In my view, the greatest strength of this polo is its ability to replace several different layers in a wardrobe. It looks more polished than a conventional polo shirt while remaining less formal than a shirt. You can therefore wear it with tailored trousers, chinos or denim and easily layer it under an unstructured jacket.

Measurements are listed in centimetres according to the manufacturer's size chart. The model in the product photographs is 187 cm tall and wears size L.

I would personally combine this polo with higher-rise trousers, chinos or clean-cut denim. Under an unstructured jacket, it creates a polished outfit without the formality of a shirt and tie. Worn on its own, it is a straightforward choice for occasions when you want to look more refined than you would in a T-shirt without appearing overdressed.

• Hand wash in cold water or have the garment professionally dry-cleaned.
• Use a mild detergent intended for wool.
• Do not tumble dry or place near a direct source of heat.
• Dry flat on a towel.
• To help preserve its shape, store the polo folded rather than hanging it on a hanger.
