Polo shirts are getting cool again. If you’ve written off the perennial style due to their image as boring, matchy tennis uniforms and/or 2006’s insufferable popped Lacoste and Abercrombie collars, it might be time to give them another chance. Today, designers like Scott Sternberg and Stella McCartney are adapting the preppy staple and evolving it into something hip, understated and new, but also vaguely ‘70s—a look we are totally on board with for spring.
As a basic silhouette, polos will most likely be around forever. Whether you choose a classic logo’d Ralph Lauren number or something a little more offbeat and innovative, is up to you! Here are a few cute options that occupy the latter category.
