Shopping Sales & Deals Joanna Gaines’ Collared Shirt Is the Between-Season Staple You Should Be Stocking Up on Now — Get the Look from $22 They’re great for unpredictable weather By Kayla Blanton Kayla Blanton Kayla has covered celebrity shopping for various outlets since 2018, and recently added People.com to her list.

People Editorial Guidelines Published on May 23, 2024 04:55PM EDT Photo: James Devaney / GC Images Just because it’s getting hotter outside doesn’t mean you should retire the knits that make you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. Rather, you might just opt for a short-sleeved sweater like the one Joanna Gaines wore. The Fixer Upper star posed for a nostalgic diner-inspired photoshoot for the summer cover of Magnolia Journal wearing a polo collar knit shirt, which is essentially a short-sleeved sweater. The top had ’70s-esque stripes and an equally period-appropriate open, oversized collar. The open collar on a polo knit like hers is functional because it keeps air flowing — perfect for between-season dressing in unpredictable weather. Plus, it has the same softness and security of your favorite cozy sweater, but keeps material at a minimum to accommodate for spring and summer temperatures. A pick like Gaines’ is also a great choice if you want to try the polo trend but aren’t big on the traditional button-up polo style, as recently worn by Jennifer Garner. Be your own cover star with one of these polo tops below, which start at $20.
