I used to refrain from wearing any turtleneck or mockneck because of my shorter stockier neck, but I bite the bullet and wore one for a week, and it's growing on me. Now, they're def in my rotation

[@wasabista1613]

I think the first sweater is called a "Guernsey" with a "z" sound? A guerney is a cart for carrying injured people around in a hospital.

[@michaelcarroll6400]

Guernsey is an island between France and England and you are correct with the z sound

I bought a turtleneck back in January and I love it, finally decided to get it tailored so I think I’ll love it even more once It’s fitted!

[@Kaiyening]

Turtleneck might be my favourite piece of clothing. I have 6, and I find that cashmere still feels so much better even than super 100+ merino wool. I might be addicted to these.

[@nas9563]

One of the greatest things about your video is that you treat various types of clothes in an extensive way and have never been biased towards current fashion trends. I have not known Guernsey sweater in my life, though perhaps I have seen one somewhere, ha ha ha! Good work, Antonio-san!

[@BlueJayWaters]

I fucking HATED turtle necks for the longest time. Then when I got my mock neck as part of my Navy uniform, I found it really stepped up my style game when I would wear it with dark jeans and boots. And from then on, I bought a few to wear with my sport coat for warmer winter days.

[@barewheels5730]

I really like turtlenecks. I think they're my favourite style of sweaters, even if pretty much nobody I know at work wears it. One layering method I like with turtlenecks that is rarely done is wearing it under a dress/button-up shirt, having only the neck peak out. It gives that scarf/cravat look without actually wearing one.

[@nac24444]

I love turtle neck sweaters I have them in every color and fabric density available they go with my all of my fall and winter suits, blazers or as a stand alone top. They are so versatile.

[@thossi09]

Whatever kind of sweater, just go with wool. This unfortunately doesn't work in English, but in Icelandic we have this saying: "Ull er gull" - "Wool is gold". As soon as it gets a little too cold for just a t-shirt, the first thing I go for is a trusty woolen sweater. My favorite one is one knitted by my granddad's wife, in what we call "sheep colours", mostly "kinda-white" with some brown patterning. Too bad that the elbows are wearing out... Another one knitted by my aunt is also nice, but almost entirely black and a little white/grey patterning, and just a little too big. Either I need to bulk up, or wash it a little to make it shrink. Both made from very coarse wool, so very informal/casual, and quite bulky. And a turtleneck is great. It's comfy, and reminds me of my old Latin teacher, who usually wore a black turtleneck with a silvery-grey suit.

[@TertleBear]

Antonio, you are the best men’s style channel on KZbin, I’m never disappointed with your content. Thank you!

[@richardzak2140]

I just love sweaters and I own at least 25 of different varieties and colors. What I believe is a great look is a nice pair of Dockers with a dress shirt and tie, complete with cufflinks and a cardigan sweater. Not too dressed up but better than semi casual.

[@ajithayeluru2164]

TURTLENECKS ARE MY FAVORITE SWEATERS.

[@tedstudt8550]

A great turtleneck fabric option is merino wool. Love that stuff - I have 2 light weight cardigans in merino and I know I've two turtlenecks incoming for Christmas that are made of merino wool. Quite excited to integrate them into my wardrobe

[@FabiusPyromanus]

In Scandinavia we have a sweater with buttons on one side of the neck towards the shoulder. It is also an old fishermen tradition. A way to create a snug fitting crewneck before elastic fabrics was invented. They look awesome.!

[@DAMfoxygrampa]

Sounds cool, do you know what it's called ?

I use turtleneck and I realize that it actually works on me.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Super! How do you combine it in colder months?

[@kingsal1212]

@@RealMenRealStyle I personally like to layer a thin down jacket over it or a nice overcoat. Works well with chinos and jeans as well.

[@layzlifts9856]

Although this style of dressing does not fit my dress style, it's still nice to receive the information from someone seemingly knowledgeable about it.

[@MorganKing95]

• Guerney sweater: Yes, I’ve got a grey one that’s in wool blend, and I think it’s great to layer on top of a thinner crewneck sweater (yes, it may sound a bit weird, but the thin crewneck sweater is practically invisible, and I do the layering for functional purposes when I go outside since it gets pretty cold where I live even if I wear a parka. I take the guerney off when I go inside). • Aran sweater: I got a white cable-knit one last year that also is in a turtleneck style. Incredibly warm and comfortable and gives a good fisherman vibe that I like (my family loves fishing and the life near the coast) • Naval sweater: I own a black one (or is it dark charcoal? I can't tell), and I’ve also got a navy NATO-sweater that’s comparable with a wooly pully. I wear the latter underneath a shell jacket when it's raining outside, but not as the dominating piece since I think it looks a bit too military-like (as in looking like I’m impersonating a soldier rather than taking inspiration from one) • Crewneck, V-neck, and turtleneck: Yes, that’s the type of sweaters I own the most since they’re so versatile; some of mine are in cotton and some are in merino wool. The v-neck especially is great to wear underneath a sports jacket or to wear with a shirt and tie. I like turtlenecks, but I mostly prefer it to wear it in combination with a coat or a dark denim jacket. I don’t know why I don’t like it as much by itself, but that’s just me. • Half-button sweater & half-zip sweater: I own the latter and think it’s great to have a casual button-down or flannel shirt underneath. • Sweater vest: haven’t owned one since I was a kid. Might enjoy it again some day, but not at the moment (since I’m in my mid 20’s I think a sweater vest looks a bit too schoolboy-like) • Cardigan sweater: don’t own one at the moment, but I like it (might buy one some day).

[@yusufhaider4374]

Turtle necks are beautiful. If you're young as I am, then you can wear the turtle neck with bombers, leather or denim jackets

[@monoswinger]

I bought a turtleneck 2 months ago, and - before the armageddon - it definitely doubled my eyecontacts with women everywhere, street, shop, office. I bought some others then :D

[@mcowen24]

Turtlenecks are actually really good. I wore it with a suit and had a lot of compliments.

[@Markus.Vidal247]

I bought my first turtle neck woolly Pully. It’s a bit itchy but it looks handsome, masculine and very practical. Oh and it keeps you toasty room

[@johnbartel5229]

I have worn turtleneck sweaters all my life. I don't wear crew neck sweaters anymore as I am 61 years old and prefer the v neck. But my favorite sweaters are my cardigan sweaters. In all I probably have 50 sweaters.

[@Poundsalt_Ryan]

The V neck and collared shirt combo may be the most interchangeable outfit ever. Love it!

[@PritamKayal]

I have sported a green turtle neck full sleeve tshirt now and then during winters with a black jacket... worked good and was comfortable.

[@sagardipchoudhury1714]

Turtlenecks and Crew necks are my fav❤️

[@TheAviationChannel]

Awesome video like always. Keep it up Antonio

[@earlgrey8143]

Collar thoughts: You pull it off, but I think it helps that they are different patterns and materials, and also that the shirt seems to be a button down collar. I would not recommend trying it with a collar that might spread out, because then you might end up with both collars overlapping on top of each other, which looks weird. Also, I think it helps the shirt collar is very structured, and the sweater is unstructured. TL;DR: It works because the two are different enough collars to not blend into each other.

[@rodrigogutierrezreyes4702]

A good turtle neck sweater with a nice casual suit would look great. Burgundy turtle neck sweater with a blue suit would be a nice pairing in my opinion.

[@VigilantAnarchism]

I haven't worn a turtleneck since I was a kid...but I believe I could make one work if I found one. I used to hate Crew Necks because I was into hoodies. But after my trip to Egypt, I picked up a Crew Neck and I absolutely love it; also a Cardigan, which is a very heavy one and needs to see a professional because it's own weight has created holes. I just don't wear it (the Crew Neck) often because I don't want to mess around and stain it like I manage to do all the time.

[@spectre5x5]

I love my sweaters! I like the V neck and half zipper sweaters the best.

Thank you so much, I was looking for this for the longest. I needed to replace all my sweaters desperately!!!!

Love your videos, Antonio! I always try to wear sweaters to work in the colder months but I always end up with just a V-Neck over a dress shirt. Now I finally see the other options out there!

[@tedstudt8550]

Cardigans are particularly amazing. If you get some in like grey or charcoal and navy, you'll be a happy camper as you can stick em under sports jackets, leather jackets, suits if they're lightweight enough, etc.

[@hamzaamin09]

I was looking through some sweaters in the mall and I thought man if only RMRS had a video on that. Well, Needless to say I made the right choice.

I greatly appreciate turtle necks but I struggle with fixing the neck piece which is the reason to why I don’t wear it enough. Yes I can watch videos on it but none I’ve found, helps me to go into the details of it.

[@qarhsi]

- really enjoyed this video! - i own 2x crew necks (but not v neck, even tho it's a great option), 2x thin cardigans, 1x slightly thicker, shawl cardigan. - i think turtlenecks are cool if done right, but not everyone can pull it off well. i am not a fan of aaron marino in a turtleneck for instance, but brian sacawa (Hespokestyle) looks great in one! -polo knit sweater is a great option, but 2 collars adjacent looks a little off haha

Where do you recommend buying cashmere turtlenecks I’ve bought 2 but it was a wool blend and I find a bit itchy.

Favs are thick and thin turtle necks, silk mock necks, not crazy about thin polos but their function is ok. Cardigans work and vests are good as well.
