Turtlenecks are trending right now. TheStyleBlogger recently had a great spread on them and GQ featured a turtleneck montage from the runways in Europe.
I personally am not a fan of turtlenecks because I feel like I end up looking like this.
That’s not to say it can’t be done, and done well. Check out TheStyleBlogger’s piece here.

The first thing to note is that this isn’t a look you can pull off using a vintage piece. Designers are refurbishing the turtleneck to fit better in a multitude of fabrics like fine gauge, merino, and cashmere. If a turtleneck is your thing, update your wardrobe and donate all those old ones you wore shoveling your driveway. A turtleneck is a type of sweater, and should be worn and styled as such. If it looks like a piece of long underwear, get rid of it.
Uniqlo has a good selection of turtlenecks at reasonable prices. In fact, Uniqlo itself is a solid store for guys who want to upgrade their wardrobe but don’t have the disposable income to splurge on truly high-end pieces. Uniqlo is like a trendier version of the Gap. Unfortunately they don’t have a store nearby (unless you’re in NYC), but you can order online. Check it out next time you’re on a shopping spree.
