Yes, the polo shirt is a cornerstone of modern business casual attire. For a workplace-ready look, select a polo with a polished, structured collar—like a Sweater Polo or a modern Ribbed Quarter Zip Polo—and pair it with tailored chinos or 5-pocket pants.
The best polo shirts for summer are those engineered for breathability. Look for lightweight fabrics like premium cotton and cotton blends, or smooth viscose blends found in many of our ribbed quarter-zip polos and sweater polos. These materials provide superior airflow and a light, comfortable feel.
Understanding how a polo shirt should fit is essential for a modern, tailored look.
Breathable polo shirts are crafted from materials chosen for superior airflow. Classic 100% cotton and cotton blends are timeless, breathable options. Modern ribbed polos often use lightweight viscose blends that drape well and feel cool, while our sweater polos offer a polished look with all-season comfort.
The main difference in piqué vs. jersey polo shirts is the fabric's texture. While piqué is a classic, textured knit and jersey is a flat, t-shirt-like knit, our selection of modern polos offer many more sophisticated options.
While "performance polo" often refers to athletic wear, we believe all our modern polos are performance-ready for life. They are made with innovative cotton blends and smooth, flexible knits that offer comfort, versatility, and wrinkle resistance. They are an effortless solution for a life in motion—from a busy travel day to a polished evening out.
Knowing how to style a polo shirt unlocks its true versatility.
Deciding should polo shirts be tucked in depends on the occasion and the polo's cut.
Knowing how to wash a polo shirt correctly is key to maintaining its fit, color, and shape.
Knowing how to dress up a polo transforms it into a sophisticated evening staple. The solution is in the silhouette. Start with a polished, fitted polo—a Sweater Polo or a Ribbed Zip Polo is ideal. Layer it under a well-tailored blazer or sport coat. Complete the look with dress pants.
