The Polo Trend Taking Over This Spring...

If there’s one top I can never resist, it’s a chic little polo. There’s something about the classic collar, the subtle button details, and that effortless balance between sporty and sophisticated that makes it a wardrobe essential. And this spring, polo-style tops are everywhere – not just at Miu Miu, where they’ve perfected that cropped, ultra-feminine silhouette, but across so many brands that have embraced the trend in their own way.

Today, I went on a little mission to find my favourite takes on the polo top, and let me tell you – the options are endless. The Row’s minimalist, perfectly tailored versions, Khaite’s sleek and slightly structured designs, Saint Laurent’s modern take on this preppy classic… I love them all. Whether in soft cotton or lightweight knit, cropped or full-length, with long sleeves or short, there’s a polo top for every style and occasion.

And that’s exactly what makes them so irresistible. They pair effortlessly with everything – sharp tailoring, relaxed denim, flowing maxi skirts, wide-leg trousers. They’re chic yet relaxed, polished but playful. A pair of heels makes them instantly elegant, while loafers or sneakers give them that cool, effortless vibe. Plus, the little collar and button details add just the right amount of charm, making even the simplest outfit look thoughtfully put together.

The best part? You don’t have to splurge to get the look. Alongside my high-fashion favourites, I’ve also found some incredible high-street alternatives that make embracing this trend easier than ever. Polo perfection is definitely happening this season – and I’m here for it.

The Classic Polo – Short Sleeves, Timeless Elegance

These short-sleeved polo tops are a timeless classic. Effortlessly chic and versatile, they can easily transition from day to night. Perfect for relaxed yet stylish outfits, they pair beautifully with jeans, skirts, or even tailored trousers. Brands like Miu Miu and Saint Laurent offer sophisticated versions with small, thoughtful details, making them the perfect go-to for a laid-back but elevated look.

The Casual Polo – Long Sleeves for Everyday Wear

Long-sleeved polo blouses are all about comfort with a sporty touch. These pieces are a bit more casual and relaxed, perfect for layering or wearing on their own. They’re not as elegant as their shorter-sleeve counterparts but still offer that signature polo vibe with a more laid-back, everyday appeal. Whether made from cotton or knitted fabrics, they pair wonderfully with wide-leg pants, denim, or skirts for a simple yet stylish ensemble.

The Bold Stripes – Playful & Sporty

When you want to add a fun twist to your outfit, striped polo tops are the way to go. Bold stripes – whether vertical, horizontal, or in contrasting colors – give your look a dynamic, sporty vibe. These tops are perfect for casual outfits, easily paired with denim, shorts, or sneakers. Miu Miu and other brands have embraced this trend, creating polo styles with stripes that are both fun and fashion-forward.
