A knitted polo is the shirt for the days a T-shirt is too plain and a shirt is too much. WARDLEY's knitted polo shirts run from the fine-knit Fitzrovia and waffle-knit Mayfair at £39 to the merino wool Devizes and worsted wool Bradford at £69, in three-button, button-through, zip and johnny collars, short and long sleeves. Start with the collar you prefer; the knit does the rest.
Buying points
Collar first
Three-button for the classic polo line — the Aldwych three-button, £59. Button-through for a shirt line — the Lambeth, £49. Zip for a modern finish — the Avebury zip-collar, £69. Johnny collar for an open neck — the Belsize, £71.
Sleeve by season
Short sleeves for summer smart casual — the fine-knit Fitzrovia and the waffle-knit Mayfair, both £39. The range is long-sleeve heavy for autumn: the Richmond (£59) and the merino wool Devizes (£69) wear like light knitwear.
Fit
Neat, not tight — a knit polo should sit like knitwear, not sportswear.
What to wear it with
Chinos and pleated trousers. For the trousers side of the outfit, see our guide to the best men's trousers in the UK.
Men's knitted polo shirts sit between a T-shirt and a jumper: soft enough for weekends, smart enough for the office, and easy to layer under an overshirt or blazer. Our range covers fine-knit, waffle, ribbed, tipped and button-through styles in short and long sleeves.
How to choose a knitted polo
Fine knit is the smartest option and works under a blazer or with tailored trousers. Waffle and ribbed knits add texture for smart-casual outfits. Long-sleeve knitted polos replace a light jumper from autumn into spring, and a button-through knitted polo wears like a lightweight cardigan.
Fit and sizing
Every polo lists its fit and garment measurements, so you can compare against a polo you already own. If you're between sizes, size up for a relaxed fit or stay true to size for a cleaner line under a jacket.
What to wear with a knitted polo
Pair it with men's chinos or pleated trousers and loafers for smart casual, or with jeans and smart trainers at the weekend. For more ideas, see our full polo shirt range and long-sleeve polo shirts.
