Loewe’s blue-and-red striped polo shirt, first spotted on Rihanna and Hailey Bieber last spring, may have brought the sporty-chic look back into the zeitgeist, but thanks to a handful of labels as varied as Aimé Leon Dore, Wales Bonner, and Gucci, the preppy top has only continued to evolve.

On the spring 2024 runways, Dries van Noten paired oversized striped rugby shirts with sheer sequin skirts, while Miu Miu reimagined the polo by casually tucking it into swimsuit bottoms and styling it with lovingly worn-in boat shoes. Of course, to elder millennials, the striped polo is like a fever dream, conjuring images of certain boy band members and those who opted to dress like them in the early 2000s.

Dreamed up in cropped and oversized; in minimal black and white, nautical blues, and prep-infused greens, striped polos work just as well under leather bomber jackets and light-wash jeans, as with mini skirts and socks and loafers. They come as wool or cashmere sweaters or traditional cotton iterations for relaxed spring dressing. These shirts are versatile, feel brand new again, and are ideal for approaching warmer days.
