What is a knitted polo shirt best worn with?

A knitted polo pairs well with chinos or jeans for a smart-casual look that avoids feeling overdressed. Adding a jacket or coat over the top works for cooler days without losing the collar detail underneath.

How is a knitted polo different from a standard cotton polo shirt?

A knitted polo is made from a heavier, textured knit fabric rather than smooth cotton piqué, giving it more warmth and a slightly more casual, jumper-like feel. This makes it better suited to autumn and winter wear than a typical summer polo.

How do I keep a knitted polo collar looking sharp?

Folding the collar down neatly after washing and avoiding tumble drying on high heat helps it hold its shape over time. Ironing on a low setting, if the care label allows it, can also help crisp up the collar.

Are knitted polos suitable for smart-casual events?

Yes, a fine knit polo in a neutral colour works well for smart-casual occasions such as dinners or daytime events. Pairing it with tailored trousers rather than jeans lifts the outfit further if a slightly dressier look is needed.

How often should a knitted polo be washed?

Knitwear generally needs washing less often than cotton polos, since frequent washing can cause the knit to lose its shape faster. Airing the polo between wears and spot cleaning where needed helps it last longer.

What colours work best for a versatile knitted polo?

Neutral shades like black, grey and natural offer the most flexibility, pairing easily with existing trousers, jackets and jeans. Brighter colours such as orange or yellow work well as a statement piece against a more muted outfit.

Men's Knitted Polos

The knitted polo bridges the gap between a jumper and a shirt, giving you the structure of a collar with the comfort of knitwear. Short sleeve versions work well as a smart-casual top on their own during milder days, while long sleeve knitted polos take on the role of a lightweight jumper alternative once the weather turns, offering a bit more definition at the neck than a standard crew neck.

Knit weight ranges from fine gauge, close-fitting styles through to slightly heavier cable knit and chunky knit polos, so the choice depends on how much warmth you're after. Colours span practical neutrals like black, grey and natural alongside brighter options, giving plenty of scope to introduce colour into an otherwise muted knitwear rotation. Sizes run from S to 6XL, and with brands like Lacoste and Polo Ralph Lauren stocked alongside Jacamo's own range, there's a good spread of styling and price points to choose from.
