Linen cotton polo pullover MARINE

Linen Cotton Polo Sweater MARINE – Effortless Summer Layering

The MARINE linen polo sweater is a relaxed-fit summer knit handcrafted from a soft blend of 70% cotton and 30% linen. Breathable, lightweight, and easy to wear, it combines the natural coolness of linen with a clean polo collar and high side slits — making it one of the most versatile warm-weather pieces in the Krista Elsta collection.

The polo collar gives MARINE a quietly considered feel — neither casual nor formal, but effortlessly in between. High side slits add ease of movement and a relaxed, contemporary edge. Whether worn tucked into wide-leg trousers or loose over linen shorts, it carries itself with understated confidence.

Why Linen and Cotton for Summer

Linen is one of the most breathable natural fibres available. Derived from the flax plant, it absorbs moisture quickly and releases it just as fast — keeping you cool when temperatures rise. Cotton adds softness and a slight stretch to the hand, making the blend more comfortable against the skin than pure linen alone.

Together, the 70/30 cotton-linen blend creates a yarn that is lightweight, airy, and gentle — ideal for summer days when you want to be covered without feeling weighed down. The fabric develops a natural ease with wear, softening slightly over time while retaining its shape.

How to Style a Linen Polo Sweater

The beige MARINE pairs naturally with cream or off-white linen trousers for a tonal warm-weather look. For contrast, wear it with deep navy or black wide-leg pants. The white version works well with everything — light denim, printed skirts, or tailored shorts. Black MARINE layers easily over swimwear as a beach cover-up or transitions into evenings with simple trousers and sandals.

The polo collar means MARINE also works as a lightweight layer under an open jacket or linen blazer on cooler days — bridging the gap between spring and summer dressing without effort.

Sizing & Fit

MARINE is available in sizes XS to XXL. The relaxed fit means it wears true to size or slightly generous — if you prefer a more fitted look, sizing down works well. See our size chart for full measurements.

Care Instructions

Hand wash in cool water (30°C) or machine wash on a gentle cycle. Lay flat to dry to maintain shape. Linen softens naturally with each wash — this sweater will feel better the more you wear it.

Linen Polo Sweater – Available Colours

MARINE comes in three carefully chosen neutrals — beige, white, and black. The beige is a warm, natural tone that sits closest to raw linen; the white is clean and fresh for summer; the black adds structure and works year-round as a lightweight layering piece. All three are knitted from the same 70% cotton, 30% linen blend and are available in sizes XS to XXL.
