Men's Light Navy Merino Wool Knit Polo — Fine-Gauge Long Sleeve Sweater | 98 Degree North

Smart-casual's quiet workhorse — a merino knit polo in the softer, more wearable cousin of navy.

This Merino Wool Knit Polo in Light Navy is the piece most men's wardrobes are missing. It's cut like a classic polo — a soft knit collar, a two-button placket, a clean body — but it's knit from a fine-gauge merino wool blend, so it drapes beautifully, sits lightly on the body, and doesn't feel bulky like a traditional sweater. Full-length long sleeves with neat ribbed cuffs and a tidy ribbed hem give it the finished, considered look that separates a real knit polo from a stretched-out jumper.

Merino wool is the quiet magic. It's naturally temperature-regulating — breathable enough for an AC office in June, warm enough for a cool October evening in Delhi — and the fibre is naturally soft, smooth, and non-itchy against the skin. It also resists odour better than cotton or synthetic knits, so it stays fresh through longer wears between washes. The small embroidered 98° North logo sits on the left chest in tonal light navy — present but not loud, a quiet quality marker rather than a logo flex.

The regular fit skims cleanly through the chest and shoulders without going baggy at the waist. Light navy is the easier navy — soft enough to pair with denim without going full tonal, dark enough to still read as polished. Wear it with blue denim and white sneakers for weekends, grey chinos and loafers for smart-casual, or under a camel coat for cold mornings. From casual Fridays in Delhi to dinner plans in Bangalore, this is the piece that quietly carries you through.

Built for men who want one really well-made knit polo that works through more months of the year than cotton can.
