Knit Polos & High Waists: 1970s Riviera Proportions

Reviving golden-era Riviera charm with textured button-through knit polos and Johnny collars tucked neatly into high-waisted pleated dress trousers. Styled with braided belts and suede Belgian loafers for elongated, sculpted proportions and timeless elegance.

We engineered this resort-inspired lookbook around the enduring appeal of textured knit polos tucked into high-waisted dress trousers. We feature men's navy knit polo shirts, men's rust knit polos, and men's cream ribbed cardigan polos paired with men's olive pleated chinos, men's pleated cream linen trousers, and men's Gurkha pants. Accented by men's braided leather belts and men's suede loafers, our styling accentuates the waistline while maximizing leg length.
