The humble polo shirt is getting a serious style upgrade this spring. While the retro cotton versions are still fantastic, a sleek knitted version feels a little bit fancier. It’s like your favorite t-shirt – with just a little more polish. Shop our favorites below.
When I think of a polo, I think of Ralph Lauren. The classic white pique shirt is a classic for a reason! Whether you’re on the golf course or dressing it up, you can’t go wrong with the original Polo polo. I love the crisp white but you can really choose the rainbow, If you want to keep it sporty with cotton, I love Tuckernuck’s kelly green shirt with a puffy sleeve for a little more drama,
There’s a version of the polo shirt I’m seeing everywhere right now. And by everywhere, I mean on all the fashion It girls’s Instagrams. It’s knit, it’s a little more fitted, and it’s very 70s. J,Crew’s ribbed navy-and-white version is a perfect example. I love the contrast white collar! The fit also makes it really easy to style. This Zara shirt and this Gap version share some of the same details like that great contrast collar and an under $50 price tag.
Sometimes, you want a shirt that feels special. That takes you out of ‘uniform’ territory and into a proper outfit. Look no further, we’ve got you covered. Tory Burch’s graphic print jacquard polo has an Upper East Side charm that reminds me of Chanel, but with a black-and-white color palette that is completely modern.The deep plunge of this white Vince shirt is undeniably sexy. And this cherry red COS polo cinches you in at the waist, which is both effortless and polished.
