A pique fabric is a knit or woven fabric with patterns of fine ribbing or cording created with a dobby loom attachment. Pique fabrics are medium weight and usually made with cotton fibers.

Knit pique fabric is commonly used in summer-weight polo shirts. The weave provides additional ventilation in hot weather and holds up well after frequent washing. Knit piques more often feature ribbing or waffle weaves.

A pique polo is usually medium weight, and pique is a thicker, more durable fabric, which shows sweat less. However, it is also more prone to wrinkling. A jersey polo has a lighter feel, making it appropriate for warm locations or those who simply prefer a more lightweight fabric. The elasticity in jersey polos makes them a better choice for active individuals.
