disagree  Monica Colangelo: turtleneck es cuello volcado, polera es mejor

  -> cuellos volcados tienen los sweaters, no? shirt es un sweater o una camisa?
neutral  Clarisa Moraña: Creo que se refiere a lo que tú tienes en la foto, el cuello Mao es distinto.
51 mins
  -> ya sé la diferencia entre ambos, pero pregunta por el tipo de cuello de una camisa, no de un sweater, o me equivoco? :-)
disagree  yans: Camisa con cuello mao no es seguro porque turtleneck se refiere a un cuello alto y cerrado.
