Y2K Gradient Washed Striped Polo Shirt

A short-sleeve polo shirt in white and blue, cut with a relaxed fit and finished with a flat collar and a short button placket at the neckline. It's the kind of polo you'd wear to a warm afternoon in the city or a BBQ. The stripe pattern runs horizontally across the body and sleeves, with the stripes fading from barely-there at the chest into heavier, more defined blue bands towards the hem, giving the whole shirt a gradient washed feel. Small distressed pin holes are scattered across the fabric, a detail that keeps it retro rather than clean-cut preppy.

This is an easy to style shirt that works across a lot of different fits, which makes it genuinely versatile. Wear it tucked into wide-leg trousers with loafers for a more put-together look, or keep it untucked over straight-fit jeans with low white trainers. The unique gradient stripe construction means it reads differently depending on how much of the shirt is on show, so tucked versus untucked actually changes the whole feel. Layer a lightweight zip-up over the top on cooler days, leaving the collar visible.

Designed to add to the outfit, it slots easily into a simple daily errand outfit and just as easily into a more thought out tailored weekend fit. It works with many outfits across loads of aesthetics, not just Y2K.
