Is this warmer or cooler than a cotton pique polo?

Cooler. The pointelle crochet knit is open and airy, so it breathes well but blocks little wind. Treat it as a fall and spring layer, not a winter top.

How does it fit compared with other Polo Ralph Lauren polos?

It is cut as a regular women's fit with a hip-length body. Crochet knits can relax with wear, so try your usual size first and size up only if you want a looser drape.

Can it go in the washing machine?

Yes, the care instructions say machine wash. Use a mesh bag and cold water to protect the open knit, and lay it flat to dry so the crochet stitch keeps its shape.

What do I wear under it?

The open stitch can show skin, so a camisole or bralette in a matching tone works well. It also layers cleanly under a blazer or cardigan.

Is this a good buy at full price?

It is a seasonal fashion knit, so discounts are common late in the season. Check the price comparison and history before paying full price.

Our take on the Polo Ralph Lauren Women's Striped Collar Pointelle Polo Shirt

A women's long-sleeve polo from Polo Ralph Lauren in a crochet-style pointelle knit, with a striped collar and button placket. The open, textured knit gives it a lighter hand than the brand's cotton pique polos, and the hip length suits jeans and wide-leg trousers. It is a fall-to-spring casual piece rather than a warm layer. No current price or price history was provided, so check the live comparison before buying.
