Men’s roll neck jumpers for smart-casual dressing, work and winter layering. Often also called polo neck or turtleneck jumpers, this high-collar knit gives you a polished alternative to a shirt and tie and layers cleanly under coats, jackets and tailoring.
The WARDLEY Marylebone Roll Neck is a fine ribbed knit with a slim fit designed to layer neatly, while the Chiswick gives you a lower mock-neck option. Both work with tailored trousers, jeans and outerwear without adding bulk.
Roll neck, polo neck or turtleneck?
In UK menswear, roll neck and polo neck are often used for the same high-neck knit, while “turtleneck” is the common US term. A mock neck sits lower and usually does not fold over. If you want the classic folded high collar, choose a true roll neck; if you prefer less height around the neck, a mock neck is the easier option.
How should a men’s roll neck jumper fit?
A roll neck should sit close to the body without clinging. The shoulder seams should stay near your natural shoulder, the sleeves should finish at the wrist, and the collar should fold cleanly without collapsing. If you plan to wear one under a blazer or overcoat, a finer knit and neater fit will layer best.
What to wear with a roll neck jumper
For a sharper outfit, pair a roll neck with pleated trousers and an overcoat. For weekends, wear one with straight-leg jeans and boots. Black, navy, charcoal and ecru are the easiest colours to combine across a winter wardrobe.
