Why choose knit polos and tees?

Knit polos and tees sit at the crossroads of comfort and refinement. Made from premium cotton and merino blends, these pieces are softer and more breathable than traditional shirting, but carry more structure and polish than your everyday T-shirt. They’re the perfect solution for when you want to look sharp without trying too hard.

When to wear knit polos and tees

These tops are designed to bridge occasions. Pair a knit polo with Chinos for a smart casual office look, or layer a knit tee under a Suit Jacket for an easy, modern approach to tailoring. Off duty, wear them with Jeans or Shorts for relaxed sophistication.

How should a knit polo or tee fit?

The fit should be clean and flattering without clinging too tight. The shoulders should align neatly, sleeves should sit just above the bicep, and the hem should hit around the hips for layering versatility. Barkers’ designs are cut to achieve that timeless balance of ease and structure.

How to care for knit polos and tees

Knit polos and tees deserve the same attention as knitwear. Wash in cold water, reshape while damp, and lay flat to dry. Avoid high heat to maintain the integrity of the fibres—especially merino. With proper care, your polos and tees will hold their shape and stay looking sharp season after season.

Complete the look

Style your knit polos and tees with Casual Pants or Chinos for versatile everyday wear. For cooler days, layer under Merino Knitwear or an Overshirt. Finish with a belt from our Accessories range to bring the look together.
