Do Turtlenecks Look Good on Men?

[Chris0721]

I have a question for all of you out there. Do turtlenecks look good on men? Are turtlenecks in style on men? I am a straight guy with blond hair, blue eyes, and I am thinly built with a long neck. Many people have told me that turtlenecks look really good on me. These people have suggested to me that I should wear turtlenecks much more often because they look so becoming on me. Now, I have absolutely no problem wearing a turtleneck, even a tight turtleneck. I know some people hate having a turtleneck around their throat, but turtlenecks have never bothered me at all. Personally, I think that I am a real exception to the rule with men wearing turtlenecks. I think most guy don't look good with a turtleneck, but apparently I look really good in turtlenecks. I think most most guys are either too fat or have too short of a neck to look good with a turtleneck. Also, I am just curious, do any of you ladies out there like turtlenecks on men?

I think turtlenecks look great on thin men. Not so good on fat guys. They esp look good dressing down a suit or with sportjacket/trousers. Real chic imo. It's a nice way to stand out from the herd at social outings where a shirt/tie could be a bit too dressy but you still want to look properly sussed.

I occasionally wear them, and think they look fine. Then again, I'm taller and thinner than average, and think that's the key to them. I also have a slightly longish neck, so it helps with that.

I look pretty good in turtleneck sweaters

Last time I tried an all-black Matrix-esque (this was pre-Matrix) long black Armani coat, black turtleneck...very smooth.

I really like turtlenecks, but I am also tall and thin. I love these quotes from Mitch Hedberg.

"Wearing a turtleneck is like being strangled by a really weak guy, all day. Wearing a backpack and a turtleneck is like a weak midget trying to bring you down."

I think they only look good and are in style on gay guys.

Are you sure that you don't mean on Straight Guy. It may be a new superhero that the rest of us have not heard seen yet.

I think that turtlenecks are very nice when it's cold. I am quite tall and thin, and I like the way they look on me, especially when combined with an odd jacket and trousers or jeans, on occasions where a tie would be too formal.

Only w/ velvet blazers, though, otherwise they are straight guys.

dont know and dont really care. Turtlenecks make fat guys look like a christmas ornament, the rollneck giving the appearance of the bulge that ornaments have where the hanger attaches. Or they look like Boobahs
