Piqué
Cotton fabric with a raised, honeycomb-like structure; on the polo it is a knit piqué. The structure does not lie flat on the skin, so the fabric stays airy and holds its shape. It is the classic fabric for the polo shirt.

From the Guide
- 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.
