What's the definition of a turtleneck?
Basically, it's a sweater with a high rolled collar that is turned down and that covers some parts or most parts of your neck. A traditional polo neck or turtleneck is always folded over and it's very slim fitting in the body. Typically, the turtleneck part itself is made out of a ribbed knit while the body is generally made up of a solid knit. You need the ribs in the neck because you have to pull it over your head yet it should sit firmly against your neck.
How should a turtleneck sweater fit?
Basically, there are two schools of thought. The one is the turtleneck is a rather slim fitting garment that is snug and reaches below your waist. Most turtlenecks are quite long so you can tuck them in without them coming out. In the 80s, sweater turtlenecks were very floppy but personally, I think it's not a good style because you have it sit very close against your neck so it's floppy in the body, it just looks weird. That being said, turtlenecks usually come in different weight classes, there are some that are extremely thin and they maybe work in an office environment and it's a true substitute for a shirt. On the other hand, you have thicker sweaters typically made out of wool which are meant to keep you a lot warmer and you might be able to wear them with an undershirt.
How should you style a turtleneck sweater with your outfits?
Personally, I like to wear them directly against my skin or with a thin undershirt. I never wear a polo shirt underneath with any kind of collar and I also try to avoid any kind of dress shirt with a collar because it just looks weird and you can see it outlined from the outside. Sometimes, even an undershirt is too much and I just suggest you take a look at it in the mirror before you go out on the street because if you have an outline of a v-neck t-shirt underneath a turtleneck, it just looks odd.
Turtlenecks are a great way to dress down suits.
A turtleneck makes everything look a lot softer yet you're still well-dressed.
To go even a step further, I've seen people wearing it with a tuxedo or dinner jackets and I find that look is rather odd because black tie lives of its formality but it looks much better like that, in my opinion.
You can also use a turtleneck to dress down a double-breasted jacket and to learn more about that please check out this video here.
At recent Pitti Uomos, I've also seen men wear a turtleneck sweater that's rather thin with a larger denim shirt on top which is topped off by an overcoat or a jacket. Obviously, that's a more flamboyant fashion-forward look and are only recommended to people who really know what they're doing. Personally, it's not a look that I like.
Off-white is a really nice color for turtleneck sweaters especially in the winter because it contrasts with the darker colors that are otherwise usually incorporated in your outfit.
One of the biggest challenges for turtlenecks is to combine them in a way with your other garments so it looks very well put together. I found, in terms of color, if you follow the concept of contrast and harmony, you always look well-dressed.
How should you buy turtlenecks?
Ideally, you get something that is machine washable because sometimes, you'll sweat more if you go from a cold environment into a warm department store than you would with a different sweater. Because of that, you want to be able to clean it regularly and dry cleaners are very costly so ideally, you want to be able to wash it at home in your washing machine. That means you get something in cotton. Cotton is not very insulating so merino wool is probably the best material for a sweater because it is not as delicate as cashmere yet you can wash it on a gentle cycle in your machine at home.

HAHAHA! 😂
Dear Sven, great information as always! I couldn’t bring myself to ditch my meagre collection of turtlenecks from the 1970’s. Now thanks to you I am back in the groove and have even ordered a new “blue fleck” merino wool example to pair under a close fitting cream three quarter length rain mac for the milder English winter days. Nearly 70 years old and fashionable. Who would have thought it? You are the main man alright! All the best, Al.
I remember turtleneck sweaters being quite popular in the mid 1960s. I associated them with the fashions of Carnaby St., London.
At the very beginning, I was thinking ”are those from UNIQLO?” because those turtlenecks have been my favourite and I have been wearing them a lot! Thank you for this fantastic detailed guide!
Turtlenecks and Combat boots are two unisex items i absolutely love :) Turtlenecks look extraordinary 👍🏽👏🏽
I always like this channel, but I disagree with most things in this video, as someone who loves turtleneck sweater:
1. you can wear a long sleeve T-shirt under the turtleneck, darker or thicker material will not see through.
2. wearing sweater directly on your skin is a beginner mistake.
3.. dark turtleneck is fine, you can wear it under medium value jacket or a dark overcoat if you wish. Wearing mono-tone dark cloth in the winter can be stylish.
@@iiChadd i use wool detergent to wash it in warm water, and fan dry (twice per year), it shrink but only for less than a hour before the first wear after wash. I have 5 year old turtleneck that barely has peel under close scrutiny.
I need more videos to feed my addiction.
This guy is the real deal. His videos go beyond his style opinion, but provide "why" the thinks a particular way. The best online videos in the USA.
I want to pull off this the turtleneck and blazer combination but I live in a tropical country
Try a turtleneck shirt, I got a pair of them from Brooks Brothers.
Just conduct yourself as a Italian from up north.
I know yur a Peenoy and I know how you feel brader
First time I feel lucky that around this time the temperature is regularly around -10°C in my country and I can wear my turtlenecks as much as I want.
visit New York in spring or fall. If you're living on an island, please do resist from trying to pull this look off as you would look very dorky.
" Wearing a turtleneck is like being strangled by a really weak guy."
- Mitch Hedberg
Your t-neck is size too small.
The tighter the better
That’s the best thing I’ve ever read.
I always wash cashmere and merino and all wool by hand ... it is time consuming but very gentle to the cloth!
5:55 love it when he shows his funny side
the screenshot from Dunkirk didn't go unnoticed :)
all these outfits look amazing !
another very informative video. Looking forward to more with Preston :]
Always glad to see Sven! Happy New Year!!
Likewise, Ayrton was my childhood idol.
Turtlenecks are so underappreciated in the U.S.
If everyone wears them then its not nice anymore. Enjoy it
First of all the video is really good.
I was expecting something like that since the duffle coat video.
Second, you have the ability to give an air of elegance also to casual outfits and this video is a great example and gives me many ideas.
Thanks.
I’m wondering if there are any outakes from you guys filming? Would be cool to see a compilation
@@yaboi8930 Exactly, I think none of them is with Preston, so we will try to get one up there.
I love it when Sven manages to pull off a timeless fit and not just looks like he is larping. He did so several times in this video 😎 Good Job!
I’ve been waiting for this one for a long time. It’s a surprise that this video combines two of my favorites - Gentleman Gazette and Uniqlo.
I only have to say one thing and that is thank you. Over the month i have been watching this channel you have given me a lot of knowledge of how to dress smartly. And again thank you.
Recently got a couple of uniqlo turtlenecks for just such a purpose as wearing under a jacket. Good to see I'm hitting all the advice even before I saw the video!
Bought a uniqlo turtleneck 1.5 months ago and it's great good to see someone else recommends it too
The dress jacket at 3:03 is fantastic and looks great with the turtleneck underneath.
Great video! I often wear turtlenecks and liked the extra info on How to combine them!
Living in the upper Midwest, turtlenecks are almost a necessity. Just not with a sport coat of any kind. Worn under a quarter zip pullover, is a great look and comfortable.
Keep the bugs out of the neck.
Hello Sven, thank you for the amazing video guide again!
I've noticed that the best option of undershirt for turtleneck is some technical snug fitting short sleeve sport shirt even with a little compression features or viscose (or bamboo) undershirt. As slim fit as turtlenecks are nowadays I've noticed that there isn't that much friction between the turtleneck and undershirt vs wearing just a basic cotton or cotton mix undershirt.
After watching countless of videos and reading countless articles at the gentleman’s gazette, i have slowly begun to build my own wardrobe. Today, i decided to buy my first ever turtleneck. After my purchase, i decided to check if the gentleman’s gazette has any advice on turtlenecks. I was quite happy to see that the very same turtleneck i bought (from uniqlo) was being endorsed for its value and quality from the gentleman’s gazette. So it seems that i have finally begun to recognize quality when i see it, thanks to the gentleman’s gazette and its invaluable advice!
I personally recommend woolovers, they are affordable, come in some nice, natural looking colours and different materials like cashmere and wool. Another thing you can do is to fold the neck twice instead of just once. It makes the neck a little more volumptious and shorter. A good way to not overheat when entering a store or building.
SVEN!!!!!!!!! It's great to see you again :) Feel like I haven't seen you in a video in ages.
I was JUST thinking about this! I'm in the market for a turtle neck to wear layered. I also just bought my first cravat. Thanks Sven!
Stay clear of black or navy? Without black or navy turtlenecks Existentialism, The Beatles and Frank Bullitt would not have existed.
If you wear a black mock neck you will look like you are copying Steve Jobs
@@doctorx0079 If you're wearing a blue jeans with them maybe, but with any other type of paints I don't think so.
You will have also removed a piece of the soul of every architect and psychologist in the world.
Camel or Cream possibly light grey will be your friends when styling it with a casual jacket!
mrjt glen plaid suit, black turtleneck
I found out today a black turtle neck. Fits perfect the grey blazer. The combination with jeans and brown or black shoes is awesome. Sporty but elegent look !
Certain looks stand out from the rest and a good turtleneck is a solid alternative to a 👕 and tie. It is a sharp look.
A thin type layering LL Bean or Eddie Bauer type turtle neck is fine. 😉. I had one in High School, 1980s.
That moment just before the 6 minute mark - yes, youknow the one. Nicely done Mr. Schneider.
Great video, like always! I love turtle necks and wear them all the time. They're a perfect fit for the weather here in Germany. And thank's for the tip with uniqlo, I always found suitsupply to be a bit expensive for a simple turtle neck.
I loved this video, i was just wondering are you going to do A video on turtlenecks. Guality content as always!
The outfit you're wearing reminds me of James Garner's character in the Great Escape, one of the coolest movie characters of all time.
Always dapper and sophisticated! :)
Very good advices, as usual.
Hey Sven deine Videos sind immer äußerst informativ und haben mir mit meinem Stil sehr weit geholfen.
Danke und liebe Grüße aus Deutschland.
Das Wetter ist in Deutschland so kalt auch nicht. 🤔
Wunderbar!
Great video. You style turtlenecks in a very classic way. I myself actually prwfer black turtlenecks because i really like the look of Oswald Mosley or the style of japanese master tailors like Yohji Yamamoto.
Excellent video Mr. The history part of it totally makes the difference. It completes it wo when you use turtleneck.. You know why, you know the history behind it.
"avoid wearing black"
Sigh...
Well if that's a rule, I'm gladly breaking it. Most of my t-necks are black and they contrast well with me.
Same. I love my charcoal gray suit with my black turtleneck.
You can be like archer
In the winter and early Spring, I like wearing my turtleneck with a light colored trench coat or with a coat. Many young men here don’t have the money to buy a suit. Overall I agree on your advice!
Incredible video. I learned a great deal.
I love turtleneck sweaters because of their elegance. Wearing the most fitting turtleneck sweater can be far more elegant than wearing a shirt and tie, at least on some occasions. However, my biggest problem with turtleneck manufacturers is that they make a product that sags badly after a few wear.
I started wearing turtleneck sweaters in the '60s when they were also in high fashion, and I think the quality was much better then.
I bought several turtlenecks from LL Bean, and the cotton was exceptional, but after just a few wear, the neck sagged so badly that I could only wear them to jog in the winter!
When talking about turtlenecks, you should wear one that actually fits!
I always look like an extra from “Star Trek” when I wear these. Great video, you can certainly make it work.
5:56 Nightmare fuel...
I think the 'mock neck' is called a turtle neck here in the uk. I love polo necks.. great alternative with a sports jacket.
Been waiting for this one thanks.
I really like the look of the turtleneck combined with your double breasted brown suit in this video.
Also props to you for not insisting in buying a high quality (and expensive) turtleneck since you don't really wear them that much.
Showing the historical part of fashion at same time remaining classic and fun. Love watching your videos.
Thank you for doing this, I got one recently: it's black (I think cotton), not too thin and looks quite good on its own, from ZARA (they're good) - I think they're coming back into fashion!
EDIT: UUUH RAFAEL WHAT ARE YOU DOING 5:54 ?!
Thank god for this new gentleman’s gazette with Sven
I’m on my way to a friend’s wedding and this video really helped me. Cheers!
Just bought a brown Uniqlo turtleneck after watching this video. It arrived last week. Very comfortable. Thanks for the advertisement!
Turtlenecks, in my opinion, can be a sign of both elegance and intelligence. Both very good attributes and pulling off a turtleneck really shows off these attributes. I’ll definitely try to wear turtlenecks in the future.
Man I appreciate what you do !! I've learned a lot from this channel 👌 but personally I like your way better than the other guy it's just my opinion I prefer to take the info from you!!
I find this extremely helpful as a woman ☺️ I love this look on both men and women. You look very sharp. Thank you for the tips!
Sven, been waiting for this one for a long time! Turtlenecks are one of my favorite garments, and I picked up a thing or two for sure from this. Fantastic video. Also, I particularly enjoyed that turtleneck-jeans outfit idea!
Is that gray one from Uniqlo? I’ve been searching for a mottled gray one just like that for when I’m out on the road and want to remain warm, but stylish.
Cheers!
I can't agreed on the "avoid navy". I think a navy roll neck with heavy knit (submariner style) is great for a casual or smart casual outfit (without jacket). Simon Crompton of Permanent Style have some awesome exemples.
But under a jacket I agreed that a fin wool grey or camel is more easy to pair.
I lived in Pittsburgh PA from 1995-2000 & I was in central VA in the 1990s, 1990-1995 era. The climate & 🌡could vary from morning to evening so a thick-heavy sweater or heavy turtleneck would not be ideal.
Great video and outstanding looks, thank you.
clutch video, was just thinking of buying my first turtleneck. moving from Texas to NY i have to actually buy winter clothes
Dressing nice will always be in style
I agree with most of what you say and I think a video on this topic was needed, but when it comes to a turtle neck and pinstripe I don’t think it’s completely unacceptable, although anything black tie or more formal is obviously not a good option.
What's your opinion on a black suit with very dark grey/black turtleneck? Is it too much black and should I then combine it with a navy blue suit?
Because I saw a picture of Eddie Redmayne pulling a all black combination off and it looked really good, he went also for black Chelsea boots this made it look really fascinating
At 12:06, you look like a very powerful man negotiating the deal of the century. Keep up the fantastic ensembles!
Sven, this was great, appreciate it. Thanks - Kris
It is our pleasure. :)
the dress shirt under a chunky turtleneck is a great look, especially with the collar flipped up so the collar points stick out a bit
I really like all the turtlenecks in this video--the weight, fit, and color. Where can I find pieces like these? Can anyone recommend a brand that makes heavier turtlenecks than uniqlo?
I actually got a tan turtle neck from H&M not too long ago and I pair it with my dark navy blazer and dark wash denim and chukka boots and I like the dark with lighter color contrast in the outfit
I actually really digged the tripped suit combo
My favourite man fashion-related channel, made me dress much more stylish
I remember "mock necks", i. e. those with a short collar, as we used to wear them in the army in winter, underneath the field shirt. But I never considered them a proper sweater as such, just as a kind of additional undergarment. As for the real turtlenecks with the high collar: the sentence "they really show every imperfection of your body" is true. So stay away from them if you've got a paunch.
They were a lot more popular in the 60s and 70s
I have a full zip sweater that is turtle neck,can anyone tell me if I can wear this under a blazer?
Does Turtleneck pair up well with a 3 piece suit? Whats your personal choice?
In my -teens I used to wear it to school in the autumn and winter with a black silk shirt with tiny standing collar (like chinese style almost). It looked quite nice and warm :D.
Lustig, hab gestern meinen ersten Rollkragenpullover bei Uniqlo gekauft und jetzt seh ich dieses Video
I would love to know where I can get the tan coloured polo-neck/roll-neck/turtle-neck jumper?
Die Kombination der Farben der einzelnen Kleidungsstücke ist katastrophal!
Would it be informal to wear a turtle neck with a suit, depending on the dress code?
HOOOOOW?? I swear it happens every time... I get interested in one piece of clothing article or something clothing related, and a couple of days later I see a new video from you on exactly that clothing article or style
Excellent information...here in NY I have on tan turtleneck to go along with my brown Glenn plaid sports jacket....peace4
Amazing ❤
is it ok to wear turtleneck with suit in warmer climate locations? for example, a September wedding in San Diego, CA
Can you do a video on classic practical outdoor wear for hiking or something similar?
Archer loves a good turtleneck.
I have long hair and wear turtlenecks. I always have my hair tied back or up when I wear one. But its still long. I think so long as your hair isn't just left down, its fine.
In sweden this is a polo-shirt
I love them and they look awsome to a blazer
That porch you're walking on is awesome. I'd like to see the whole house
Great video.. and really like the shoes...
Great video, very informative. Just one question I had; where did you get the coat at 8:16? I really want to make this outfit myself, it looks cool.
