Smart-casual style for cooler days
Wear this knit polo when you want a smart-casual or dressy-casual look — reviewers say its diamond weave gives it more style than a typical polo. The long sleeves and soft knit also make it a pick for layering on chilly days, per one reviewer.[1]
A holiday gift pick for the men on your list
One buyer chose this polo as a Christmas gift and was happy with the pick, making it an option for holiday giving to men on your list. Note that this feedback comes from a single gift purchase, and how the polo fit the recipient wasn't confirmed, so consider sizing carefully.[1]
Elevating a smart-casual look beyond a basic polo
A textured knit polo for smart-casual and dressy-casual wear. The dense basketweave diamond pattern across the front chest and torso gives it a more elevated look than a typical polo, while the knit stays soft. The relaxed straight cut falls to the upper hips.[1,2,3]
A textured knit polo for dressed-up casual outfits
This long-sleeve polo pairs a basketweave-textured front panel with a spread knit collar and a two-button placket, giving a polished alternative to a plain tee or shirt. The knit sits smoothly against the body and is shown tucked into trousers on a model, making it a fit for smart-casual looks.[2,4]
A soft-knit polo with a dressier diamond weave
Reviewers praise the soft knit feel of this Le 31 polo and its diamond front weave, which gives it a chic look. Fit feedback is mixed: one reviewer found it runs very small and had to return it, so it may be worth considering a larger size before ordering.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Basketweave Polo: Choose this if you want a long-sleeve knit polo in a 95% cotton, 5% nylon blend for smart-casual or cool-weather layering, with a textured basketweave diamond pattern on the front and a soft knit feel that reviewers praised. One buyer reported it runs very small and returned it, so consider sizing up or trying it on first. Note that the Burgundy colorway is only listed in medium and large.[1] | Optical Honeycomb Knit Polo: Choose this for a sophisticated, timeless piece perfect for office or smart-casual settings, featuring a finely textured piqué-like honeycomb knit and a three-button polo collar. The fabric, a blend of 65% polyester made from recycled plastic bottles and 35% cotton, is lightweight and breathable for comfortable, all-day wear. However, because the knit is surprisingly delicate and prone to pilling, you must anticipate the relaxed silhouette and be prepared to line dry the garment exclusively to manage shrinkage.[5] | Herringbone Jacquard Knit Polo: Choose this if you want a long-sleeve knit polo in a soft 100% recycled (reprocessed) cotton with a dense two-tone herringbone jacquard pattern contrasted by a solid dark ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem, plus a three-button placket. It suits those after a fitted, matte-textured layer for polished casual wear, with sizes small through x-large in several colors including Patterned Ecru, Brown, Patterned Green, Patterned Blue, and Burgundy. Note that the straight, fitted torso and waist-length ribbed hem are described as seen on the model in product photos, so fit on other bodies may vary.[6,7,8,9] |
