Often written off as dowdy or twee, turtlenecks deserve a reappraisal. Particularly during winter’s frostiest days, roll-neck sweaters are undoubtedly a wardrobe MVP. Those high necklines not only eliminate the need for scarves, they effortlessly fill the gap left by a shirt and tie—making them an especially handy solution to work-from-home attire. Fine-gauge or chunky, wool or cashmere, turtlenecks are a fast pass to cold-weather chic.
As to the style’s sex appeal, look no further than Steve McQueen and James Bond . Both menswear icons provide useful examples of how to wear turtlenecks with swagger. McQueen favored thickly ribbed knits—a sportier, hard-wearing style ideal for motorcycling. 007, in his many guises, often wore thinner, more fitted models. Even if you don’t have a secret agent’s physique, a finely-knit turtleneck makes a flattering base layer for everything from tailored suits to denim truckers.
