Try as you might, avoiding the polo renaissance is just futile. And why would you want to, anyway? Because the best polo shirts for men are the perfect vessel for looking handsome on the double. What else would you expect from a shirt that’s essentially a perfect hybrid of a garment: a top that's comfy as a T-shirt but made respectable by that collar. What’s next? Dress shoes without laces?
