Winter Wardrobe Essentials Long Sleeve Tops And Polos

Nothing says winter attire like long sleeves- but what if you want to mix up a long sleeve look using more than just a jumper and coat?

Get your hands on a long sleeve top or polo shirt to give your winter wardrobe an extra element of cold weather style. They're perfect for dressing up or down, so you'll find a host of uses for such a simple style, whether you're going it alone, or layering them up with a jumper.

Check out our picks of a few of our favourite styles below.

We love the rustic influences behind this Scotch & Soda top. It carries a really laid back feel with its double layer, meaning that you can wear each piece together, or separate them to create a few different looks. It's got a slight nautical feel with its narrow horizontal stripes and button neck, so link it up with a pair of chinos and loafers for a relaxed evening look.

If you're looking for something to help you take a classic look and turn it on its head, then this Lyle & Scott polo is just the ticket. Inspired by the brands golfing heritage, this long sleeve polo features an argyle pattern and zip neck fastening to reflect its sporting roots. We reckon this would be perfect for casual wear, so link it up with some classic stone chinos, or your favourite pair of jeans.

The daddy of all polo's, Lacoste have given their classic L.12.12 polo a winter look by adding long sleeves to their tried and tested style. With the infamous Lacoste crocodile adorning the chest, this polo shirt doesn't need in any help in making you look the part. Wear it alone with your favourite jeans and a pair of loafers for a timelessly cool look that will never date.

One of the best options going if you're chasing a top that can be used to be worn alone or with a jumper for layering, this G-Star long sleeve top is bang on trend thanks to its burgundy colour. Easy to wear, link it up with a pair of dark indigo denims, then layer up with a crew neck knit if the weather takes a turn to the chilly side.

Letting you carry over a classic polo look into the smarter side of your wardrobe, this knitted edition from Luke makes for the perfect long sleeve style to dissect your smart and casual looks. It's an iconic Luke style, with the lion logo on the shoulder. A great option for evening wear, this top can work wonders if you're heading out into town on a Saturday night and don't feel like wearing a full button shirt.

We love the vintage wash effect on this long sleeve Superdry polo. Finished in a classic pique polo material, the washed look really shows on the collar and buttons, which carry a tarnished look. This is the perfect laid back top-layer it up with a chunky knit to carry on a rugged look with a pair of washed jeans and boots.
