In summary,
This 100% Lanerossi fine-wool polo shirt, in navy, offers a casual alternative to a shirt for less formal occasions. Its ribbed polo collar and two-button placket give it a understated, straightforward look. Its long sleeves make it a perfect autumn piece – more cosy than a cotton polo shirt, yet easier to wear than a roll-neck. It works well on its own or layered with other items in your October wardrobe.
THE POLO AS A WHOLE
Fine wool
100% Lanerossi fine navy wool offers what cotton cannot in autumn: warmth without bulk, and a slightly velvety texture that blends naturally with the other fabrics in your outfit. It regulates temperature and retains its shape throughout the day, without losing its form when worn. It is a wool that improves with age – the more it is worn, the softer it becomes.
The classic polo collar
A ribbed polo collar with a two-button placket: the classic construction that gives the polo shirt its essential freedom. The collar can be turned up slightly on chilly mornings, left open under a safari jacket, or fastened for a more structured look. Two buttons are all it takes to adjust the opening to suit the time of day and the occasion.
Long sleeves
Long sleeves in fine wool: the difference between a spring polo shirt and an autumn one. They allow you to wear the shirt on its own until late afternoon, or as a mid-layer under a safari jacket or polo coat without adding unnecessary bulk. Roll up the sleeves to your forearms for a more relaxed look as the day draws to a close.
A few details,
Wool and its combinations
Lanerossi navy wool blends naturally with all the other fabrics in the October outfit: the Alfred Brown woollen fabric of the suit, the Loro Piana fabric of the safari jacket, and the felt of the polo coat. Without competing with any of them. The result: a base layer that blends into the overall look, or which can stand alone on more casual days.
The two-button placket
Two buttons, not three: a understated proportion that keeps the collar open naturally without creating an excessive gap. The placket lies flat under the jacket, without adding bulk. The result: a polo shirt that can be worn all day without feeling out of place.
The effectiveness of layering
Worn under a safari jacket, this polo shirt acts as a mid-layer that protects without getting in the way. Worn under a polo coat, it adds an extra layer of warmth without creating any visible bulk at the shoulders. The result: an October outfit that can adapt to all the day’s temperatures without having to plan for several changes of clothes.
