When it comes to choosing a quality shirt it’s all about the details. Shirts should have neat stitching that’s in excellent condition and in straight lines. Careful edge stitching should be done and hand sewn cuffs should be used whenever possible. Style also comes into play here – you likely aren’t going to wear a super heavy material like twill during the summer. Below we break down all of our top picks giving you tons of details on each one, including what we liked and didn’t like. Each of these shirts are crafted in the USA and they offer something a little special.
To move up the formality ladder another rung, keep the polo but swap the chinos/jeans for actual trousers. Tuck your shirt in for greater professionalism, and pair with a nice belt and leather loafers. You generally want to stick with a solid colored shirt rather than one that’s patterned or striped. I confess I’m not crazy about this look; the casualness of the polo on top conflicts with the formality of the trousers on the bottom. But it certainly seems to be the go-to casual Friday get-up for lawyers and other professionals around here.
We love all the different size options these shirts come in. By carefully choosing between tailored, regular, and classic fit, your collar size, and your sleeve Polo Ralph Lauren t shirt size, you can get an exact fit that will conform to your body type well.

Look around and you’ll notice that everyone and everything is more casual. So how do you look put together without looking, you know, too put together? The key is dressing up the casual pieces you know and love and mixing them in with dressier classics. Shop with intention and look for colors and textures that make basic items appear more interesting.
Our lightweight polo shirt is perfect for dressing up any sweater and outfit. A polo with a longer placket/more buttons looks especially nice under a jacket, as it harkens more to the dress shirt. To go up another level of formality, swap a cotton polo for a retro-styled wool knit one. These sweater shirts often come with contrasting colors on the collar/arm bands, as well as a banded bottom (don’t wear them with low-rise pants, lest your top turn into a midriff). It’s not a look for every guy, but can be handsome on some. Polos are available in a variety of materials from natural to synthetic.

The built-in pocket square of this Lauren Ralph Lauren sport coat effortlessly catches the eye while ultra-flex fabric delivers total freedom of movement.
