Our first polo shirt in life was probably the ubiquitous Lacoste tee. This iconic sporty top was invented 100 years ago for polo players who needed short sleeves on the playing field. The collar to soak up sweat while the 3 button snug top enabled comfort and versatility. Today it is the universal top for men dressing casual. Here are the 8 top brands and then some. For our year-round hot climate, a polo shirt is cool and classy.
