Why a men's turtleneck is essential

The turtleneck has earned its place as a classic. From James Bond to Steve Jobs: men exuding style and confidence have been wearing them for decades. But why? This is because a turtleneck goes with everything. Under a men's suit for a modern business look, with jeans for a smart-casual style, or as a base layer in an outdoor ensemble. While a shirt can sometimes feel stiff, a turtleneck gives you movement, softness, and warmth, making it ideal in colder months. Plus, with proper care, you can enjoy wearing it for years. In our knowledge bank, you can learn more about the definition of a turtleneck.

Filtering turtlenecks and quickly finding your perfect sweater

Men's turtleneck size & fit

The fit determines the look of the turtleneck. The slimmer the fit, the sleeker you appear. The looser the fit, the more freedom of movement you have, and you come across more relaxed. You can experiment until you find your favourite.

Material: merino turtleneck, cashmere turtleneck, cotton blend

By considering the material of a turtleneck, you keep yourself warm and elevate your outfit. Both merino and cashmere are known as luxurious and elegant fabrics that also provide warmth. Cotton is primarily practical and comfortable.

Turtlenecks in various colours & designs

Turtlenecks come in a variety of colours and designs. This makes it easy to match the turtleneck to the occasion. Black, white, and beige turtlenecks are the most versatile to mix and match. Blue and green are also popular shades to experiment with.

Turtleneck, turtleneck, or rollneck: what's the difference?

The terms 'turtleneck' and 'rollneck' are often used for sweaters with a rollable collar. However, there is a difference. The collar of a turtleneck is much higher than that of a turtleneck. This also makes the turtleneck a bit warmer than the turtleneck! A rollneck has a collar that is rolled and falls along the neck.

Turtlenecks in different materials for all weather

Merino turtlenecks for men

Merino wool is soft, breathable, and temperature-regulating, ensuring you're never too hot or too cold. The fabric is also odour- and crease-resistant, ideal for daily wear. With its luxurious look, you can wear a merino turtleneck as easily under a suit as casually with jeans.

Luxurious cashmere turtlenecks

The fine cashmere fibres make the sweater light, supple, and wonderfully warm without feeling heavy. Cashmere has an elegant sheen and instantly elevates any outfit. With proper care, a cashmere turtleneck stays in top condition for years.

Breathable cotton turtlenecks

A cotton turtleneck is ideal for the transitional seasons or if you easily get warm. Cotton feels airy and soft but provides less warmth than merino wool or cashmere. Therefore, it's a comfortable choice for indoors or milder days.

Men's turtlenecks in fits & knits for every style

Fine-knit Slim-Fit turtleneck

The fine-knit Slim-Fit turtleneck fits nicely to the body and gives a sleek, polished look. With its thin knit, you can easily wear it under a blazer without it bunching up. The sweater feels light and comfortable, perfect for both work and leisure.

Cable-knit turtleneck

A cable-knit turtleneck has a coarser knit with distinctive patterns, creating a warm, robust look. Perfect for cold days or a casual outdoor style. Pair it with jeans and boots for a rugged look or wear it under a wool coat for extra warmth.

Regular-Fit turtleneck

A Regular-Fit turtleneck offers more room and comfort than a Slim-Fit version. This fit is ideal for men who prefer a classic, relaxed look. It's easy to pair with both chinos and jeans and suits nearly every body type.

Styling tips for men: pairing turtlenecks

Turtleneck under a suit or blazer

A turtleneck replaces the shirt and tie in one smooth line. This provides a clean, streamlined look without unnecessary details. You still look professional but without being overly formal. Plus, the high collar enhances your jawline and shoulders, giving you a powerful, confident look.

Smart-casual turtleneck with jeans

The combination of a turtleneck and jeans is a great example of smart-casual done right. It's comfortable, looks thoughtful, and fits almost any occasion. From work meetings to weekend brunches, your outfit appears relaxed yet polished. Lightly roll up the sleeves or pair it with a simple watch or bracelet for extra style points.

Outdoor layering with a turtleneck

This combination brings together warmth, style, and functionality in one look. A thin merino wool turtleneck is the perfect base layer because it breathes, is warm, and wicks moisture away. Wear an overshirt, bodywarmer, or light down jacket over it for additional insulation. For real outdoor weather, opt for functional jackets like a parka, trenchcoat, or wool coat.

FAQs about men's turtlenecks

Is a turtleneck formal enough for the office?

A turtleneck can be formal enough for the office if you style it correctly. Pair the sweater with a formal item like a blazer to maintain the formal look. Dark shades like navy, black, or charcoal work best for a business outfit. You can also combine a light turtleneck with wool trousers and smart shoes for a more creative look.

Can I wear a turtleneck under a suit?

Absolutely! A turtleneck under a suit is a stylish twist on the classic smart-casual look. It gives you a modern and polished appearance, making it perfect for the office, a business meeting, or a stylish dinner. Opt for a thin, fine-knit turtleneck in a neutral colour like black, navy, or grey. Ensure your suit fits well so the turtleneck sits nicely.

What should you wear under a turtleneck?

Ideally, you wear nothing under a turtleneck. This may sound strange, but a turtleneck should feel like a second skin. An extra layer, like a basic T-shirt, is quickly visible and gives you an unkempt look. Especially with a slim-fit turtleneck, you want to maintain the lean, clean look. Still prefer something underneath? Opt for a T-shirt with a deep V-neck in a neutral colour.

Which colour turtleneck suits men best?

The best colour for you depends on your skin tone, the occasion, and, of course, the rest of your wardrobe. However, there are a few colours that look good on almost every man and are easy to mix and match:

• Black is perfect for a formal or minimalist look.
• A navy turtleneck is a safe choice for both the office and a night out.
• Light grey appears sporty, while charcoal looks more elegant.
• Dark green or burgundy add character to your outfit without being loud.

Caring for and washing turtlenecks: keeping them sharp

Wool is naturally self-cleaning. Often, airing it outside after wearing is sufficient. Hang your turtleneck on a hanger or over a chair for a night. Do you still need to wash it? Use the wool wash programme at 30 °C with a low spin speed. Use a mild wool detergent and avoid fabric softener as it damages the fibres. Then, let the turtleneck dry flat on a towel, away from the sun or direct heat sources. Fold the sweater neatly and store it on a shelf in your wardrobe to maintain its shape. Have some fuzz? You can easily remove it with a lint brush or fabric shaver.
