Zenana Striped Collar Polo Top in Light Orange

A polo collar and a button placket do a lot of quiet work on a top like this. They take a soft striped knit that would otherwise be pure loungewear and give it just enough structure to leave the house in. The contrast collar sharpens the neckline, and the buttons let you decide whether the look is closed and neat or open and easy.

It is made from a blend of 95% cotton and 5% spandex, so the hand is soft, the fabric breathes and there is a slight stretch through the body. The fit is relaxed rather than close. It comes in a light orange stripe, in sizes S, M and L. Bust runs 33 to 35 inches at S, 35 to 38 inches at M and 38 to 40 inches at L, with the waist measuring 25 to 27 inches at S and 30 to 32 inches at L.

The reason to own it is layering. On its own with denim shorts it is a summer default. Under a lightweight cardigan or an unbuttoned overshirt in autumn it becomes the collar peeking out at the neck, which is a detail that makes an outfit look considered without any actual effort. Tucked into a pleated skirt with sneakers it reads sporty and preppy at once. Light orange is friendlier than it sounds and sits well next to cream, tan and mid blue denim.
