The male stars will again dare...to not bare.

Will Smith, Nick Jonas and Henry Cavill sported similar looks recently—all wore turtlenecks, a high-neck sweater that was super popular among Beatniks in the '50s and '60s, as well as in the late '80s and early '90s, and which comes back in style every once in a while when designers want to mess with us when designers feel nostalgic. It appears to be a trend for fall 2015.

Smith, 47, wore a light gray one under a darker gray plaid suit at the premiere of Concussion in New York on Wednesday.

Cavill, 32, wore what appeared to be a medium gray or light purple turtleneck under a tan wool double-breasted jacket in London, also on Wednesday.

Jonas, 23, sported what appeared to be a light gray or white turtleneck under a light gray suit at the 2015 American Music Awards in November.

Of course, throughout history, the male celebrity who rocked the turtleneck the hardest is, of course, Dwayne Johnson.
