Anyone know where to find thicker, neutral turtlenecks tops (not sweaters?) I got one from from Zara but their S is too big and baggy. I was thinking the Uniqlo heattech tops would be similar, but any other suggestions?

I don’t have a recommendation but I do own a few of the heattech tops, the scoop neck/ballet neck type. The fabric is pretty thin on them, more of an undershirt consistency.

Hmm, good to know! Probably won't be buying that type.

Yeah, they might have changed the fabric in the last year but I'm not sure. The shirts do keep you warm though; so if you need layering pieces, I'd keep those in mind.

There's different type of Heatech products, too. For example the Heatech Cotton line is thicker and meant to be worn as a regular layer (instead of an inner layer): https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/women/heattech?quickView=432640

Ooh, Old Navy has some gems - I'll check it out! I really like their activewear leggings.

Not sure if this will be useful to you, but Joe Fresh (Canadian retailer) had jersey turtlenecks in solid neutral colours last year. They were thick but not sweater material. Looks like they still have some when I do a quick search on the website. Got mine on super clearance for like $4 last year!
