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

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

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?

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

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

this look is ready for a comeback imo.

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