Orange Turtlenecks

GQ has suggested that 'orange is the new black' and that you should 'protect your neck' and as can be seen from the link, an orange turtleneck will do just this.

Longest Distance Someone Travelled To Speak To Us
Across part of a quiet street, read on...

As we were setting up our street side studio for a quick snap of the 2 necks, we spotted two young ladies, chewing on Filet O' Fish, looking our way and the next thing I heard was "Are they wearing matching turtle necks?". I could have regaled the story of James and I buying the shirts separately online, only to find we had acquired the same article, however it was clear the two ladies were more dazzled by matching shirts and their un-calorie controlled diets than learning the truth behind the question. They came over and insisted we were stupid for not having our own photographer and demanded to take our photo for us before getting on with there semi-mauled McDonalds, and continuing their journey towards the next establishment of gluttony.

Warmth - Winter Applicability
We acquired our lovely turtle necks from a mysterious store based in China. They took a concerning about of time to arrive and when they did a greater concern was realised, a severe thinness of fabric.

We are cold

While to the casual fashion commentator these pieces come across as an ostentatious show of winter luxe combined with practicality, they were actually not very practical at all owing entirely to the fabulously cheap material from which they were machine sewn. Put simply they were not warm at all and, as a second side effect of the cheap fabric, they did not mask a male nipple effectively. The luxe ambiance though, was not to be underestimated, just wear an underlayer like we did.

Accessorising
During our time in Live Lounge, there was clear attention being drawn to our choice of trendy gear. People were commenting on the beauty and grace of the turtleneck alone and the way we had chosen a colour of stature.

However there was one chap who saw more potential in the clothing. He had with him a jacket, and decided that James would be a majestic model to try it out with the orange turtleneck. Having explained to the gent that we were simply testing one trend tonight, he was having none of it, practically man-handling James into the arms. Regardless of the fact that we were not after accessories for the turtleneck ,this did not detract from how damn good James looked in the entire ensemble.
