The History Behind the Turtleneck
The turtleneck’s origins trace back to the Middle Ages, where it was worn for protection under chainmail by knights. Over time, it evolved into a garment favored by naval officers, intellectuals, and cultural icons like Audrey Hepburn and Steve Jobs. Its association with confidence, intellect, and nonconformity made it a fashion staple across decades. For a deeper dive into its fascinating journey, visit The History of Turtlenecks.
