turtlenecks - how do we fell about them

on the negative, i don't know if i like something tight around my neck all day. but are they acceptable? are they hot?

answer somewhat critical to my evening btw

never hot. barely acceptable.

not unless you are carl sagan

thankig u 2

dud in 2009

but it will be hot again. literally.

i disagree, i think turtlenecks are right around the bend. too 90s to count out. definitely classic, LARGELY depending on the pairing.

but yeah i guess it's a fine line :/

i think there are certain requirements such as--

• you have a big beard
• you you live a log cabin
• or maybe on a boat
• you have an eyepatch (optional)

also would like to point out that those sweater turtlenecks with the HUGE necks are really beautiful

^^ forgotten truth. agreed

i am resigned to the fact that the turtleneck will probably come back EVENTUALLY but i am still traumatized by the rolled / ribbed versions from their last wave of popularity

one of the the things that bothers me a TON is those stupid fucking sleeveless turtleneck sweaters. WHY do you need neck coverage if no sleeves? it does not make any sense.

i hate turtlenecks. my neck is claustrophobic?

how did i misspell this

feel fell fail

anyway i ended up cutting the (turtle) neck off the thing and it looked all right.

I think ones that are flowy and loose around the neck are alright, I mean this is cute (sorry that's a really lazy GIS) but those might have a different name?

And if it's from the 60s or Pierre Cardin, then it's okay too

But um generally unattractive on guys.

yeah those MIGHt have a different name. it's like shawlneck or something stupid, scarfneck or something

cowlneck

right!

i don't even know what a cowl is

I always found turtlenecks on women to be a turnoff for some reason. Once a girl wore a turtleneck on a date with me and I got this distinct "I would prefer that no one touches me" vibe from it.

zing in 5...4...

turtlenecks can be fine, check out steve mcqueen or lots of other 60s icons rocking the look, but they have their moment every 20 years or so

Turtle necks: C/D?

In any case, for guys, I quite like a 60's look with a tight suit and some brightly colored turtleneck, but it doesn't work on me.

working this look right now - good way to escape over-zealous aircon in the office if you don't like to layer.

not unless you are carl sagan

i add noahm chomsky

and francoise truffaut.

I have always worn them - I have a nice grey cashemere one that I wear a lot on weekends.

i used to hate turtlenecks when i was little but i have one mock turtleneck that i like a lot - it barely qualifies though

in france all the ladies love wearing the big, oversized turtlenecks (and not just the very open slouch kind as pictured upthread) and there is something very nice about it, it's luxurious and relaxed somehow

for men the turtleneck/jacket combo is pretty killer i think

we think they look stuffy on most people. me and the little frog in my coat, that is
