From fisherman knits to reindeer-print cardigans, sweater weather has long been primetime for man-ogling — and this season’s surfeit of turtlenecks promises an abundance of particularly delightful eye candy. After all, there’s nothing like a knit neck-warmer to accentuate a jawline or emphasize a man’s sensitive side. A man in a turtleneck looks simultaneously regal and goofy — comfy, warm, happy, and sensible; like he could hold his own when faced with a cool breeze. Click through the slideshow for a look at the coziest men in the history of sweaters, including Paul Newman, Elvis, Tom Cruise, Kanye West, and many more.
