TURTLENECKS HAVE A PR PROBLEM among men. Too many guys put them firmly in the “not for me” category, thinking them overly constricting, pretentious or artsy. The chin-grazing knit’s reputation suffered a further blow this fall, when French finance minister Bruno Le Maire seemingly declared a plan to reduce winter heating bills by wearing turtlenecks—and was widely mocked. “Let them wear cashmere!”Putting French politics aside, we’ve decided to assume the role of the turtleneck’s publicist. And turtlenecks have poked their heads into every fashion category this winter, from luxe (the Row) to sporty (Uniqlo Heattech).

For the recurring series, That’s Debatable, we take on a contentious issue of the day and present two spirited arguments—one in favor and the other emphatically opposed. THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, you might be tempted to purchase some hot new threads for your nearest and dearest (perhaps they love fashion; perhaps their fashion needs love). But is it ever really a good idea to gift garments? Some folks relish fashion presents, while others see clothes as so personal they can never be successfully bought by another. Here, two fashionistas with opposing perspectives duke it out.

IN SEPTEMBER, Jason Sudeikis accepted the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for his performance in “Ted Lasso,” the Apple TV+ streamer. In what we consider an oversight, however, his mustache was not awarded its own statuette for best supporting role. This enviably thick, above-the-lip thatch is the defining physical trait of Ted Lasso, the lovable Midwestern football coach fumbling his way through the hurly-burly world of British soccer. And it perfectly matches Mr. Lasso’s character: The coach has become a poster boy for nice guys, thanks to an irrepressibly sunny disposition, and his is the golden retriever of ’staches. Thick yet tidy, it helps Mr. Lasso convey affability, vulnerability and humor, said Deborah Nadoolman Landis, founding director of the David C. Copley Center for the Study of Costume Design at UCLA.

Actor Kevin Spacey walks outside the Manhattan Federal Court during his sex abuse trial in New York, U.S., October 6, 2022. During cross-examination on Tuesday, Spacey's lawyer Jennifer Keller questioned Rapp about his account of the encounter, which Rapp said took place in a bedroom at Spacey's Manhattan apartment during a party. Keller said in her opening statement last week in Manhattan federal court that Spacey, then 26, lived in a studio without a separate bedroom. She has implied the scene resembles what Rapp accuses Spacey of doing to him. Spacey faces a criminal trial in London next year after pleading not guilty to five sex offense charges over alleged assaults between 2005 and 2013.

Întâmplarea s-a petrecut în timp ce aeronava părăsise poarta de îmbarcare și se îndrepta către pista de decolare. Nu se știe dacă bărbatul și femeia au fost sau urmează să fie acuzați pentru fapta lor. A fost rugat din nou să stea jos, însă a pornit spre partea din fața a avionului. „Bărbatul forțase o ieșire de urgență, activând toboganul gonflabil, apoi el, partenera sa și câinele lor au coborât din avion", relatează New York Times, citând un oficial al aeroportului LaGuardia. Nimeni nu a fost rănit în urma incidentului, iar avionul s-a întors la poarta de îmbarcare, iar pasagerii îmbarcați în alte zboruri.
