    Anyone know where I can find myself one of these tops.I have looked in a good few places but no luck. I've also browsed a few sites online but some of the prices were beyond crazy.

    Not sure where you can get one at a good price, maybe m&s?

    But I will say this, there are few men that can pull this look off- are you tall and slim op? If not proceed with caution.

    Yes I am!

    IMO the contrast between the slim elongated neck of the sweater and very broad shoulders or a belly doesn't work, where as on a slim guy with a naturally long neck it can look snappy and elegant. My oh is very broad in the chest and shoulders and looks ridiculous in this style as does my dad who has a belly.

    This=good look*

    Might be the wrong season to find something like that in the mainstream shops- would you consider second hand or vintage? Maybe eBay or similar? Or something online from Australia, though the postage would be a killer. I'd recommend House of Fraser or BT but they're pricey.

    These are fairly common in the countries with proper winter but it's completely wrong season for them. I would wait till September and check esprit or s.Oliver if they deliver to Ireland. I don't think classic turtle necks were overly fashionable lately.
