The piece

How to choose and wear a polo shirt

A knitted cotton shirt with a collar and a short button placket. Smarter than a tee, more relaxed than a shirt, and a warm-weather staple.

How to choose

  • Piqué or fine knit cotton; knitted polos look dressier than piqué ones.
  • A collar that holds its shape and doesn't curl.
  • Navy, white, black and cream first.

How polo shirt should fit

Sleeves hitting mid-bicep, hem sitting at the belt so it can be worn out.

Common mistakes

  • ✕The collar popped up.
  • ✕A long hem worn untucked.
  • ✕A sporty logo polo with tailoring.

Care: Wash cold, dry flat to keep the collar in shape.

In a capsule: A summer capsule's smart-casual top.
