Massimo Dutti sweater might be my favorite. I love the combination of barely-there funnel neck and straight-cut drop sleeves. So dramatic.
