Some sweaters, and particularly turnlenecks, can give me a really bad headache after wearing it all day, due, I believe, to a lack of circulation of the air trapped between it and my skin. So I always wear a t-shirt underneath, which solves the problem.

As forsbergacct2000 points out, it also helps prevent the sweater from automatically having to be washed right away.

Don't wear it on your head.

I don't wear anything under a turtleneck, why would I?

As some have already pointed out, if nothing is worn under the sweater it will need to be washed after every wearing. For a fabric like cashmere that requires dry cleaning, this would be undesirable.

You know who looks great in a turtleneck and jacket? Ron Burgundy.

I believe the lanolin in merino and some other wools is antibacterial which thus helps control the negative aspects of wearing such a sweater more than once w/o a washing, good for those who dislike wearing something under their sweater. Perhaps the Scots might consider constructing their kilts of the same material.

Who is talking about sweaters? Who wears a sweater under a suit? I'm talking about turtleneck shirts, which I DO wash after every use anyway. I never wear anything under a shirt.

Stay downwind.

It works with a polyester leisure suit as long as the turtleneck matches the piping in the lapel.

LOL. The late Steve Jobs would not be happy with you people!

Perhaps you are talking about different clothing items. Turtlenecks are perhaps not the same clothing items on different sides of the pond.

If 98% of the rest of the men at that party are wearing ties, he looks like he's trying too hard to be hip.

If it is not a situation where he really should be in a shirt and tie, he looks okay; I would not wear the turtleneck with a suit personally. I do have some crew neck merino sweaters that I will wear with sport coats sometimes.
