When you think of a polo shirt, chances are you picture that classic short sleeve with a soft collar and a few buttons at the neck. It’s one of those rare wardrobe pieces that works for everyone... timeless, versatile and always in style.
At Neem London we’ve taken the classic polo and made it better for you, future generations and for the planet.
Why Choose Neem?
Typical high street brands often mass produce garments with little thought for quality, sustainability or how long they’ll actually last. Our polos are built differently. They’re made to be worn again and again, not just for a season. And when you invest in one, you’re choosing something biodegradable, renewable and responsibly made, that can be passed down rather than a throwaway item that ends up in landfill.
In every stage of production from sourcing fibres to finishing garments carbon emissions are created. At Neem we aim to carefully manage this by cutting down on unnecessary waste and pollution. We start by running life cycle assessments on our products so that any emissions created from production can then offset by investing in three charities…
At Neem, we design with a low carbon approach from the start, choosing responsible materials and transparent processes so you know exactly what you’re buying into.

Merino Wool: Better Fabric, Better Feel
Our polos are made from ZQ Merino wool, which is not only incredibly soft but also fully traceable from farm to the finished product. This isn’t your standard cotton polo. ZQ Merino wool is responsibly sourced, renewable and meets some of the highest standards for animal welfare (by use of a non-mulesing procedure) and environmental care.
ZQ Merino wool properties keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter by regulating body temperature. It wicks away moisture, is naturally breathable, and makes for a fabric that’s healthy not just for the planet, but for your skin.
Our polo shirts combine the luxurious softness of Merino wool with durable construction, making them a long-lasting addition to your wardrobe. Available in a variety of colours and patterns, from Neem green to light pink and even subtle stripes, our polos provide the perfect balance between style and sustainability.

The Evolution of the Polo Shirt: From Function to Fashion
The polo shirt began in the late 19th century as a practical piece for polo players in India with buttoned collars to keep them in place during the game. In the 1920s, René Lacoste redesigned it for tennis, making it lightweight, breathable and easier to move in. By the 1960s, Ralph Lauren turned it into an icon of effortless, preppy style.
Today, it’s a menswear essential, combining the ease of a t-shirt with the sharpness of a collar.
