Product Insights
The Optical Honeycomb Knit Polo from Le 31 uses a honeycomb knit with micro-gaps to keep skin cooler than flat jersey, while 65% recycled polyester and 35% cotton ensure lasting pattern sharpness and a soft feel. Hexagonal cells refract light, adding a subtle shimmer that prevents black from looking flat and creates a dressed-up casual look. True to size with a standard fit that retains its shape through wear.

A polished polo for office and smart-casual days
Wear this knit polo when you want a comfortable step up from a basic shirt for the office or smart-casual plans. According to reviewers, the soft, stretchy honeycomb knit drapes well and pairs nicely with a blazer or chinos for a dressy-but-relaxed look. Some reviewers note the fabric is delicate and can pill or snag, so it may need gentle care to keep looking sharp.[1]
Warm-weather gatherings indoors
Wear this knit polo to warm-weather indoor get-togethers like parties and dinners. Its breathable, lightweight honeycomb fabric wears cool even in crowded or warm rooms, and reviewers report it's 'not too hot' for all-day comfort.[1]
Dressy-casual everyday polo
Per a summary of customer reviews, this soft, stretchy honeycomb knit polo works for low-key daily wear, from errands and weekend outings to office layering, thanks to its dressy-casual look. Reviewers also noted the knit is delicate, so it's best suited to light, low-abrasion days rather than active, high-movement ones.[1]
Sizing up and drying for a custom fit
Based on customer reviews, this polo's relaxed cut runs about a half to full size large, and the knit shrinks significantly in the dryer. Some reviewers size up and then intentionally machine dry it to shrink the shirt toward their intended fit. If you keep your usual size, reviewers note you'll likely need to line dry exclusively, and those preferring a slimmer cut may find the relaxed silhouette too baggy out of the box.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Optical Honeycomb Knit Polo: Choose this if you want a soft, breathable long-sleeve knit polo for office layering, warm-weather gatherings, or dressy-casual everyday wear — reviewers describe its honeycomb knit as draping beautifully and wearing cool, in six colors from Small to X-Large, with 65% recycled-polyester and 35% cotton blend. Be aware it runs about half a size to a full size large and shrinks significantly in the dryer, so plan to line dry or size and shrink accordingly, and note that several reviewers found the delicate knit snags, pills, and pulls easily after limited wear.[1] | Embossed Knit Polo: Choose this if you want a long-sleeve knit polo with an all-over raised embossed texture (described as honeycomb- or pebble-like), a folded three-button polo collar that lies flat, and ribbed cuffs and hem, in a soft LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose blend (50% viscose, 28% polyester, 22% nylon) designed in Canada. It comes in sizes Small to X-Large and five colors (Black, Patterned Ecru, Pine/Bottle Green, Slate Blue, Lilacs). Note that per a reviews analysis, it runs large and the small is too ample for a standard small, so sizing down is recommended if you want a trim fit.[2,3,4,5] | Herringbone Jacquard Knit Polo: Choose this if you want a textured, smart-casual long-sleeve knit polo: it's made of soft, ultra-comfortable 100% recycled (reprocessed) cotton with a dense two-tone herringbone jacquard pattern, matte finish, and solid black three-button collar, cuffs, and hem. It works well as a dressier alternative to a tee under a blazer or suit jacket without bulk, per one reviewer, and multiple reviewers report a true-to-size fit right off the hanger. Its pleasing design and quality material also made it a well-received gift, per one gift-giving review.[6,7,8] |

Good quality but...
This sweater is a high quality material. It's got some weight to it, which is nice. The only issue I have with it is that it fits almost like a size larger than other types of Simon's men's medium sweaters. I ordered 3 shirts, one was Boss which was a medium and fit perfect. The other sweater was the same brand and this one, both are mediums, but this honeycomb knit is longer on the shirt, longer on the arms too. I checked the tags and they are all mediums. I will try to shrink it a bit in the washer and dryer, but other than that, the quality is really nice. It looks good too. I still recommend this shirt but be aware, you may want to consider 1 size smaller than normal.

Amazing Polo
Amazing polo, but be mindful this shrinks in the dryer. I luckily took a size larger & it's a perfect fit now.
