Just as with how to wear a camp collar shirt, for instance, wearing a polo the right way for summer is both subtle and yet surprisingly easy. That is to say, if you find the right polo. And that’s why, ladies and gentlemen, I’m recommending you pick a newly classic and easygoing, yet stylish, Todd Snyder polo. It’s every bit as comfortable as your favorite T-shirt, yet with the sort of polish (and USA-made construction) that you’d expect from one of the country’s foremost menswear designers. It even comes in a range of neat and engaging colors, all the better to invest in the best and stock up on multiple options. It gets even better from there as you search for tips on how to wear a polo for men, because I’m recommending you team it with a pair of the best men’s lightweight pants, some sleek loafers and more.

Consider this the sort of #OOTD that you can wear to the office or out to a lovely patio dinner on the weekends, because it really is every bit that versatile. It all comes down to the fact that, naturally, you’re starting things off with one of the best polos for men, then building your ensemble from there. A polo is both a step up from a T-shirt and yet a breezy step down from a dress shirt, which can often run hot at times. Hence, the made-in-Los-Angeles Todd Snyder polo you see here.
