With its nautical striped pattern, this turtleneck shirt is far too nice to be worn just as a base layer—it literally cuts a fine figure when worn on its own. The durable jersey, crafted in a distinctive ribbed knit, hugs the body’s contours beautifully without feeling constricting. Lanius crafts it from skin-friendly, certified organic cotton. A small amount of spandex enhances comfort and ensures the garment retains its shape. This long-sleeve shirt is incredibly versatile—whether paired with jeans or a skirt, or worn under a blazer or a simple sleeveless sweater. You can also wear it under a knit sweater to create a striking visual accent with the striped turtleneck, or if your skin is a bit sensitive to wool.

The work of fashion label Lanius is influenced by three factors: first, a style characterised by sophisticated designs and forms, secondly the use of certified raw materials and thirdly the guarantee that all garments have been produced under fair working conditions. Depending on the garment, one factor may get centre stage, but the other factors don’t move out of the focus – however, importance is always attached to outstanding quality both in terms of materials and finish. The label was founded in 1999 by Claudia Lanius, who works on all her ideas and designs in her Cologne studio; she has them developed by her team and then assembled by producers in several countries.
