    Polo necks? No I don't have any but according to the guardian style section..
    The polo neck is the most bad-ass player in fashion right now. So wrong for so long, it is suddenly so right. Forget the Milk Tray man, forget cheesy models wearing rollnecks outdoors to signal wholesome, mail-order family life. Forget 70s skiwear. In 2015, the polo neck is Kim Kardashian in a black body-con polo neck dress or Alexa Chung in an oxblood polo neck sweater and leather mini. It is Taylor Swift channelling Funny Face, and Joaquin Phoenix in Inherent Vice

    Better get one OP

    I thought we'd done away with those abominations once we left the 80's?

    I guess it just goes to show, fashions really are circular, and you keep something in the wardrobe long enough it's bound to come back into fashion.

    Next up - flares, bell bottoms, polo necks and balero jackets with power shoulders...

    Oh no I couldn't wear a turtleneck. Even looking at someone else wearing one makes me feel like I'm choking.

    Being a fan of avant-garde jazz, Beat poetry and Parisian cafés, I consider it an essential, teamed with a beret.

    You need to have shown your art an exhibition in order to qualify to wear a turtleneck.

    I have about a dozen in my winter garderobe, in a range of colours and weights. October, to March wear. Very natty, suit a variety of occasions, dress protocols, are timeless and impeccable stylewise, as well as practical, comfortable, and, I am convinced, though can offer no objective quantitative data supporting this contention, are particularly good at minimising the risks of winter colds and minor ailments.
    An essential garment. What a strange question OP.

    No, I cant bear anything around my neck.

    And rightly or wrongly I always associate men in polo/turtlenecks with weirdos and perverts - admittedly this is completely baseless and no doubt a totally unfair judgement.

    Words like Sneaker and Turtleneck are the only things that make me consider blanket anti-Americanism.

    Like anything, a polo-neck can look cool or horrible depending on the variables involved.

    Once the hickies stopped, there was no reason to wear turtle necks (polo necks) any more :(

    Used to have one, think I ought to try it again. That and my glasses - I look like an architect.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Hmm, now there's something I didn't know. I thought a polo neck was the one with the collar that didn't fold over on itself, but apparently that's called a mock turtleneck, and the terms polo neck and turtleneck are interchangeable depending on US or UK definitions -

    It takes a real man to pull off a turtleneck.
