Definition of undefined

The term "turtleneck" likely originated in the late 19th century, possibly from the high collars of sweaters worn by sailors and fishermen. The "turtle" part refers to the way the collar resembles a turtle's neck, while "neck" is simply a descriptor of the garment's feature. While the exact origin is debated, the term "turtleneck" became popular in the 1950s and 1960s, particularly among artists and intellectuals, and has since become a staple in fashion vocabulary.
