Are turtlenecks gay
The Enduring Sex Appeal of the Turtleneck
There is a particular thrill I feel when pulling a tight black turtleneck over my head. Maybe it’s the light asphyxiation of the tight collar or the sinewy silhouette created by tucking the hem into my waistband. Perhaps the unrelenting sunshine in Los Angeles has given this après-ski staple some kind of perverse exoticism in my wardrobe.
