There is something deeply satisfying about a proper knitted polo, and this one nails the brief. Knitted from pure cotton, it has a chunky, tactile waffle texture that feels substantial without being heavy. The navy and ecru stripes give it a subtle mid-century coastal look that feels instantly classic. The open collar is the real winner here. By ditching the buttons, it sits in a relaxed, natural V-shape that keeps things breezy and unstudied. Ribbed cuffs clean up the short sleeves, framing the arms nicely without squeezing. It is an easy piece to throw on when you want to look put-together but absolutely refuse to wear a stiff shirt. Tuck it into some relaxed olive chinos or wear it loose over linen trousers for Sunday pub lunches or seaside weekend escapes.
