Tipped Knit Polo Shirt

The knit polo is what happens when the polo shirt stops trying to be a t-shirt and starts trying to be something better. Where a standard piqué polo reads as sportswear, the fine knit construction of this one reads as intentional — the fabric has drape rather than structure, and the open placket means no buttons to align, no collar to iron. The white contrast tipping at the collar and sleeve cuffs is the detail that makes the whole thing work: a quiet reference to the heritage of the garment without turning it into a uniform.

Worn here in black over white trousers with a gold watch, which is exactly the context it was designed for. In black and white, both of which are the right answer depending on what’s in the wardrobe beneath it.

The polo is casual. The knit polo is something else.
