La Paz Sequeira Grape / Bege

The La Paz Sequeira Grape / Beige is a striped long-sleeve polo made from 100% cotton in a mid-weight jersey. A contrast collar and three-button placket give it a rugby-influenced look, while the dropped shoulder, ribbed cuffs and straight cropped hem shape a boxy, cropped fit. La Paz describes it as true to size for the intended silhouette. The Sequeira is made in Portugal and works as a substantial jersey layer without the bulk of a sweatshirt.

The collar gives a polo a more defined neckline than a plain tee, without requiring a formal outfit. Pair it with denim or straightforward trousers and let the top provide the main detail. When layering, check that the collar sits cleanly beneath your jacket and that the sleeves do not bunch. This makes the piece easy to use across a day that includes both outdoor time and indoor plans.

Choose the fit you will actually wear. Compare the size with a similar garment that already fits well. Lay that piece flat and check its width, length and the position of the seams. A size letter is only a starting point, especially when moving between brands or different cuts. Try the garment with the layers you intend to wear and move naturally: reach forward, sit down and check that the shape still feels comfortable. Extra room should be a deliberate choice, rather than a substitute for checking the proportions.

Build the outfit around proportion and texture. Keep the surrounding pieces straightforward when you want this design to stand out. Denim, plain trousers and familiar footwear give you an easy starting point. For a more layered combination, consider how the lengths sit together and whether the outer layer leaves enough room. The aim is an outfit that feels useful throughout an ordinary day, from travelling and walking to spending time indoors.

Care supports regular use. Follow the sewn-in care label for washing, drying and ironing, as instructions can differ between fabrics and finishes. Separate colours where needed and avoid treating every garment in the wardrobe with the same programme. Let the piece dry fully before putting it away. Deal with small marks promptly using an appropriate method for the fabric, and store it without forcing it into an awkward shape. Careful everyday handling helps preserve the appearance without adding unnecessary complexity.
