Men's Polo Shirts

For hot weather and active days, favor pique or mesh for airflow while jersey works for relaxed outings. Piqué knit gives high durability and breathability, and performance synthetics wick moisture and dry quickly. Mesh polos are especially good for intense workouts.

Opt for classic or modern fits that are cut slightly shorter in the torso and meant to be worn untucked. Models like the James Polo by Peter Manning are tailored for shorter guys with a classic pique fit, so check hem length and shoulder fit when sizing.

Go with sport, performance, or mesh polos for golf and workouts since they offer moisture-wicking, quick-dry performance and moderate stretch. Piqué polos can also work for golf when you want extra durability and airflow.

Piqué knit provides higher durability and airflow compared to classic cotton, while poly-cotton blends resist fading and hold color longer. The lightweight Pocket Polo uses cotton for a t-shirt-like collar and pocket but generally offers medium durability versus a heavier piqué.

A long-sleeve polo makes sense when you need extra warmth or plan to layer, especially in wool or thicker pique fabrics with buttoning cuffs. They work well under blazers for smart-casual looks and provide more coverage than a short-sleeve cotton jersey.
