turtleneck and other knitted layering
i'm looking for
- a black (and other dark colours) turtleneck to be worn under an overshirt/jacket/coat of some kind
- v neck sweater to be worn over a button down with a tie
- regular sweatshirts to be worn under slightly flamboyant/patterned jackets
do you have any brand recommendations for these items? prefer dark colours for all of them, and good quality material. budget around 50-60, per piece, willing to stretch if there's something really good out of reach.
tia!

also, inspo/pinterest boards you guys have made for these kinds of fits would be much appreciated!!
Banana republic on sale is fine for 100% merino turtlenecks that fit under suits, they'll run you like $60.
gotcha
i'll check them out
in general what do you think about v necks with a shirt and tie
do you think they look classy or mid?
Uniqlo
V-necks can be great, they're just slightly trickier to pull off imo. Just check #waywt a number of Ivy-style folks use them as you're suggesting, some streetwear folks too.
Can't give specific brand suggestions, other than what already proposed, as I am EU based, hence they could be a bit different (Suitsupply is beyond that). But 100% merino turtleneck/v-necks will be thin enough for your layering. As for sweatshirts, how about Champions?
Just throwing in that brooks brothers might be a running a half all sale on all their knitwear, which would put their turtlenecks and v-neck within that $50-60 price range. You could also probably find a good amount of BB for less on ebay
i’ll keep them in mind
i’ve heard good things about uniqlo i think they have a merino range
I bought some dark turtlenecks recently from LL Bean, and I think they are pretty nice. They run big, so consider sizing down.
im also highly interested in cashmere although i know it can be very expensive
do you guys buy second hand?
what are some good brands to look out for for cashmere
