There's Only One Thing You Need to Know Before Wearing a Turtlneck

And Chris Paul knows it.

Chris Paul is one of the NBA's most stylish players and he's got more than a few opinions when it comes to wearing clothes. He believes classic kicks like Jordan 1s are the best to dress up (agree) and that when it comes to turtlenecks, there's only one rule guys need to adhere to, regardless of how they're built:

So there you have it, you really just need a neck. But we all have necks (or you should). So how come some guys can pull off a turtleneck with all the swagger of a riding high '70s BeeGee brother but others just look like they're sporting a knit neck brace? Paul's actual point is that a guy needs a distinct neck, of reasonable length, to pull off a turtleneck like a pro. Sometimes, a neck is just too short and wide and when combined with a too high turtleneck, the results are a bunchy mess that just calls out the lack of distance between a chin and clavicle.

There are, however, a few quick fixes for any neck-challenged dudes out there. If you've got a short neck, veer away from chunky knits. Instead, something in a light merino wool or cashmere will give you the style without all the unnecessary neck-shrinking bulk. And if your neck is Brontosaurus-y, the opposite is true.

The other solution is the more on-trend option for fall—the mock neck. It's the half-sized version of the turleneck that works with any neck size while delivering a ton on style. From outdoors-y brands like Battenwear and Beams to high-end options from Rick Owens, and even affordable versions from Uniqlo, there's a mock neck option out there for anyone. It's the people's turtleneck sweater. But having a neck is still non-negotiable.
