UNIVERSAL
The most beautiful thing about turtlenecks is the fact that they are universal and unisex. They can be worn by women and men, in every age. Those garments do not really have to mean elegance or intelligence. They can also be dark and serious, lazy-looking or colourful and fun. Everything depends on how you want to present them, what you choose to wear with them, if you like to have them as a basic apparel to build outfit with or as a clothing, which plays the main role in your look.
SAFE
'The pullover with a high collared neck still has a powerful allure that communicates, “I’m different.”'
Polo neck is convenient way to be dressed safely without attracting unwanted attention, but at the same time with a intriguing accent.
As Diane Keaten said in the interview for NY Times:
"I like to disappear.
But there is that other side — I’m trying to exhibit myself.”
It’s a conflict, she added,
“that’s classic for people who want attention.”
Be careful !
Turtle necks are BACK !
