Dua Lipa Wore the Sweater Trend That Looks Pricier Than a Simple Crewneck or Cardigan

If you want to make the obvious style choice, don't look to Dua Lipa for outfit inspiration. The Radical Optimism artist has become known in the last few years for her bold sartorial decisions, always looking chic and put together but with an unexpected twist in there to throw people off and showcase her individualism. It's one of my favorite things about her and something that always brings me back to her Instagram feed whenever I'm stumped on what to add to an outfit to make it feel unique as opposed to the same as everyone else's.

During my latest perusal through her page, I spotted photos of the singer sightseeing in Washington, D.C., wearing a very much on-trend butter-yellow trench coat from Gucci's F/W 24 runway collection. But that wasn't all I noticed. Underneath, Lipa opted against a basic crewneck or cardigan and instead chose an often-overlooked knitwear style that I would argue is the most luxe and sophisticated of all: a polo sweater .

Specifically, she wore a navy blue polo from &Daughter, which is made out of lambswool in the UK, where Lipa's from. She paired it with a baseball cap from another UK-based brand, Palace; jeans; a chunky pair of boots from Fidan Novruzova; and a classic Chanel flap bag.

On Dua Lipa: Gucci Treated Leather Coat ($10,700); &Daughter Navy Edith Polo ($480); Jennifer Fisher Triple Baby 10kt Gold-Plated Hoop Earrings ($525); Fidan Novruzova Havva Chunky Heel Trouser Boots ($1070); Palace hat; Chanel bag

If you, like me, own about a dozen too many classic cardigans, crewnecks, and V-neck sweaters, try your hand at something new by shopping Lipa's exact polo or any of the many shoppable alternatives below.
