Technically speaking, the short-sleeved polo shirt is already kind of sexy depending on how you see it. If you want to look like your occupation is to womanise on yachts under the sun, it does the job. If you want to look like you own a country club membership and your backhand skills are impeccable, pop one on. If you want to look like you know your spirits down to the ABV and tasting notes, you get our drift buddy. What then does Seo In Guk know about the knit polo variation that we don’t?
Firstly, it’s that the knit polo is the handsome brother to the generic cotton polo, as laid back as a T-shirt with a collar that shows you mean business. Secondly, it has handsome connotations — a throwback of sorts to the 1950s where equally handsome men wore them to do handsome things. Thirdly, the real reason why we wear them would be because they make anything sloppy look spiffier.
While the version Seo In Guk is wearing happens to be a mint version from Tod’s (it’s simply called the polo shirt), the Italian House has other colour options for you to sieve through. Two more colour ways (a rust and white) and a piquet version for your on-and-off court life.
