Given her fashionable status, the most hardworking item in Victoria Beckham’s wardrobe may surprise you: the humble polo-neck jumper. As the pouty pop star Posh Spice, VB gave plenty of airtime to turtlenecks throughout the ’90s and ’00s. Who could forget her official engagement portrait in 1998, for which she wore a ribbed polo-neck top and mini skirt to cement her status as one half of Posh and Becks?
Now, at the helm of her own fashion label, it comes as no surprise that VB has designed various polos for her seasonal collections. This autumn in particular, Victoria’s Insta feed has been a hub of knitwear activity, as she uses her grid to promote upcoming brand releases.

Her enthusiasm toward cosy fits hasn’t gone unnoticed by her husband David Beckham, who has also become partial to a roll-neck knit. Is another couple’s moment on the cards? We hope so.
Here, 17 pictures in which Victoria proved to be the poster girl for the polo neck.
