How to Style a Turtleneck: A Men's Guide

A turtleneck adds instant sophistication to any outfit and keeps you warm without a scarf. It is one of the smartest pieces a man can own.

Choosing the right turtleneck

  • A fine-gauge knit layers easily under blazers and coats
  • A chunky knit works on its own for casual days
  • Black, navy, grey, and cream are the most versatile colors
  • The fit should skim the body without clinging
