The best sport polos for active men who don’t sweat it

By

Dress it up with a blazer or keep it laid back with a pair of jeans. A sport polo is the jack of all trades for spring and summer looks. With breathable fabrics and a semi-formal style, this top passes for both work environments and outdoor activities. To help you find the perfect fit, we’ve gone over the top-rated shirts here.

The humble sport polo is worn by many professionals from your OG tennis players to corporate staff. Today, polo shirts are popular casual wear among young people for their versatility and comfort. The typical polo offers a three-button closure, though two-button styles are also common.

Most polo T-shirts are made of moisture-wicking fabric like cotton or polyester blends. Brand-specific technologies also help keep you cool whether you are playing sports or not. Let’s check out the winning candidates.

Hanes Sport Men's Polo Shirt

Best Quick-Dry

Hanes’ short-sleeve, polyester polo features the best quick-dry capability, thanks to the company’s COOL DRI technology. The same design feature also protects you from UV rays and makes you feel as though you aren’t wearing a shirt at all. A tag-free neck and three-button placket keep you comfortable all around.

Under Armour Men's Golf Polo

Best Breathability

Under Armour’s sport polo is crafted from breathable polyester and elastane fabric, making for an impressive moisture-wicking shirt. Engineered with anti-odor technology, body odor-causing bacteria have no place on this shirt so you can sweat all day without worry. Wash in your machine when soiled and tumble dry or air dry.

Jerzees Men's Sport Shield Shirt

Best Value

Jerzees’ two-button black polo shirt is the best value choice on our list and is available in more than 20 other colors. A cotton and polyester blend renders this a breathable shirt that won’t shrink in the washing machine. The spot shield fabric resists water and oil stains while the welt knit collar avoids tacky curling.

For days when a T-shirt is too casual, but a button up is too proper, a sport polo is the logical choice. This functional shirt is appropriate on a golf course and is equally fitting for a brunch date. Whichever polo you decide on, the shirts on our list are guaranteed to keep you dry and looking sharp anywhere.

Halloween is in the past; we have made it through the election, and now only Thanksgiving stands between us and the impending cold as winter approaches. Of course, you could fall into a few different camps: the ones excited about winter, the ones dreading winter, or the ones who don't care either way.

If you are in any of the camps, you may want to guard against it with a new collection from one of our favorite brands. The Taylor Stitch Treadwell Collection is the latest winter line guaranteed to keep you warm and happy all season long as we count the days until spring.

You may or may not believe this, but you are one of a kind. People may have told you that throughout your life, that you are special and unique. They may have said it in ways that didn't sound genuine; maybe it sounded like they were offering platitudes to make you feel better. Or, you may be lucky enough to have grown up believing it. Either way, we are going to repeat it, and we're going to be completely honest with you.

No one in this world is anything like you. You are the only version of yourself and entirely different from anyone else. That means you have different tastes and different preferences. You are a combination of experiences that make you truly all your own. That means finding your own personal style is a journey of discovery. Things that work for others, such as trends and fashion statements, may not work for you.
