Wink Tobasco Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) Seems lik turtlenecks are not as popular as they use to be, especially on men. (please tell me it isn't so)I still see a few women looking great in T-necks. I used to lean more to mock T-necks, now I only have one left, time to stock up or write them off. Ladies please advise, what do you think of men wearing Mock T-necks? Now I stray into funky territory, I don't smoke, but always thought a smoking jacket (over a T-neck LOL) was a neat looking alternative to wearing a robe around the house. I plain don't like people wearing robes around the house. (or on the street either;)), I've seen too many invalids doing so. So how do you feel about the mocks around town and the Smoking jacket/mock around the house? Thank You http://www.hookedonvintage.com/shop/images/hovdec14_018.jpg Edited December 14, 2010 by Wink Tobasco
Gold Pile Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 I'm not a lady but... The jacket thing is maybe too Hugh Hefner. I agree on the robe issue. I do feel out of style when wearing the mock neck, I only wear it under a sweater or something, never alone. The full turtle was too restrictive and goofy looking. I do notice older women checking me out with the mock neck and other garmets as well. The younger ones don't check me out much regardless of my wardrobe.
phineas Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 Since i've been getting in shape & it's cold i've been wearing the thermals & sweater pull overs with a t-shirt underneath. Also rugby shirts (long sleeve polo's). my chest, shoulders & arms are built enough so that these shirts frame those muscles & draw attention away from my love handles & small pouch.
Feelin Frisky Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) I always wear a tutleneck under my bishop's hat. The combo tilts a little to the left. I think the smoking jacket would look ghey on me. Perhaps not so on you though. ETA: I think smoking jackets make smallish men look a little bigger but they make biggish men look like haymays. PS: I'm big. No haymay. Edited December 14, 2010 by Feelin Frisky

LOL And FF, "ghey" is MY word - you have to pay me every time you use it! ~
tigressA Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 I love guys in turtle/mock-neck shirts. My favorite is a turtleneck sweater Not into the smoking jacket, though. Like GP said, too Hugh Hefner.
Seamless74 Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Dont know anything about "smoking jacket" but a mockneck sweater under a tweed sportscoat with jeans and boots looks very Steve McQueen.. I think its a badass way to go for a nice night on the town.
