I love the way a guy looks in jeans and a polo shirt, all preppy and casual. But it can’t be just any polo, it has to be a polo with a modern fit and design, not something with a popped collar and out-of-date or weird print. So if you’re a guy currently looking to update his modest collection of easy-to-wear polos, or a girl who wants to give her guy the gift of great style, this list is for you! After much searching at my favorite men’s online shops, here’s my list of 7 great polo shirts for guys.

This polo is the perfect slip-on-and-go shirt for weekends or for workday mornings when your guy is running late. Add chinos, a blazer, and loafers and he’s ready to go! This polo is a bit longer, which is nice for tucking in or wearing out, and I love the washed navy color.

Is it a polo shirt or a rugby shirt? Well, it’s sort of both! It has the same two-button contrasting placket as a rugby shirt, with the easy knit comfort of a polo. Choose from green and white stripes, navy and red stripes, or grey and red stripes. They all look great with distressed denim!

Obey has long been known for comfortable, long-lasting guy’s clothes, and this super-soft polo is no exception. It’s machine washable (yay!) with a pattern of wide stripes I love. I also really like the Obey logo embroidered on the chest.

This is my boyfriend’s favorite polo shirt, mostly because it’s so comfortable. I love it because of its somewhat retro styling, with the cover-stitched seams and stone-washed colors, tan or blue. Pair with shorts or jeans for a relaxed, but stylish, look!
Stüssy Port Polo

Price: $19.99 at urbanoutfitters.com
Stüssy has been the brand of skater-boys and cubicle slackers for years, and it’s not hard to see why — this polo has a straight-laced preppy appeal with a slight edge to it (note the logo on the chest and the one stand-out stripe). Pair with dark straight-cut jeans and vintage red Chuck Taylors. Love it!

Anything but boring, but still appropriate for the office. Note the placket and the pocket, all hounds-tooth checked, and the button-down collar (very nice). Wear with slate=grey dress pants and impressive black shoes for daytime at the office or night-time at the pub.

If it’s good enough for Daniel Craig as James Bond, why wouldn’t it be stylish enough for your guy? This polo shirt is based on an Italian design from the 1950’s, brought out of the archives for “Casino Royale.” The cut and fabric are so flattering!
Grab a few of these to keep at your place, a few for his, along with a pair of chinos and a pair of jeans, and he’ll never flounder for something to wear! I especially love the Sunspel and Eco-Heather polos; they’re so stylish and simple! Which of these do you like best, and how would you (or your guy) wear it? Please share!
