Burgundy Cable Knit Polo and White Linen Shorts Summer Look

About this look

This handsome Ivy League summer ensemble pairs rich autumnal jewel tones with crisp warm-weather linen tailoring. The centerpiece is a short-sleeve burgundy cable-knit polo shirt woven from combed cotton with a handsome spread collar and horn buttons. Tailored off-white linen-cotton shorts provide crisp contrast with center front creases and a flattering mid-thigh cut. Light tan leather boat shoes complete the look with rawhide laces, contrast white stitching, and non-marking rubber outsoles. A sleek stainless steel wristwatch and a braided leather bracelet add polished accents to the wrists. The rich textural dialogue between sculpted cable knitwear, breathable slubbed linen, and smooth oiled leather feels inherently sophisticated. Outstanding for afternoon vineyard tours, country club lunches, summer anniversary dinners, and harbor walks. Leave the collar unbuttoned to frame the neck naturally and complement the relaxed nautical footwear.
