June 17, 2025 Classic Summer: Polo Shirts

A classic polo shirt is timeless, and summer is the perfect season to let it shine. With its clean lines, breathable fabric, and sporty appeal, a polo shirt strikes the just-right balance between casual and polished, making it a staple you’ll want in regular rotation.

Polo shirts famously work with a variety of looks. Pair one with tailored shorts and low-profile sneakers for a weekend brunch, or tuck it into wide-leg trousers to take the style up a notch. Want something more laid-back? Throw it over a pair of vintage denim cutoffs and sandals, and you’re ready for anything from a beach day to a casual coffee run.

What we especially love about polo shirts is how easily they fit into a range of personal styles. Whether your aesthetic leans preppy, minimalist, or sporty, there’s a version that works for you. Look for retro stripes, pastel shades, or cropped cuts to add a modern twist to this tried-and-true favorite.

With summer heat up ahead, let’s also talk fabric! Polo shirts are often found in cotton or cotton blends that breathe well and keep you cool. This makes them perfect for sweltering days when you want to look pulled together without sacrificing comfort.
