The Tuesday Steal: This Billy Reid Pensacola Long-Sleeve Polo Is a Leisurely Spring Menswear Upgrade

For every time you feel like splurging a little bit on, say, one of the best men’s jackets for spring, there are times when it’s wise to keep your pocketbook in check and instead seek out menswear essentials that still feel like a bit of a splurge, yet offer you stylish looks at a fair price. And while award-winning menswear designer Billy Reid is a luxurious step up from more affordable everyday menswear brands, there are discounts aplenty if you know where to look — as in the Billy Reid Sale section, of course.

The designer doesn’t normally run sales, but lately, there have been some stylish menswear gems tucked away in the Billy Reid Sale section, like the fashionable yet functional Billy Reid Pensacola Long-Sleeve Polo as shown above. It’s your lucky day, as we like to say, because this polo is up for grabs in time to serve as both a polished daily staple and a reasonable choice when it’s just a bit too breezy this spring to go with a full-on, traditional short-sleeve polo.

Look closely, and I think you’ll find the Billy Reid Pensacola Long-Sleeve Polo is as wearable on its own as it is beneath a soft-shouldered, lightweight spring blazer (which Billy Reid also sells!), fashioned from soft organic Pima cotton that’s also been garment-dyed to give it some character out of the box.

It’s also helpfully now marked down below $90, with the good looks and expert design detailing to make it worth dropping a bit more money on a stylish men’s polo for spring and summer. Note the designer’s careful touches, like a woven undercollar and the brand’s signature ribbon stripe detailing inside its traditional polo vents.

The Billy Reid Pensacola Long-Sleeve Polo also includes careful stitch detailing at the chest pocket in a callback to its ribbon stripe — in addition to the buttery-soft fabric, you’re certainly getting plenty of thoughtful touches that make the Billy Reid Pensacola Long-Sleeve Polo worth the money, and then some.

Color options like Navy, Washed Grey and Tinted White serve up classic, versatile looks aplenty, with the chance to pair with dark tan chinos or breezy khaki-hued linen shorts, to name but a few easygoing style combinations. If I had to bet, I’d say this fashionable men’s long-sleeve polo certainly pulls its weight as far as on-sale style steals are concerned.
