The Virgin wool and silk polo neck sweater is a knit from Emporio Armani, $395 at retail. Fine-gauge roll/polo neck in a virgin wool and silk blend — sleek layering knit, FW2026.
Genuine winter warmth, not a shoulder-season compromise. It dresses up, and pairs badly with anything that reads like gym kit.
Tagged tailored and contemporary, and down for work, everyday, going out and travel — those are the occasions the builder will actually put it in front of you for.
The rest of the fit
One garment per remaining slot, chosen the way the builder chooses: occasion overlap, formality that holds across the fit, warmth that agrees with itself, and the layering rules that stop a collar ending up under a hood. Head to toe with the Virgin wool and silk polo neck sweater: $3,803 at retail.
