4 STYLISH WAYS TO WEAR A TURTLE NECK

History tends to repeat itself... in style

"Retro" is in heavy rotation, but it doesn't stop at tight jeans, throwback jerseys and long hair. Turtlenecks floated away and came back recently. And if you know how to rock it, they are here to stay in your wardrobe. I donated most of mine after college, but starting to rebuilding my own closet with some curated pieces. Time for you to start rocking them and protecting your own neck, just like Wu-Tang has been trying to tell us for decades. You'll look distinguished... like you actually know what you're doing. And that's a good thing, whether you actually do or not. Scroll to the bottom to check out various styles for those ballin' on a budget or ballin' out of control.

Rock them under a suit for an easy way to formalize your style. It's quicker than a shirt and tie, but you'll stand out (in a good way). Thinner turtlenecks work better here. You aren't supposed to struggle to put your suit jacket over a chunky-knit sweater and get your arms stuck in a scarecrow pose.

Wear a vest over it for a more casual look. Be fun. Look fun. Look like you'll be fun. 

 

Tuck them into your jeans if you want to be like Steve Jobs.

Is it windy in here or is it just me?

 

Now you give it a try. Here are some good options for building your collection:
