polo collar

Shirt's folded edge

A polo collar is a soft, folded collar attached to a knit shirt, typically with a two- or three-button placket.

The style originated in polo shirts worn by players of the sport and became casual sportswear: a navy polo collar peeking out from under his sweater.

Distinguished from dress shirt collars by its softer construction and lack of stiffening.
