10 Of The Best Roll Neck Jumpers

Whether known as a roll neck (UK), turtle neck (US) or skivvy (Australia), fashion’s latest hero piece has finally shaken off its Geography teacher connotations to become a sophisticated modern must-own.

Despite going through a rough patch in recent years, men have at last learned, when worn right, the roll neck can be the perfect way to dress up denim or act as a relaxed substitute for a shirt and tie.

Soft, comfortable and with a touch of the seventies about it, the roll neck is a menswear classic that almost every gent should try at least once in his life. Need a hand picking one out? We’ve got you covered.

1. Reiss Observatory Merino Wool Neck Jumper

Keep it simple with this sold navy blue option from British premium retailer Reiss.

Its soft merino wool form puts it ahead of cheaper high street options, while the deep blue colour will ensure it blends seamlessly with a range of other autumnal shades. Slip on with dark denim at the weekend or with tailored trousers for a business meeting.

Available at Reiss, priced £85.

2. ASOS Roll Neck Jumper In Twisted Yarn

This wallet-friendly option from ASOS is a little lighter than the average knit, making it a go-to transitional piece.

The mottled effect helps tone down the bold red shade, transforming it into a sophisticated, premium-looking piece. The only thing it doesn’t have is the high-end price tag.

Available at ASOS, priced £20.

Despite the rugged construction, there is also a touch of refinement, thanks to its cashmere blend. Keep the theme going with dark denim, hard-wearing boots and chunky outerwear.

Available at Belstaff, priced £390.
