Men's Knit Polo With Open V-Neck And Waffle Texture Short Sleeve
Overview
This short-sleeve knit polo is built on a waffle-pattern openwork construction with a clean open V-neck collar, ribbed cuffs, and a ribbed hem finish.

Fit and styling tips
The relaxed fit ensures comfortable movement without appearing sloppy, while the ribbed cuffs and hem help hold the shape for a consistently neat look. For a refined casual outfit, pair this knit polo with wool or cotton trousers and loafers. For a laid-back weekend, team it with tailored shorts and clean sneakers. The open V-neck creates an effortless neckline that layers well with light layering pieces like a casual blazer or an unstructured cardigan on cooler days.
Notes on fabric texture and colour
The all-over waffle texture provides subtle surface interest that catches light differently across each colourway, making every shade feel unique. This texture also enhances breathability, contributing to a cooler wear experience in spring and summer weather.
