Very sharp looking. Now all I need is that long hair lol

I can't comment as I don't have much of a clue, but I have a somewhat related question:
Is it acceptable in the colder months to wear a turtleneck with a suit for a more casual look? Assuming the pullover has a good fit, matches in colour and is of decent quality cashmere, etc.?

Only if you have big hair.

Acceptable to who?

Although I`m tucked in my shell, here is another example of a turtle with sport coat. I like the look with sports jackets and sports suits, but I don`t do it with business type suits. Attachment 2366

on another note, anybody have an idea what the shoes on the right are?

No idea, but they look like the same shoes on the left

Is this the invisible dragon?

Appears to be the Attolini sportcoat, in one of my favorite shades, turtleneck, jeans. Well done.

I suppose I am surprised it is even a question. That is one of the all time great looks.

I wear jackets with cotton and silk tees in the summer and wool and cotton turtlenecks in the summer. Although I don't normally do it with a business suit, it is more because I need to get my sports coats out of the closet when I am casual (and this is definitely a casual look but I would and do often do it for a cocktail party). I certainly could imagine it for a casual touch to a suit if done properly.

BTW, it can be very effective with a DB suit.

I suppose I could pull it off since I've grown my hair out now, but somehow it doesn't seem like the look for me. I'd much rather wear a long sleeved polo with undershirt.

Well, the "big hair" requirement certainly rules me out

Though I don't think any of my suits could be classed as business suits, so I might give it a try and see what it looks/feels like. I don't have a sport jacket yet.

One thing that concerns me is that a more casual suit & turtleneck could present two rather large expanses of solid colour. Maybe boring?

Perhaps I could break it up by adding a thick gold chain with large medallion over the turleneck ...
