When the weather heats up, your wardrobe doesn’t need to sacrifice style for comfort. At Collars & Co., we believe in dressing with intention—even when the temperatures rise. Enter: summer knits. These pieces offer all the polish of your cold-weather favorites, reimagined in breathable fabrics and effortless silhouettes that were made for long weekends, oceanside evenings, and rooftop happy hours.
Whether you’re heading from city streets to coastal escapes or just upgrading your warm-weather rotation, our summer knits prove that lightweight doesn’t have to mean laid-back.
East Hampton Waffle Knit Polos
Breezy, polished, and still turning heads from Montauk to Main Street.
Crafted with a breathable waffle texture and a fit that strikes the right balance between tailored and relaxed, the East Hampton Waffle Knit Polo is your go-to for post-swim strolls, lunch in town, or casually commanding attention without trying too hard. The textured feel adds dimension, while the coastal-inspired colors keep things fresh and refined.
Pairs well with: Linen shorts, leather loafers, and a Negroni in hand.
Toscano Cotton & Linen Polos
Effortlessly refined—like every Italian summer should be.
The Toscano Polo is our take on easy luxury. Combining the natural softness of cotton with the breathability of linen, it’s designed for sun-drenched days and aperitivo-fueled nights. A crisp collar and tailored fit elevate this style, while the lightweight blend keeps things cool when it counts.
Wear it: Buttoned up with chinos for dinner or loose with drawstring shorts on vacation mode.
Maranello Vintage Stripe Polo
Clean lines. Confident energy. Designed to adapt.
The Maranello Polo makes an impression without raising its voice. Featuring subtle tone-on-tone vertical stripes and a tailored fit, it brings structure and softness in equal measure. Dress it up with loafers and trousers, or keep it casual with denim—it moves seamlessly from day to evening.
Where it fits: Dinner reservations. Afternoon strolls. Moments that call for understated excellence.
Cloud Textured Pullovers
The layering piece that doesn’t weigh you down.
Our signature Cloud Quarter Zips are back—and now available in seasonal tones perfect for summer layering. Made with a silky, lightweight knit and a subtle texture, this piece is built for breezy evenings, early tee times, or that post-pool transition from towel to terrace.
Why we love it: It adds just enough warmth without the bulk and always looks put together, no matter what’s underneath.
Why Summer Knits Work
Unlike heavier knits reserved for fall layering, summer knits bring the texture and form you want—with the airflow and comfort you need. These aren’t the stuffy sweaters of seasons past. These are performance-minded, style-forward staples made to move with you through every summer scenario. Think rooftop to restaurant. Golf course to garden party. Hamptons house to Manhattan brunch.
