You’d be amazed at what a little collar can do.
When René Lacoste dreamt up the polo shirt in 1926, could he have known it would go on to become one of fashion’s most enduring staples? Defined by its collar and short button placket, the silhouette still brings a polished touch to just about any outfit today. And while the original piqué cotton jersey design was intended for tennis, designers have long since taken it beyond the court—reworking it in new fabrications and playing with modern proportions. This spring, let the polo shirt in all its preppy glory earn a spot in your regular rotation.
The style showed up across the season’s best collections. Tory Burch had several standout versions (many tucked into low-rise skirts—another current obsession), while Miu Miu kept the shapes classic and played with color combinations (olive with emerald! marigold with ruby red!). And for fresh outfit ideas, insider labels like Zankov delivered.
Scroll on for eight standout looks that make the case for the polo shirt this spring.
