never rocked the look myself, but i'm for it.

T-shirts: No.
Turtlenecks, preferably of the "mock" variety: Hells yes when done right.

Have hated this look from day one. It says "I really resent having to look presentable for anything"

It also says "I strive to be obnoxiously yuppie; I even made some crudites and chilled some white wine for you! Want to discuss art or politics with me?"

i distrust men in turtlenecks. WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO HIDE?

turtlenecks are so stupid!

the girl with the butt tattoo (harbl), Wednesday, 14 July 2010 17:14 (fourteen years ago)

I am on the fence re: t-shirts but totally in favor of turtlenecks, esp black ones as that invariably means "I'm going to tell your sister I'm a conflicted poet so she will fuck me and there's nothing you can do about it?

How about tucking in your turtleneck sweater

progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 14 July 2010 17:17 (fourteen years ago)

too far

I love turtlenecks on chicks. And they're fine on guys, too, but unless you are Carl Sagan, you will look like a creepy school photographer if you wear it w/a blazer. Or like you are in "Gil Thorpe."

But if you wear a punk rock tee shirt with a tweed jacket, it says "I'm the 'cool' professor and if you invite me to your parties I will overemphatically show you how much I know about youth culture and stay way too long, thereby scaring off the girl you were trying to bed."

A turtleneck and blazer looks fine if you have the right kind of head shape and body build for it. Or is your problem with the tucking? My view: If you button, why tuck?

haha, is that a los straitjackets shirt?

I would not be surprised. The last plot was about some alt-country star playing on the Mudlarks baseball team.

YES!

W/leather coat, it's very fascist/communist 30's.

W/blazer, it's very 60's/early 70's.

Note that I am talking about more suit-jackety type blazers and not casual ones.

the aztec mystic pizza (Stevie D), Wednesday, 14 July 2010 17:27 (fourteen years ago)

It's fine w/a plain, monochromatic t-shirt that's lighter than the jacket.

Grand amiral de la marine des licornes (Michael White), Wednesday, 14 July 2010 17:28 (fourteen years ago)

Also, suit jackets should hardly ever be worn as blazers

Grand amiral de la marine des licornes (Michael White), Wednesday, 14 July 2010 17:30 (fourteen years ago)

this look is ready for a comeback imo.

lene lovage (elmo argonaut), Wednesday, 14 July 2010 17:30 (fourteen years ago)

Pinstriped jacket, aesthetically unconnected t-shirt and jeans is not a good look.

Grand amiral de la marine des licornes (Michael White), Wednesday, 14 July 2010 17:34 (fourteen years ago)

needs a top hat

max, Wednesday, 14 July 2010 17:36 (fourteen years ago)

Fee Fie Fo, FUNFNFUINFLFF! (HI DERE), Wednesday, 14 July 2010 17:37 (fourteen years ago)

just wait for shoulders / lapels / trouser legs to go wide again and this look is back in like flint.

lene lovage (elmo argonaut), Wednesday, 14 July 2010 17:37 (fourteen years ago)

Grand amiral de la marine des licornes (Michael White), Wednesday, 14 July 2010 17:38 (fourteen years ago)

look for my f/w 2013 menswear collection based on the turtleneck look and featuring metallic pocket protectors and chainmail driving gloves

lene lovage (elmo argonaut), Wednesday, 14 July 2010 17:42 (fourteen years ago)

f/w chainmail driving gloves = lol or frostbite

Grand amiral de la marine des licornes (Michael White), Wednesday, 14 July 2010 17:44 (fourteen years ago)

are the two mutually exclusive?

the aztec mystic pizza (Stevie D), Wednesday, 14 July 2010 17:44 (fourteen years ago)

Hmmm. Lol and frostbite!
