Green is having a moment in menswear and the polo shirt is the vehicle it travels best in. The problem is that most green polos either commit too hard to a shade that only works in a golf cart, or they go so muted they disappear entirely. The ones worth owning sit somewhere more considered than that. A good forest green or a washed olive reads as intentional in a way that navy never quite manages. What separates a polo that looks considered from one that looks cheap is collar roll, fabric weight, and how the placket lies flat after a wash. We have been looking specifically for options that get all three right without asking you to spend serious money to get there. These work with chinos, with shorts, with relaxed trousers. Dressed up with a blazer or left alone with clean sneakers. The right green polo earns its place every summer.
