Face-Obscuring Sweaters

The Ninja Turtle-Neck Mask Armwarmer Tee is a Fashionable Disguise

— January 24, 2012 — Fashion
Strangely named the Ninja Turtle-Neck Mask Armwarmer Tee, this sweater form online men's fashion retailer Guylook offers hip, avant-garde style with the ability to obscure who's showing it off. Made for the fashion-conscious -- or even the self-conscious -- this ultra-modern knit comes in both black and grey and features a turtle neck design that leads into a ninja-like face mask and built-in hand warmers to provide its wearer with extra protection on colder days.

You'll never be dressed for winter in a more happening and all-encompassing garment than this. The sweater also works as a face guard, which you might be able to use as a shield from that person who keeps coming into the office sneezing or as a filter for bad smells. Of course the raddest part of the Ninja Turtle-Neck Mask Armwarmer Tee is its stealth design, which will keep your identity secret when you really want it to be.
