The polo tee has been reimagined for life outside the tennis courts and golf courses. The 2022 versions pack a whole lot of edgy coolness while keeping the style staple’s iconic smart casualness. Ultra-cropped ones are great for layering (if you’re conscious about your abs), while oversize numbers look fab when tucked into a bright leather mini. For a fail-proof and contemporary POV, wear yours with khakis, spruced up with embellished heels for that sassy surprise, or with leather bottoms to bring some tough girl vibes into the equation. The style’s versatility means you can go ahead and have fun, but whatever you do, keep those collars down.
