Orange is the colour most men dismiss before they’ve even tried it, and we think that’s a mistake worth correcting. The hesitation makes sense. A bad orange, in a bad fabric, cut badly, and yes, it looks like a traffic cone. But a well chosen orange polo, in a faded terracotta or a burnt, earthy tone, is one of the more useful things you can add to a warm weather wardrobe. It works against navy chinos in a way that feels considered rather than loud. It holds its own with olive, with stone, with white. It photographs well without trying to. We’ve been specifically looking for polos where the shade has some depth to it rather than sitting at the neon end of the dial, and where the fabric has enough weight to drape properly rather than clinging. The pieces in here are the ones that made us understand why orange belongs in a rotation, not just on a mood board.
