Ok, so winter may be on its way and it’s a fact we are all well aware of. Talk of summer holiday destinations no longer dominates office lunch breaks, coats and jackets in all shapes and sizes have started to hit stores and worst of all Harrods have already started to sell Christmas gifts.

But before we enter a state of despair as the days start to get shorter and our car wind screens start to get icier, relax in the fact that top designers have thought ahead this season. Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent and Michael Kors are among the top designers who are trying to protect us from catching a cold this winter by bringing back the polo neck top.

To avoid looking geeky, stiff necked or pretentious in this new trend, be sure to team your polo of choice with a casual open neck top or sharp suit jacket, (taking inspiration from Mr Ronson above).

If however you’re not brave enough to embrace the high necked trend, there’s still nothing wrong with the traditional knitted woolly scarf to keep winter chills away….
