Men's Long Sleeve Riviera Polo Shirt in Taupe
The verdict
Fit
Long sleeves, unspecified fit (likely regular); Riviera cut is traditional and relaxed. Selvedge blue suggests a quality weave; true to size.
Quality
Riviera styling and selvedge designation signal refined construction — typical of Sunspel's mid-tier long-sleeve polos with careful finishing.
Price check
Mid-tier pricing appropriate for Riviera heritage and selvedge quality; fair value for the styling and construction attention.
Best for
Men wanting a sophisticated long-sleeve polo with Riviera/resort heritage for casual or smart-casual occasions.
Care
Machine wash warm; tumble dry low to preserve the selvedge finish and color depth.

What owners report about Sunspel polos
Owners consistently praise the breathable open-mesh knit of the Riviera polo line — reviewers report it dries fast and washes and wears well. The cut is repeatedly described as very slim with a narrow chest, suiting lean builds and bunching against broader ones. One detailed owner review also flagged plastic buttons and a crooked chain stitch as sloppy details at the price.
- Strengths
- Reviewers agree the mesh-knit fabric is unusually breathable and holds up well to regular wash-and-wear use.
- Watch out for
- The very slim, narrow-chested cut is the most common complaint, and one owner called out plastic buttons and stray stitching as cheap-feeling for the price.
- Sizing
- The cut runs notably slim with a narrow chest; reviewers recommend going up one size.
