DESCRIPTION
The turtleneck sweater was already worn in the Middle Ages. At that time it was still used as protection for knights, who wore it under their uncomfortable, rough chain mail. At the beginning of the 19th century it was mainly worn by fishermen and sailors to protect themselves from the rough weather conditions on the high seas. The simple everyday sweater developed into a piece of clothing at the beginning of the 20th century. The British actor Sir Noël Coward played a major role in this, wearing a turtleneck sweater as a replacement for a shirt and tie in 1924. Actually because of the comfort, but he unconsciously set a new trend and made the item of clothing a symbol of male elegance.
The turtleneck sweater not only has an interesting history, but is also a fashion statement with functional properties.
TOMS Roll-neck is a must-have for cold days thanks to its wool blend of merino and a little cashmere. This composition makes the collar pleasantly soft on the neck without scratching. The diagonal knit structure gives the sweater a unique look that stands out from classic models.
The turtleneck is a real chameleon of men's fashion that shines both on its own and in combination with other garments. Combine it with jeans for a casual look or with elegant trousers for a sophisticated look. A real multitasking star.
