The knit polo sits in a strange middle ground - too soft to read as a shirt, too collared to read as a sweater. That is exactly what makes it useful.
The collar is knitted with enough body to stand rather than collapse, and a short three-button placket decides how formal the piece is on any given day. Sleeves stop just above the elbow with a ribbed band, and the body is cut short and slightly boxy so it sits at the waistband instead of bunching over it. A fine marled texture runs through the knit, and the buttons sit a shade warmer than the surface around them.
Buttoned up it is nearly a shirt. Open, it is a sweater someone thought about. Same garment, two entirely different rooms.
Details You'll Love
- Pointed knit collar - structured to stand rather than collapse, under a jacket or on its own.
- Three-button placket - open or closed shifts the piece from relaxed to close to a shirt.
- Elbow-length ribbed sleeves - built for the stretch of the year that is neither warm nor cold.
- Short, slightly boxy body - cut to sit at the waistband rather than bunching over it.
- Fine marled wool knit - catches light unevenly, so a plain piece never reads flat.
