everything that begins with the word "turtle" is stigmatized these days

The only person ive seen get away with it in a modern context is Paul at JS, for some people it works, im not one of those people

Depending on the proportions of one’s body to clothing, not wearing things too tightly, how relaxed one carries one’s self, it can be pulled off with aplomb.  Too tight in the trouser department, and with the wrong shoes, it can look like cosplay/iGent/et cetera

If you've got any heft at all then a turtleneck is a disaster.

Late to this conversation and it may be Ivy semantics, but isn't there a difference between what we Brits call a 'turtleneck'  and what our American Cousins perceive as one? Most of the photos above show what I would call a Polo Neck or Roll Neck - on this side of the pond, 'our' turtle neck just has thicker collar which doesn't roll - what the Yanks call a mock turtleneck ? I'm going for a lie down ......
