Knit polo
Polo made of knit instead of jersey, in cotton for summer or in merino for the cooler months. It comes with a button placket or with an open camp collar, short- or long-sleeved. Long-sleeved, it replaces the shirt in fall, also under the sport coat. It goes with wool trousers, chinos and loafers.

From the Guide
- Navy on top is the safest choice: safe with light, gray, earth-toned and brown trousers. Navy with navy or with jeans only works with a clearly different fabric.
- White is safe with light trousers, navy, jeans, taupe and olive. With gray and brown it works, but looks flatter; a top with texture helps there.
