Orange Polo Shirts That Go With More Than You'd Think

Orange is the color most men rule out without ever really testing. That's a mistake. The right shade of orange, in the right fabric, on the right fit, earns its place in a wardrobe faster than you'd expect. We've been particularly interested in how well certain orange polos work against navy chinos, olive trousers, and washed denim. Better than beige in all three cases. The issue with most orange polos is that they come in shades that only work on a beach or a sports field. We've been looking specifically for tones that sit closer to terracotta and burnt sienna than to traffic cone, and cuts that are fitted without being tight. Collar roll matters here too. A sloppy collar kills the whole thing. The polos we've pulled together are the ones that photographed well and then held up in practice. Orange done right is one of the easiest ways to add something real to a summer wardrobe.
