Single jersey consists only of knit stitches, so it has a smooth face and a different back. Pique adds tuck stitches, which create a raised texture and make the fabric thicker and more airy. That is why pique holds its shape better at the neck and shoulders, does not cling to the body and hides small flaws better.
Jersey is lighter, stretchier and easier to cut, but more prone to curling and distortion. For a classic-looking polo choose pique, for a soft-draping fashion polo choose jersey.
