This is it, guys. I can feel it.

This is the year it finally feels totally normal for regular guys such as yourself to wear turtlenecks.

I’m done convincing you that you’ll look like Daniel Craig in James Bond by sporting this cold weather style staple. I mean, you will, but you’ll also look like, y’know, you…just in a turtleneck.

That’s because the turtleneck feels equally right dressed up with a suit or dressed down with jeans. Moreover, the style truly does look good on all different kinds of guys. 

What kind of turtleneck should you buy?

At SG HQ, we’re never not going to push cashmere on you. It’s luxe! It’s cozy! And it’s honestly not tha-a-a-a-t much more expensive than other knits, especially when it comes to a statement piece you’ll have in your closet forever (ideally).

Want something slimmer? Go with merino wool, or a cotton cashmere blend. Ready to go full lumberjack? Look for 100% wool (just be prepared to layer a thin, long-sleeve tee underneath because it could be itchy).
