Knit polos are popular because, compared to the pique fabric used in polo shirts, they look more elegant and can be dressed up. They are a must-have item for the discerning man, looking great with a jacket or even worn on their own. Here are three brands recommended by Toshiaki Arai, stylist for sweaters and casual shirts Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building 1F.


A wide variety of JOHN SMEDLEY products

John Smedley, a leading British brand synonymous with adult knitwear, offers a wide variety of styles to choose from, ranging from classic, relaxed silhouettes to slim-fitting types that can be styled stylishly. For example, the classic "ISIS" knit polo shirt features a large, long-point collar, giving it a classic look.

We especially recommend the "New Basic," a Japan-exclusive design with a length and sleeve length tailored to the Japanese physique, and featuring shorter ribbing at the cuffs than the regular model. You can enjoy John Smedley's signature excellent tailoring and beautiful silhouette, as well as the beautiful luster created by knitting Sea Island cotton with a 30-count high gauge.

Additionally, the lineup includes "IMPERIAL KASHMIR," a cashmere blend, which offers a soft feel unique to knitwear and can be neatly styled for everything from jacket and slacks to weekend casual wear.

John Smedley <br>Left/ "ISIS" 29,160 yen, Center/ "New Basic" 29,160 yen
Right / "Imperial Cashmere" ¥36,720 ■ Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building 1F = Sweaters & Casual Shirts

For a beautiful, fitted silhouette, check out LETROYES.

Le Troyes, a cut-and-sew brand from the Champagne region of France, is popular for its modern fit while retaining a retro feel in its logo and fabric texture. Its exquisite balance of casual elegance and the fact that it's knitwear, making it easy to move in even in a fitted style, are key to its popularity. The compact length also makes it look neat and stylish when worn alone.

The comfortable feel is thanks to the seamless material knitted on a circular knitting machine called Maille. Its excellent elasticity ensures a comfortable fit, and layering it with a jacket or light cardigan creates a sophisticated, mature look.

This season's recommendation is a striped knit polo shirt with a distinctly French marine feel. It's more reasonably priced than John Smedley, and you can easily wear it in trendy colors like khaki.

For Italian-style knit polo shirts, check out EADEM/AirDim.

AirDim, which develops items and coordinates that are highly appealing to women, based on the concept of "Italian contemporary casual," is frequently featured on Isetan Men's Net.
This short-sleeved knit polo shirt, perfect as a Father's Day gift, is made with crepe cotton from the Italian company FILMER. Its high-gauge finish gives it a pleasant, crisp feel against the skin, and its refreshing style is a major draw.

AIRDIM's knit polos, made with high-quality materials suited to today's times and offering comfortable wear, also boast a fitting perfectly suited to Japanese men's sizing. Pay attention to AIRDIM, which proposes a "comfortable way of life" where you can feel comfortable and be yourself at all times.
