art critics, roll neck jumpers are a key piece this
season. Embrace autumn/winter’s turtle-neck
trend with menswear editor Ian Wright’s guide
to getting on a roll, whatever the occasion
While the weather is cool but not yet arctic, a fine roll neck is a great transitional piece. Contrast the jumper’s super-soft merino wool with more richly textured corduroy trousers. Tan brogues give the casual ensemble a smart edge.

key colour this winter”
This look proves that the roll neck is a great substitute for a traditional shirt and tie. With knits, unlike shirts, dark colours work particularly well under suits, creating a confident, dramatic outfit that you can wear for extra-curricular drinks and dinners too.
“The HEIGHT of the
roll conveys the
necessary formality”
The roll neck knit is a versatile layering piece, taking smart and casual occasions in its stride with minimal effort. Whether it’s a walk in the woods or a day out in town, the roll neck negates the need for a scarf, while a water-resistant jacket and tough leather boots will tackle all but the most unpleasant weather with ease.
