Wear a turtleneck if you want to look ridiculous.

Traditional upscale is slacks, dress shirt and sport coat with no tie.

This OP, this is what you need.

The rest was just jokes and whatnot, you know...because you asked about wearing a turtleneck.

Yes yes, OP: still "nice and dressed up."

In liberal lefty college towns, that would be a yes. In the real world, a man wears a suit and tie.

A turtle neck for Traditional upscale? Seriously?

Go with a nice suit and tie. That generally gets a lot of respect.

Reminds me of a schoolmate who wore turtlenecks all through the ‘80s to conceal the vitiligo on his neck.

This is a button down collar

This is NOT a button down collar.

If you are wearing a jacket with no tie then wear the button down collar. Turtle necks with sport coats were what the douchebags at my company wore 10 - 15 years ago.

OP: this is how men dress traditional upscale these days:

OP, do yourself a favor and upgrade to pleated khakis and a double breasted coat.

If it calls for upscale, pressed khakis should be ok (but I'd still recommend slacks like AlamTX). And no 5.11 khakis either.

You could also try the sweater vest with tie.

The answer is the same as the last time you asked this.

No, that has never been considered dressed up. Unless by "dressed up" you mean "dressed like a dork".

I'd avoid khakis unless they are dress slacks with a khaki color and not wrinkled cotton pants. Also, I never wear khaki in the evening. It's a day thing.

What color is the the sport coat?

If you look good in a turtleneck and coat; do it. I do occasionally for work and usually get compliments mostly from women. Disclaimer I am an older guy.

That's about as dressed up as I get anymore. Been wearing turtlenecks for years (at least in the winter) and I don't intend to change.

You can.
Don't forget to wear dress pants.... or just pants in general. It completes the look.

Agreed...khaki colored dress pants, cool. Dockers...no.

Also want to know the sport coat color.

It also depends on the event...what's the event?

Don't listen.

Do it. Be your own man. Try to look like Steve McQueen. Wait.... No. Don't be your own man. Just try to emulate Steve McQueen.

I have worn a wool turtleneck sweater under a tweed jacket (Norfolk Jacket), with wool trousers.

Trench coat, too.

It was a solid look, but not everyone can pull it off.

perfectly acceptable with the right weather conditions.

Right person, right weather, right situation, it's a great look.

Most people?

Most people shouldn't do it. It's more of a high level casual look, than being dressed up. That's where most people go wrong with this.

OP, do eeet!

But do eeet right. Shave your head and wear a turtleneck that matches your skin tone perfectly.

That will make a statement.

(Insert seaman joke here.)
