You’re Going to Need This Turtleneck to Survive the Weekend

We’ve been spoiled with warmer-than-usual temperatures and very little snow this winter, but here comes the reckoning: in Toronto, a forecasted drop to -20°C plus bone-chilling winds is on its way to remind us what a true Canadian chill is all about. If you’re planning to make it through the next few days in one piece, you’ll need to dress for the elements, and donning a turtleneck should be number one on your list.

If you’ve missed Sharp extolling the virtues of a turtleneck, they’ve made a serious comeback and really are one of the most versatile and stylish pieces a guy can have in his wardrobe. Belstaff’s take, in a rib-knit wool, is thin but still warm, meaning you can layer over it to your heart’s content without bulking up. The techy shoulder patches are an extra detail that elevates it beyond your run-of-the-mill pullovers, and wouldn’t look out of place in your favorite sci-fi universe — inspiration for the new Star Trek series, perhaps?
