Amidst sweltering summer heat, the quest for style without sacrificing comfort is a challenge worth conquering. Enter the knitted polo—half classic sporty polo, half fine-gauge breathable sweater, and cooler than the other side of your pillow. This hybrid conception may have first seemed as illogical as a jackalope. However, its overwhelming global popularity confirmed that it was actually a stroke of design genius. For generations, the sweater polo, as it is also called, has been able to adapt to contemporary tastes while always retaining its timeless essence. Today, it is the perfect pairing of country club chic and cozy grandpa core. It's already making you look like a boss AND giving you a hug. What more could you want in a men's shirt?
Its inception lies in the mid-20th century, a time ripe with fashion innovation. In an era characterized by post-war optimism and the emergence of leisure culture, enterprising designers embarked on a mission to redefine summer elegance. Inspired by the desire for lightweight yet sophisticated attire, they melded the familiar charm of the polo shirt with the airy allure of knitted fabrics. Since its debut, this garment has become a mainstay of summer wardrobes in various iterations. Its strength lies in the seamless blend of casual appeal with just a kiss of refined sensibility. The knitted polo is the perfect fit for every place you'll want to be this summer. It works overtime to give you that je-ne-sais-quoi understated charm even after your third French 75 at brunch.
