But there's a piece to consider before we switch entirely to warm-weather dressing: the knitted polo shirt.FIND OUT MORE AT ELLE COLLECTIVEThe style is the ultimate transitional piece that can bring visual intrigue to your favourites thanks to its knit make-up (hello, texture) and the copious colours and editions available to buy from designers like Khaite through to high street stores like Zara.
The knitted polo shirt, with it's collar and button up front, is a wear-everywhere item. It works just as well with a pleated skirt and kitten heels for the office as it might a pair of baggy jeans and Birkenstocks (you decide whether to add in socks or not) for Saturday morning mooching.
Names on board on this one include the ruling pop princess class. Taylor Swift (in Khaite), and Tate McCrae (worn with a Balenciaga Rodeo) have both worn a style this week, styling it as they see best fit for them right now. While Swift kept hers neat with a splattering of great jewellery, McCrae carried one of the It-bags to know, the Balenciaga Rodeo, and moved her overall styling angle towards the preppy side of style.
For all these styling tips coming from the stars, there's a place to consider on where the knit polo shirt finds a new home this summer: at the beach. The piece can make for the perfect cover up as the evening draws in and the winds start to cool. Here, it brings a sense of polish to a classic cover up while the bright, bold colours that designers have chosen to render them in speak to classic vacation dressing hues.
It's safe to say that the knitted polo shirt might just be the best investment you make this summer. Just be sure to find one made in cotton-based wools for longevity and wearability in all climes.

New Video of Taylor Swift Singing Turns Heads on Friday
New Video of Taylor Swift Singing Turns Heads on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, have kept a low profile over the past several months. Fans assumed Swift was taking a much-deserved break after performing 149 "Eras Tour" shows across the world. Ever since Super Bowl LIX, Kelce and 14-time Grammy have only been spotted in public a handful of times. While Kelce prepares for this 13th season in the NFL, however, Swift revealed that she was quietly working on getting back ownership of her master recordings from music released between 2006 to 2017. Swift broke five months of social media silence to announce on May 30: "I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening. I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made... now belongs... to me." "And all my music videos. All the concert films. The album art and photography. The unreleased songs. The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life's work," Swift noted. Billboard reported she bought back ownership of her first six albums from Shamrock Capital, the firm that purchased them from Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings in late 2020, for approximately $360 million. Helping celebrate Swift's exciting news on Friday, Jack Antonoff, the singer's longtime friend and music producer, who co-wrote numerous songs featured on "Reputation." With the 2017 album back under Swift's ownership, Antonoff posted a video of Swift (and her cat, Meredith) singing along to "Getaway" on X. He captioned the post, "rep forever guilt free listening!" Because Swift never finished recording "Reputation: Taylor's Version," numerous fans felt guilty listening to the original album. One fan commented, "NEW TAYLOR FOOTAGE, JACK WE LOVE YOU." One Swifite wrote, "THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY 🥹." Another fan posted, "the concept of meredith witnessing swiftie independence day." One X user wrote, "AWWW SHES SO HAPPY." Following Friday's announcement, "Reputation" immediately shot to No. 1 the iTunes music story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on May 31, 2025, where it first appeared.

Taylor Swift Makes Huge Announcement on Friday
Taylor Swift Makes Huge Announcement on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, have kept a low profile this offseason. After 149 "Eras Tour" shows across the world, Swift earned a much-deserved breaks While fans hoped she'd soon announce either "Reputation: Taylor's Version" or the re-recorded version of her self-titled debut, she's remained out of the spotlight. However, on May 30, Swift surprised fans with a huge announcement about her music and career. The 35-year-old pop star now finally owns all her music and master recordings. "All I've ever wanted was the opportunity to work hard enough to be able to buy and purchase my music outright. I'm simply attached, in partnership, with full authorization. It will be forever, starting at midnight @ the moment Capital has transferred everything back over to the hands of me." Back in 2019, Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings purchased Big Machine Label Group, which owned Swift's master recordings. The "Karma" singer then moved to re-record her music in order to regain ownership. In 2020, Shamrock Capital purchased Swift's master recordings. Sources told Billboard that Swift purchased her catalog back to her "for an amount relatively close to what they paid for it -- around $360 million." While she already re-recorded "Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version)," and loves how it sounds, she revealed "Reputation: Taylor's Version)" is not even close to being finished. "I haven't even recovered a quarter of it. The Reputation album was so specific to that time in my life, and I kept hitting a stopping point when I tried to rework it... To be perfectly honest, it's the one album in the first 6 that I thought couldn't be improved upon by redoing it." Both her debut and "Rep:TV" will "re-emerge when the time is right."This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on May 30, 2025, where it first appeared.
