polo shirts

Collared knit tops

Polo shirts are short-sleeved casual shirts with a collar and a few buttons at the neck, originally designed for tennis and polo players.

The style bridges casual and business dress—acceptable in offices that prohibit T-shirts but don't require dress shirts: The company dress code allows polo shirts on Fridays.

Often simply called polos.
