Green is having a proper moment in menswear and the polo shirt is where it shows up best. The problem is that most green polos either look like they belong on a golf course in 1987 or they cost more than they have any right to. Neither is acceptable. What we were looking for specifically were the shades that work in real life, olive, forest, sage, the kinds of green that sit well against most skin tones and pair with navy, stone, and tan without any effort required. We were also looking at collar roll, fabric weight, and whether the placket lies flat without being ironed into submission. A polo lives and dies on those details. The ones in here get the colour right and the construction right, and they do it at prices that make sense. Some of them we would put up against options at twice the cost without hesitation. That is the standard we applied.
