Polo necks that actually STAY roll up and tight!

Is there any such thing? Am so fed up with buying cotton or wool polo necks that sag after a few wears.

Has anyone got any that actually look good still and dont end up hanging around the bottom of your neck like a 3rd chin? Thank you!

Strange never had that problem not dating it doesn't exist but just never experienced it I do have some older Polo/Roll necks.

Do you have a bit of elastin in that might help them retain shape. How are you washing and drying them? Do you do what my DD does and push the hanger in through the neck hole or are you going in from underneath? As I'm sure that would stretch them over time.

Other than that I can't be any more help.

@Sickoffamilydrama tempting, but no I am very good and put the hanger through the proper way Grin Not sure why is happens, I follow the washing instructions, but end up with my neck sticking through the top with the polo neck bit all rolled down

Thank you @Procrastatronwill have a look!

Spray starch, then iron, works well if you can be bothered.

I bought 3 of these a couple of months ago, so far they've remained snug www.landsend.co.uk/Womens_Cotton-modal_Roll_Neck/pp/P_35169.html

The ones I mean are the silk/cotton polo necks .

DrDetriment · 09/01/2021 17:25

Jigsaw do lovely ones and I've just bought one from Wolf and Badger that keeps its shape very well.

Uniqlo - I have a merino one that has stayed perfect shape wise. It’s lovely!

IntermittentParps · 09/01/2021 18:06

Wool ones –Uniqlo skinny fit ribbed ones. Not sure they still have them as I got mine a few years ago. But if they do, they're nice and sturdy-necked. Quite lightweight though, not particularly warm. But they're good for layering or for not such freezing weather.

Landsend - had them for me and dc always stayed looking good.
