The Top Men's Performance Polo
The performance polo bridges two worlds: the polished aesthetic of a traditional polo shirt and the technical requirements of active wear. Worn on the golf course, the tennis court, or the casual Friday office, the performance polo is the most dressed-up piece in any athletic wardrobe.
Why It's Trending
- The polo shirt's return across all market levels has been accompanied by a technical upgrade in fabrics
- Golf's growth has driven demand for performance polos that work on the course and in the clubhouse
- The business casual evolution has made performance polos appropriate in professional contexts
- Moisture management and stretch fabrics have made performance polos genuinely more comfortable than cotton
What to Look For
- 1A two or three-button placket with a flat, non-warping collar is the mark of a quality polo
- 2Moisture-wicking fabric should feel lightweight and dry — if it feels heavy when new, it will feel worse sweaty
- 3Sleeve length should hit mid-bicep — too short reads casual, too long reads oversized
- 4Self-collar (knit from the body fabric) looks cleaner than a separate rib-knit collar piece
