Style Pick of the Week: Todd Snyder Linen Polo – The Right Mix of Polish and Comfort

Best polo shirts for men.

There’s a pressing question likely on your mind, at least right now: How to wear some of the best men’s style essentials while staying cool in the heat? It can be a difficult task, especially if the occasion calls for men’s style that’s a bit more polished and crisp than casual. Say, instead of a backyard BBQ, where an American-made T-shirt might suffice, you’re looking at refined rooftop drinks.

And in that instance, reach for one of the best polos for men — a polo designed to keep you cool while looking great. My friends, that polo hails from Todd Snyder, and it’s a new summer wardrobe essential for men.

The Todd Snyder Linen Polo (available in three crisp, neutral colors, including Coconut and Blacktop) seems simple enough on the surface, with a dressy four-button placket and Snyder’s customary tailored but not overly tight fit.

And yet, it’s the fabric of the Todd Snyder Linen Polo that really makes the difference in terms of comfort, as that 100 percent linen build is highly breathable, soft and breezy.

And here’s the catch (not that there is one, necessarily), but the Todd Snyder team notes that although “it might seem a little decadent to have a polo in linen…once you’ve worn one through the dog days of summer, you’ll be a convert.”

That sounds like worthwhile, stylish and dressy advice to me, the sort that can come in handy when worn in ways more dressed-up (like with Todd Snyder chinos) or laidback (like with cotton-blend shorts and canvas sneakers). A new way to beat the heat in style just dropped, and it’s high time you added it to your menswear wardrobe.

Best summer polos for men.

It seems that lately here on the blog, the best polos for men have been a prime topic of conversation. In my experience, that’s as it should be: When done the right way, as with the Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Polo at the top of the page, the style is a timeless classic.

We’re talking a stylish polo for men that’s more elevated than a T-shirt, more breezy than even one of the best Oxford shirts, and wearable with everything from the best linen pants to chino shorts (at least, in my experience). And the Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Polo fits the bill quite nicely, seeing as it’s made from a brand obsessed with putting a modern, well-fitting and distinctive spin on throwback staples.

It helps that this polo shirt is also updated with eco-friendly organic cotton, and the laundry list of features carries on from there. The Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Polo is also available in a Bleached Natural Stripe option, plus a deep Indigo Stripe, but the Washed Indigo iteration is my personal favorite.

That color gives it wearability with everything from dark tan chinos to light grey linen trousers and even navy dress pants (don’t forget sleek leather loafers).

And as with other Taylor Stitch men’s shirts, the Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Polo comes in the brand’s excellent chest sizing options — a tailored fit that’s not too tight, and is often flattering (especially on my 6’2″ frame, the 44″ chest size works particularly well).

The two-button placket is more relaxed than somewhat dressier polos, but with the Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Polo, it’s as if the brand has simply upgraded your favorite T-shirt in a more polished way. When casual-yet-elevated style scenarios come calling, reach for the breezy, well-made Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Polo — it’s a new daily summer staple, my friends.

Natural indigo jersey fabric also delivers a soft feel and finish.

The Thursday Buy: This Flint and Tinder Sweater Polo is a Retro Style Classic Made Modern

Best sweater polos for men.

Most of the time, I find that the best menswear essentials draw something from both the past and the present, giving them a feel that’s both classic and yet current. That’s the case for pieces like one of the best Oxford shirts or a pair of the best blue jeans, for instance — both of which can be found at Huckberry, the key target of today’s style (and stylish) post.

Take the Flint and Tinder Cotton Linen Sweater Polo shown above. First and foremost, it’s a hybrid style: The classic short-sleeve build and three-button placket of your favorite polo, merged with the heavier fabric and cut of a stylish sweater. And as luck would have it, the best sweater polos draw a little something from both the past and the present.

The style on which the Flint and Tinder Cotton Linen Sweater Polo is based was popular in the 1950s and ’60s — the Mad Men era of style, you might call it — but it’s just as fresh, current and crisp today. And it’s a new entry into the Flint and Tinder lineup, the in-house brand at Huckberry that makes some of the most rugged gear for guys — including one of the best American-made T-shirts on the market.

That being said, this handsome sweater polo is a more refined style move for when you want to go a bit more classy and cleaned-up — be that at the office with stretch chinos, heading to an easygoing weekend BBQ or perhaps enjoying a rooftop cocktail date night.

The Flint and Tinder Cotton Linen Sweater Polo boasts a breathable weave and a touch of stretch at points needed for mobility, like the cuffs and bottom hem. It’s also garment-washed for added softness out of the box, and the design of this elegant sweater-polo allows you to unbutton multiple buttons or even rock the polo itself buttoned all the way to the top (what would Don Draper do?).

It’s a change of pace from your rotation of the best polos for men, but not in a bad way — merely in a way that’s both retro and current, throwback and fresh. Consider it an ideal spring style move from your friends at Huckberry.

The Thursday Buy: The Billy Reid Pensacola Polo is a Spring Style Classic

Billy Reid Pensacola Polo review.

The best menswear brands have a way of taking the seemingly simple and turning it into something even better, even if it’s an already well-established style classic. In this case, that would be the ever-versatile, slightly preppy men’s polo.

Once a staple of tennis courts and still a pillar of sporty style, the silhouette takes on a bit of a laidback-yet-polished air in the hands of one of the country’s best menswear designers, the one and only Billy Reid.

Billy Reid Pensacola Polo.

It seems like we were just talking about a way to get a great deal on winter style picks via the Billy Reid End of Season Sale, but consider this a breezy way to move into a new season. In this case, the Billy Reid Pensacola Polo, a staple of the Alabama-based designer’s menswear line, takes on a new and improved look and feel for a new season.

Garment-dyed organic cotton delivers a soft, smooth handfeel for comfort right out of the box, while the fabric itself stays soft and breathable on spring and summer days.

Plus, the Billy Reid Pensacola Polo comes in a range of fresh, new and stylish colors for the season, including a bright Tropical Blue that would wear especially well with natural-hued jeans or stretch tan chinos. Other details, like a contrasting herringbone twill placket elevate the polo even further, blending the refinement of a sporty, four-button polo with the soft appeal of a breezy T-shirt.

Signature details like Billy Reid’s signature herringbone twill stripe finish off the bottom hem with a subtly stylish touch. And the Billy Reid Pensacola Polo should also offer a trim, flattering fit — all the better for wearing on its own with chino shorts and linen trousers.

Best of all, your new favorite polo is well-reviewed and surely a Billy Reid fan favorite. The next time the occasion calls for the comfort of an easygoing T-shirt with the polish of a polo shirt, meet the moment with Billy Reid.

You see, the Taylor Stitch Jacquard Polo takes what you thought you knew about the polo and flips it on its head in a way that only Taylor Stitch can. They’ve done the same thing with the rugged Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater, for instance, and they’re delivering again with the impressive Taylor Stitch Jacquard Polo.

Best men's polos for spring.

What’s the key with the seriously cool Taylor Stitch Jacquard Polo? It starts with the organic cotton fabric, nicely complemented by that organic cotton rib texture for some visual interest beyond a plain cotton polo (although there’s a time and a place for that, too!).

The tailored fit — in chest sizes, as with other Taylor Stitch menswear — is a nice style detail, while side vents offer a classic polo touch. The best part about the Taylor Stitch Jacquard Polo might be color options like Storm and Ash Heather, both a nice departure from navy or black polos. When you want a slightly classed-up alternative to a T-shirt, but an option that works just as well with tailored chinos as it does light wash jeans, reach for the Taylor Stitch Jacquard Polo — you know Taylor Stitch won’t let you down.

The Thursday Buy: Switch Up Your Winter Style with Buck Mason’s Rugby Polo

Best long-sleeve polos for men

Dressing well in winter can sometimes feel like a bit of a taxing chore at times: It’s cold, there’s only so much you can do to layer up while still breathing easy, and it can get just a bit repetitive. But like clockwork, that’s where Buck Mason enters the fray, taking classic winter style essentials and upending them ever so slightly, whether it’s a rugged shawl jacket or an even cozier shawl cardigan for men. The brand isn’t resting on its laurels though, this time taking the traditional polo and turning it into a new winter must-have via the Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Polo.

Shop New Arrivals from Billy Reid

Buck Mason shirts — from one-pocket Oxford shirts to toasty flannel pieces — are already a tried-and-true closet staple (at least for this Brooklyn writer), and the Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Polo is an even cooler departure from the norm. Rugby shirts have been a prep style staple for years, and companies like Rowing Blazers have brought them back into the fold.

So it goes with the Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Polo, which subverts the warm-weather nature of the polo and turns it into a distinctive layer you can now wear to the office or to a polished winter gathering.

The Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Polo, available in colors like crisp blue Jet, classic Black and sharp White, hits the right notes for a preppy staple made modern. The classic fit should prove flattering on several body types, while the three-button placket on the Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Polo frames the face nicely. And lest you should think the Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Polo will prove too lightweight, it’s made from cotton jersey fabric in the same vein as thick rugby polo cloth.

When it’s especially chilly, consider the Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Polo as your base layer, topped off by, say, a Buck Mason sweater and a trusty Buck Mason waxed coat. Note that the Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Polo has been garment-washed for added texture and visual interest, and it’s a ready substitute in place of an Oxford shirt beneath a blazer.

The split hem falls in line with classic polo design details, and the price on the Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Polo ($88) is similar to other stylish Buck Mason shirts. However, the Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Polo shakes up the design just enough to make it a fun change of pace this winter, all for under $100. Sounds like a can’t-miss menswear purchase in the new year.
