Wales Bonner Burgundy & Pink 'The Billie Knit' Polo

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Billie Knit Polo by Wales Bonner feels like something you’d thrift in an alternate, more glamorous version of the '70s: burgundy and magenta shades working in tandem, open-knit detailing giving it that artful, lightness-between-the-lines effect. Made from a tactile wool blend, the polo merges collegiate prep with a softly subversive spirit, accentuated by discreet touches of logo embroidery and polished, logo-engraved buttons. The texture is rich—the stripes and semi-sheer panels elevate it above a standard knit, lending a sense of intention to every line and stitch.

The shaping here walks the line between classic and relaxed, thanks to a rib-knit spread collar and cuffs that lend structure without constriction. The three-button placket plays into both retro athletic wear and modern layering, while the tennis-tail hem gives a subtle wink to heritage sport style. Breathable open-knit sections allow airy comfort, so it moves with you season to season, solo or layered beneath oversized tailoring. Slip your phone or small essentials into high-waisted trousers or a slouchy skirt—the knit’s medium weight means it sits neatly under outerwear and feels streamlined, yet subversively bold, on its own.

Wales Bonner consistently brings their artful approach to sportswear classics, and The Billie Knit Polo is no exception—it channels the recent runway obsession with bold, punchy knits while keeping things unmistakably refined. Whether worn with tailored pants, louche denim, or layered over a turtleneck for extra dimension, this piece proves why the label’s take on the polo is more lived-in statement than straight-laced staple.
