October 21, 2025 3 Ways to Style Polo Neck Sweaters
Fall and winter call for cozy yet stylish, so it’s the perfect time to bring the highly-overlooked polo neck sweater back into rotation. If you’re wondering how to wear one in a way that feels fresh this season, here are three favorites straight from our seasonal radar.
1. Layer one under a tailored overcoat
Start with a fine-gauge sweater in a muted tone like gray, olive, or camel, and top it with a classic overcoat. The contrast between the refined outer layer and the casual-preppy polo gives you a relaxed look that works for coffee runs, errands, or early evening. Advanced layering move: try the sweater over a crisp white shirt with the collar subtly peeking out.
2. Pair it with denim or corduroy for texture mix
Give this classic piece some new life by wearing it with a textured bottom like dark-wash denim or rich-tone corduroy. A barn jacket or trench nods to autumnal tones without feeling overdone. We like to add a leather belt and boots to tie it all together. This look feels grounded but stylish.
3. Wear it with relaxed trousers for work or evening
For the office or dinner out, take a soft wool-blend polo sweater and pair it with your favorite relaxed trousers. Bring in loafers and a structured bag, then add a chunky knit scarf in a contrasting color for texture and warmth.
Whether you’re layering, mixing textures, or bridging office-to-weekend, styling polo neck sweaters this season shouldn’t feel forced. Choose soft fabrics you’ll love wearing and fall colors you’ll return to.
