Summer should never mean dull dressing. At Hast, we view the summer wardrobe as a canvas for expression where fabric comes alive. For this Spring-Summer 2026 collection, we have reinvented the knitwear polo shirt.
More than just basics, our new polos are living textures. Designed to capture sunlight rather than endure it, they combine the standards of European knitting with an aesthetic pursuit of depth.
The search for texture: beyond classic cotton
Forget traditional piqué. This season, we have explored the graphic potential of knitwear to bring character to your outfits, even in 30°C heat.
Cotton in all its precision
Here, cotton comes in several micro-structures to suit different styles and occasions:
- The sage: a bold braided weave that brings organic texture.
- The navy: a subtle micro-structure, almost imperceptible from afar, that reveals all its richness up close.
- Tone-on-tone stripes: no loud colour contrast here; the appeal lies in the depth of the knit for architectural elegance.
The cotton-linen blend: your ally in warm weather
For the warmest days, our styles in khaki and ecru rely on an exceptionally effective cotton-linen blend. The secret? A waffle knit that lets air circulate freely, delivering the dry, natural freshness that only linen fibre can provide.
An architecture designed for comfort
A beautiful garment is meaningless if it restricts movement. For this Spring-Summer 2026 collection, we focused on a hybrid balance between structure and softness.
Contrasting knits: the "double-face" innovation
Every polo shirt in the collection is built on thoughtful construction:
- A textured front: for visual structure and stylistic character.
- A jersey back and sleeves: for complete freedom of movement and absolute softness against the skin.
A structured silhouette without stiffness
Thanks to the density of our knitwear, our polos maintain an impeccable drape. They do not crease like a classic shirt, nor do they lose their shape like a basic T-shirt. It is the guarantee of an effortlessly sharp look, from the office to after-work drinks.
How to wear the knitwear polo shirt this season?
The knitwear polo shirt is the quintessential pivot piece. Its versatility makes it the most rewarding investment in your summer wardrobe.
- Office look: wear the navy or sage version under a lightweight linen suit. The texture of the knitwear softens the formal edge while remaining impeccably smart.
- Weekend look: pair the ecru polo shirt with beige chinos or Bermuda shorts. The textures complement each other for effortless quiet luxury.
