NOT CUTE. At least for a teen guy...men who wear turtlenecks think they're awesome/too awesome for you. Being super shallow and judgmental, I would never date any of these men.
No. Never. Not now. Not EVER. I don't claim to be a fashonista of any kind but I do know that I like...and what I don't.... Even on SUPER cold days when playing out in the snow I cringe when I dress my 2 and 4 year old boys in turtlenecks..I don't want them to think that is ok when they get older.I think I actually said one day...these are for cold, snowy playdays ONLY! I had to banish my husbands turtlenecks when we moved in together, so now he just uses them to play hockey...that's ok. I know it is cold here in Canada but seriously.... can't they just wear a nice, masculine scarf? Surprisingly, I feel very srtongly about this.
I think there are a few 'types of men' that can pull it off - it's almost expected...
1. The want-to-be artist. The man that hosts an art vernissage and welcomes you with a glass of champagne and a disapproving once-over about your outfit. Turtle neck allows him to try to fit in with his artistic forefathers, particularly when his art doesn't.
2. The quintessential European scholar. There's something so pretentious, so scholarly, so European (not that all three go together) about it all. I picture a thin man with a cigarette in one hand, espresso in the other, reading some kind of impossible-to-interpret poetry in a cafe in Paris. He's allowed to wear a turtle neck.
Not that I'd be inclined to spend time with, befriend or date either of them!!
Turtlenecks in the winter, sweater tied around the neck or waist in the transitional months...grab me a heineken will you and lets talk about more ways I can look like a snob
