The duotone stripe pattern splits the body into two tonal registers — a quiet graphic move that keeps the cycling-collar silhouette from reading too sporty. In ecru, it stays season-neutral, which partly explains why this unisex polo has held its BODE catalog spot for 46 consecutive months. At $615, it prices like the handcraft-driven construction BODE is known for. Pair with wide-leg trousers or layer it under a relaxed blazer.

Good: 46-month staying power proves real demand · Cycling collar adds sport-informed edge · Ecru colorway works across all seasons

Trade-offs: $615 is steep for any polo · Stocked at only one boutique
