00:00 Sweater Polos Introduction

Recent years have seen a soaring interest in the wearing of sweaters or knit polos, often teamed with other potentially trendy items such as Gurkha trousers.

01:08 What are Sweater/Knit Polos?

The sweater or knitted polo is a knitted garment structured to look like a polo shirt. This means it’ll typically possess a short body, short sleeves, and a collar. Therefore differentiating it from a knitted t-shirt.

03:11 Are Knitted Polos a New Thing? (History)

Polo shirts first came about in the late 1920s to the early 1930s. However, these polos were made from pique cotton. The unique weave of the pique cotton breathed better and allowed greater flexibility than the standard dress shirts people were expected to play tennis in.

As the popularity of the lighter, more comfortable polo shirt started to increase, so did the interest in experimenting with different materials. They could be knitted in a much simpler flat stitch, making them quicker and easier to produce.

Knitted polo shirts started to grow in popularity during the 30s and 40s, as the use of polos expanded beyond the tennis courts.

06:04 How Do You Wear Them?

→ Get the fit right. In a nutshell; not tight, but not baggy either. Although the materials in a knit polo will differ from a regular cotton polo, your knitted version should still fit the same.
→ Go for solid colors. It’s best to focus on a plain color that will allow you to showcase the style of knit.
→ Go for a vintage aesthetic. Keep your knit polo tucked into your trousers. Add some casual footwear, that mirrors the vintage feel.

09:15 So, Timeless or Trend?

We’re firmly of the opinion that they are indeed timeless--when done right! Whatever is currently in style changes, so we love it when a classic item like knitted polo experiences a surge in popularity. As an added bonus, the vintage aesthetic just happens to be what’s on trend right now.
