It manages to feel extremely fresh and modern while recalling both a mid-century American clubhouse aesthetic and an early '90s European vibe.

It's breezy and relaxed while retaining a certain rakish elegance. The Johnny collar polo can be layered under a jacket for a dressed-up look, but it can just as easily be thrown on with some washed chinos or wide-leg shorts. The come in a variety of colors and fabrications, from luxe silk and breathable linen to cotton that has been knitted and crocheted for a soft, textural look and feel.
