Made from 96% cotton and 4% elastane to provide a drop of comfortable stretch, this pick features moisture-wicking properties and a classic, three-button placket. It comes in four great colors, though we’re partial to the dark brown!
You can always rely on L.L. Bean for quality, and this polo is no exception. It’s made from 100% cotton and comes in over ten colors. To top it all off, there’s no annoying tag to tickle your neck, and it costs less than $40. What more could you want?
Its unique, ultra-soft texture is all thanks to the 145 GSM cotton jersey fabric, and it has a timeless look with a slight vintage twist. There are ten classic colors to choose from, and for $75, we think this polo is well worth the price of admission
Banana Republic is far from the mall-brand clothing supplier you once knew. They’ve gone back to the roots of the brand and keep releasing absolute bangers onto the men’s fashion market. Take this shirt for instance. It’s outfitted with Banana Republic’s signature all-cotton Luxury-Touch fabric, which is soft to the touch and features a subtle knitted texture.
The polo shirt is well-steeped in the history of prep and ivy style, so it’s refreshing to see some pieces lean into that. J. Crew’s Classic Pique Polo Shirt features color-contrasting tips along the collar and sleeves, as well as a tennis tail that hangs slightly longer in the back. These details give this one a slightly sportier look.
We love the color and texture options on this pick from Marine Layer. Their Liam Sweater Polo is made from a unique cotton, nylon, and wool hybrid fabric, maximizing comfort and a bit of added warmth. Don’t worry though, this one’s still plenty breathable, so you’ll hardly break a single sweat while serving up great style.
For an ultra-casual, laid-back look, consider this crochet-textured polo as a top-tier choice. Made from 70% cotton and 30% silk, you can expect this shirt to be incredibly soft and tremendously comfortable.
Brooks Brothers is an enduring icon of American menswear, so don’t be surprised that their polo shirt offerings can keep up with the best of them. Their Cotton Cable-Knit Short-Sleeve Polo Sweater is richly textured and highly stylish. Of course, you can expect a 100% cotton construction and a ribbed hem to give this shirt tons of smart shaping.
The best knit polos have a distinguishable retro quality to them, and sometimes, that vintage style is the look you really want to go for. Interestingly enough, the best retro option on this list is also the most flexible, thanks to British brand Scott Fraser Collection.
Thanks to its 81% linen and 19% cotton blend, you get all the breathability you could want with less of the common linen wrinkling – making sure this shirt stays sleek and sharp around the clock. Its subtle ribbed trip provides a fine amount of detailed shaping, and the fabric is silky-soft, promising to be one of the most comfortable shirts you’ll ever own.
