Product Overview
The SOL'S Ladies Pasadena Tipped Cotton Piqué Polo Shirt is a refined interpretation of the traditional workwear polo, specifically engineered for the modern professional. Moving away from generic, boxy silhouettes, this garment features a dedicated ladies' fit that provides a smart, tailored appearance. The standout design element is the contrast double stripe tipping on the ribbed collar and cuffs, which adds a sophisticated, sporty edge to a standard uniform. Crafted from high-quality piqué fabric, it offers both the tactile texture expected of a premium polo and the resilience required for daily commercial use.
Key Features
- Tailored Ladies Fit: Designed to follow the natural contours of the body, providing a professional silhouette that avoids the bulkiness of unisex alternatives.
- Ribbed Collar and Cuffs: Featuring contrast double stripe tipping, these elements provide structural integrity to the garment's openings while adding a distinctive visual detail.
- Reinforced Taped Neck: An internal tape is applied to the neck seam to prevent stretching and irritation, ensuring the polo maintains its shape through frequent wear.
- Three-Button Placket: The placket is finished with three self-coloured buttons, offering a clean and cohesive look that adheres to corporate dress codes.
- Side Vents and Twin Needle Hem: Side vents at the hem improve the drape of the shirt over the hips and increase mobility, while the twin needle stitching provides a robust finish to the garment's base.
Design & Performance
This polo is manufactured from 100% ringspun cotton piqué, a medium-weight fabric known for its balance of softness and strength. The ringspun process ensures that the cotton fibres are tightly twisted, resulting in a smoother surface and increased durability compared to standard cotton. The piqué weave creates a subtle geometric pattern that not only looks professional but also enhances breathability by allowing air to circulate more freely through the fabric.
Ethical production is at the core of this garment's design. It carries multiple certifications, including OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for textile safety, PETA-Approved Vegan status, and is produced under the Fair Wear Foundation's standards. These credentials ensure that the garment is as responsible as it is reliable, meeting the highest standards for both human health and environmental impact.
Why No Customisation?
This item is currently offered as a non-customised product to ensure we can maintain immediate stock availability and provide the fastest possible delivery times. For many businesses, the contrast tipping on the Pasadena already provides a sufficient level of branding and professional detail, making it an ideal choice for those who require a high-quality, unbranded uniform solution that is ready for immediate deployment.
Use Cases
The Pasadena is an excellent choice for equestrian environments, where its sporty aesthetic and breathable cotton fabric are highly valued. It is also perfectly suited for front-of-house hospitality roles, retail environments, and corporate events where a "smart-casual" appearance is essential. Its robust construction ensures it can handle the physical demands of active work while keeping the wearer looking polished.

Practical Advice
Please note that this specific model is designed with a more fitted cut and may run smaller than other brands in our range. We recommend checking the sizing carefully and perhaps selecting a size larger if you prefer a more generous fit. Because it is 100% cotton, it is an ideal layering piece that sits comfortably under a softshell jacket or corporate blazer without adding unnecessary bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity of the piqué weave and the sharpness of the contrast tipping, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at higher temperatures can stress the natural cotton fibres, leading to premature thinning of the fabric and potential loss of colour intensity.
We advise against the use of bleach, as this will aggressively break down the cotton fibres and damage the contrast detailing. For drying, air drying is the preferred method to prevent the shrinkage often associated with high-heat tumble drying. If ironing is required, use a medium heat setting; this will remove wrinkles effectively without scorching the delicate ringspun yarns.
