Earthy tones, sharp stripes — a polo that does warm without playing it safe. The 98° North Striped Pique Polo takes three of the season's most wearable shades — rust, cream, and deep chocolate brown — and stacks them into a horizontal colour-block design that draws the eye and breaks the monotony of solid polos. The rust yoke sits across the shoulders, a crisp cream band runs below it, fine engineered pinstripes blend the middle, and a rich brown anchors the body. It's a considered, retro-leaning palette that feels fresh without trying too hard. The fabric is a classic cotton pique knit — that subtle textured weave that breathes through a Mumbai afternoon and holds its shape wash after wash. The two-button placket, tipped collar, and ribbed sleeve cuffs give it the structured finish that separates a real polo from a t-shirt pretending to be one. A small chest pocket adds an easy, practical detail. The regular fit keeps it relaxed through the shoulders without going baggy at the waist — easy to tuck in or wear loose. Pair it with blue denim for the weekend, chinos for smart-casual, or wear it as-is when you want to look put-together without effort. From office Fridays in Delhi
