I’ll be honest with you, polo t-shirts have always seemed to me like you aren’t even trying. Besides the number of people who’ll basically look good regardless of whether they drape a curtain across themselves or go naked, for the mere masses, polos seem extremely difficult to nail. Their sprawling collar lines, solid colored body and cigarette-shaped sleeves only seem to accentuate a small shoulder, flabby arms and love handles. Therefore, I always assumed you wore polos when you weren’t even trying to look good.
That is, until I came across this.
Behold!
The Giorgio Armani Navy & White Intarsia Logo Long Sleeve Polo.
Actually it’s a long-sleeved polo, made of cotton blended with silk – a combination that ensures comfort while enhancing the richness of the attire. What I love about it best, however, is the fact that it isn’t a solid-colored polo, rather it’s colorblocked in navy and white, and the “blocks* of navy are juxtaposed cleverly at the sides so as to add a trimmed shape to your body and hide those love handles, while the tonal long sleeves also add length and flow to your body. Who wouldn’t like that!
Further detailed with a rib knit spread collar, cuffs, and hem, the only “embellishment” on this polo is the intarsia-knit logo in black at the front, which is still extremely sober and versatile, making this polo a truly versatile piece in any guy’s wardrobe. Although it appears black, it’s actually a color called Midnight Blue, which hits that sweet spot in the shade chart where it appears elegantly blue in the light and noir everyplace else.
Made in Italy, this polo is begging to be yours from SSENSE for $1100 USD!
