Over the past few months, Abercrombie & Fitch has been on a roll with their polos, releasing everything from fuzzy long sleeves to sexy, barely-there crocheted styles. And just when we thought they couldn’t top themselves, they’ve unveiled the Abercrombie & Fitch Plisse Johnny Collar Sweater Polo.
At first glance, the Abercrombie & Fitch Plisse Johnny Collar Sweater Polo and Homme Plissé Issey Miyake fully-pleated plissé polo shirt share a similar silhouette: a relaxed fit with a Johnny collar and short sleeves. However, upon closer inspection, their distinct approaches to plissé become apparent. The Abercrombie polo features subtle plissé stitching details throughout, creating a textured visual interest without overwhelming the garment. The Miyake polo, on the other hand, is fully pleated, with fine, accordion-like pleats that cover the entire shirt. This creates a more dramatic and avant-garde look, reminiscent of Issey Miyake’s signature plissé technique.
In terms of material, the Abercrombie polo is crafted from a luxe sweater-knit fabric, offering a cozy and substantial feel. The Miyake polo utilizes a lighter-weight plissé fabric, which drapes fluidly and moves with the body. This difference in material weight is reflected in the price point, with the Abercrombie polo coming in at a more affordable $60, while the Miyake polo can range from $300 to $600.
The Abercrombie & Fitch Plisse Johnny Collar Sweater Polo is all about sex appeal, with a button-less placket and short sleeves that show off your hard-earned New Year’s resolution results. And with five different colors to choose from, you could practically walk away with the whole set for less than the price of a single Homme Plissé Issey Miyake polo. Overall, we think the Abercrombie & Fitch offering is a great value for the price. It’s stylish, comfortable, and versatile, making it a perfect addition to any wardrobe.
So, is the Abercrombie & Fitch Plisse Johnny Collar Sweater Polo worth the hype? We think so.
