The polo cost is a dressy casual. It suits Email and tall giris and can be worn with the de belt or wrapped round with a 1930 air. The shoulder is seamed across to give a dropped effect and the 7/8 sleeves can be turned back into cufts.

black novelty tweed. Another point in its favour is that it is made in 5'2" sizes and looks good that way. Chanel-like trims of black wool brald at the collar and cuffs are smart. ́ Another very elegant note the sleeves are deeply Dolman cut, but a scam deeply curved below that makes the sleeve appear even lower.
