Men's terry polo

Terry towelling spent decades as the fabric of bathrobes and beach towels. Then the 1950s happened, and everything changed.

Terry towelling spent decades as the fabric of bathrobes and beach towels. Then the 1950s happened, and everything changed. This softly looped cotton was the material of choice for the most relax men on the Côte d'Azur. Vilebrequin, born in Saint-Tropez in 1971, knows a thing or two about that moment. The Maison's men's terry towelling polo shirts bring that spirit firmly into the present: relaxed, tactile, and unmistakably French. Discover a collection that moves effortlessly from the water's edge to the evening terrace.

What makes terry towelling such a distinctive choice for a polo shirt?


Terry cloth is woven from cotton loops that give the fabric its characteristic texture: soft against the skin, naturally absorbent, and pleasingly substantial without feeling heavy. Unlike the smooth surface of a piqué cotton polo, a terry towelling polo has a tactile quality that sets it apart. It is the kind of fabric that feels as good as it looks, which is precisely why it became a summer staple in the first place. Vilebrequin's terry polo shirts are crafted from cotton that retains its shape without creasing, making them as practical as they are elegant.


How do you style a men's terry towelling polo?


The short answer: almost anywhere the sun shines. The longer answer involves a little more thought, and a great deal more pleasure:

Pair with swim shorts for an effortlessly coordinated look straight from the pool or beach;

Wear with linen or cotton Bermuda shorts for a relaxed terrace or harbour-side lunch;

Layer over a plain T-shirt on cooler evenings without sacrificing the holiday spirit.

The beauty of a terry polo lies in its versatility. It sits comfortably between casual and considered, which makes it the ideal companion for long summer days that have no fixed agenda and no particular desire to end.


Which colours and styles are available in the Vilebrequin terry polo collection?


The collection is built around a range of solid colours, from crisp white and deep navy to warmer, sun-drenched tones. Each shade is chosen to complement the Maison's swimwear palette, so putting together a complete holiday look comes naturally. For those who prefer a little more character, a printed option brings the Maison's signature marine motifs to the terry format, and is available as part of a family-matching range for a perfectly coordinated look from father to son.
