The turtleneck has a reputation for being a strong piece, which is fair, but also for being a difficult one, which is less fair than men think. Blue specifically is where it gets interesting. Navy sits like a neutral if the weight is right. Mid blue reads as considered rather than trying. Even pale blue, which most men would never reach for in a roll neck, works under a blazer in a way that feels more current than a white shirt does right now. We’ve been looking specifically at fits that don’t bunch under a jacket, yarns that don’t pill after four wears, and necklines that actually roll rather than droop. The difference between a good turtleneck and a bad one is almost entirely in the construction. These are the blue ones we’d confidently wear to dinner, to a weekend in the country, or to an office that has loosened up enough to allow it. The range is wider than you’d expect.
