Product Insights & Style Tips

Guest in Residence's Smocked Shrunken Striped Polo reinvents the polo with texture-forward attitude: an all-over smocked knit in horizontal stripes and a lettuce-edge hem. The cashmere feel is soft and luxe, elevating a classic polo to something considered and tactile. A spread collar with a partial button front keeps the line crisp, while the hip-length silhouette lands modernly at approximately 18.8 inches from shoulder to hem.

Slim through the torso with short sleeves, this pullover polo skims the body without clinging, easy to pair with denim, a slip skirt, or tailored pants. The smocked knit offers subtle stretch for movement, and the cropped length lends options to tuck or float over a high-rise bottom. It layers nicely under a blazer or cardigan and transitions from day to evening with ease. Care is straightforward: hand wash cold, lay flat to dry in shade, cool iron if needed, or dry clean with any solvent except trichloroethylene.

Guest in Residence continues its signature blend of tactile knits and wearable polish. This polo sits at the intersection of playful texture and refined ease, pairing as readily with denim as with a sleek midi dress or skirt.

Style Check

Aesthetics: 9/10

Delivers a bold, fashion-forward punch through its shrunken polo silhouette, high-contrast stripes, and all-over smocking that reads sculptural rather than sporty. The lettuce-edge hem adds a playful, editorial riff, while the cropped length and spread collar nod to elevated basics. Overall, it commands attention without becoming gimmicky, perfect for a statement edit.

Craftsmanship: 7/10

Smocked texture signals meticulous handwork translated into a knitwear-like polo; cashmere promises softness, a luxe hand, and drape. Finish on the collar and partial placket looks clean, and the lettuce-edge hem suggests deliberate detailing. If the image hints at even, tight gathers and stable knit tension, craftsmanship rises above fast-fashion basics.

Affordability: $$$

Lux fabric and artisanal-smocked texture imply premium construction that justifies the elevated price. The design reads as editorial rather than seasonless basic, which can tilt affordability toward the luxury side. For a guest-in-residence piece with cashmere and standout details, the cost aligns with its distinctive appeal rather than mere trendiness.

Guest In Residence x Moon Boot Reimagines The Après-Ski Mood

Guest In Residence joins forces with Moon Boot, and the collaboration feels like winter made wearable. Sixteen styles trace Moon Boot’s familiar shape through Gigi Hadid’s knitwear perspective, built on warmth, texture, and a touch of humor. Since launching Guest In Residence in 2022, Hadid has aimed to create pieces that last—future heirlooms grounded in comfort. That same thinking defines this capsule. Every silhouette, from high and low Icons to slip-ons, carries Moon Boot’s signature volume but filters it through GIR’s soft-structured logic and saturated tone. The result reads equal parts après-ski and urban pause, easy to imagine on the slopes or city streets.

Inside Gigi Hadid’s Guest in Residence x Madhappy “Future Heirlooms” Knitwear Drop

When Madhappy joins forces with Gigi Hadid’s Guest in Residence, the result is far from just another capsule—it’s a fashion moment with attitude and heart. Dubbed “Future Heirlooms,” the drop reimagines heritage knitwear with a cool, current twist. Think vintage-wash zip hoodies paired with sculptural cargos, rib-knit polos served up alongside elevated joggers. This 18-piece edit feels like it was made for the girl who’s always blending street and sophistication in her closet—and doing it on her terms.

Cashmere Sweaters At Their Best Thanks to Guest in Residence by Gigi Hadid

Guest in Residence, founded by Gigi Hadid, is a cashmere brand with a beautiful, deeply personal story at its heart. Gigi’s inspiration came from the second-hand cashmere sweaters handed down to her by her parents when she moved to New York—pieces that became her cozy, portable keepsakes while traveling the world. To her, a sweater isn’t just clothing; it’s a story, a marker of time and memory. With this in mind, Guest in Residence was born out of a desire to create knitwear that would become future heirlooms—pieces designed to be loved, worn, and passed down for years, not just seasons. Gigi wanted to design something that felt deeply connected to the wearer, something you could cherish and make your own, just like the cherished sweaters from her childhood.
