Nike Sportswear Essential

Soft and very comfortable fit is to size. Color is true even after washing

I’m loving the Nike Sportswear Essential Women’s Oversized Long-Sleeve Polo in all-black. This is actually my second one – I have a brown version with a white collar from a previous season, and they each bring something unique. The fit is slightly different from my first one. While it’s still oversized, it’s a bit less boxy, which I personally like for a sleeker look. I went with a medium again, and while it’s roomy, it isn’t as exaggerated in size as the spring release. If you prefer a true oversized, boxy look, I'd recommend going up a size. But if you’re after a more relaxed, comfortable fit without it being too loose, then true to size is ideal. Nike nailed it with the design. The black colorway with the white Nike check is clean and versatile, making it easy to pair with just about anything. This understated logo design is perfect if you want something that’s both sporty and refined. The fabric is a bit thicker than my previous version, which I suspect was a spring release. It’s definitely not heavy, but it has a bit more structure to it, making it perfect for fall layering. It’s cozy without feeling weighed down, so it’s a great option for cooler days without being too warm. I really appreciate the fabric’s upgrade for cooler weather, and the all-black style with the contrasting logo gives it a timeless vibe. I’d love just a bit more of the oversized fit of my first shirt, but it’s still a solid choice that works well on its own or layered. Overall, this Nike polo is a versatile, stylish staple with a great balance of comfort and functionality!

Doesn't fit like the previous polos with the white collar. A large in the previous version would have been really oversized but now a large in this version covers only half my butt. For reference, I was a M/S in the previous polo version. I tried an XL but it was big in all the wrong places. Cute mauve color though.
