Turtleneck

Sweater with a high collar that is folded over double and lies against the neck. In fine merino it lies flat under the sport coat and replaces shirt and tie there. It belongs to fall and winter, with flannel, wool trousers and an overcoat. Dark shades such as charcoal or navy are easy to combine.
