Open Collar Polo vs Button Polo: Which Style Suits Your Wardrobe?

The neckline can completely change the personality of a polo. Open-collar polos feel relaxed and minimal, while a button placket gives a more familiar and slightly structured look.

Open collar: easy and contemporary

An open neckline creates visual space and works naturally with knit textures. It pairs well with straight trousers, denim and shorts, especially when you want a polished outfit without making it formal.

Button polo: versatile and adjustable

A placket lets you control how open or neat the neckline appears. It can move easily between casual and smart-casual outfits and often layers well under jackets or overshirts.

• Choose open collar for a cleaner relaxed statement.
• Choose buttons when you want more styling flexibility.
• Keep necklaces and collar details simple when the knit is patterned.
• Judge neckline together with shoulder and chest fit.
