Common can't stop wearing this fall's best knitwear bet and that's fine. Better than fine, actually.

Everyone deserves to be with someone who loves them as much as Common loves a turtleneck.

It's only been fall for 11 days, but the musician and actor has wasted no time hauling the freshly trendy sweaters out of cold storage. Over the past week and a half, Common has worn a turtleneck on three separate occasions. (This tally excludes that time he paired a mock neck sweater with a suit, which is fine because it was technically still summer when that happened anyway.)

Thanks to a handful of intrepid designers, the long-vilified knitwear saw a resurgence late last year that's carrying over into this fall. You'd be hard pressed not to find a fashion house or retailer that will sell you one: everyone from Uniqlo to Ralph Lauren Purple Label is in on the game, and with good reason. On especially cold days, a turtleneck can save you the trouble of a wearing a scarf. But successfully pulling one off is a feat not all guys can master.

For the most part, Common makes it work by pairing relatively thin-gauge, solid-colored sweaters with solid jackets and tailoring. That's the surefire way to make one work in your own wardrobe. But if you've already mastered the knitwear-as-underpinning swap, follow Common's lead put your turtleneck with some swervy pants like he did (in the rapper's case, windowpane patterned) at a New York Film Festival party just this weekend. Because if there's anyone who can convince regular guys that a turtleneck can be downright cool/manly/stylish-as-hell, you better believe it's Common.
