Spring and summer time is also polo time. It’s not quite as dressed up as a full-on button down shirt, nor as casual or laid back as a t-shirt. Perfect for BBQ’s, sports games, or just hanging out, every guy needs a solid polo collection. It is, perhaps, the greatest way to look just a bit more put together while still staying cool and comfortable in the coming warmer months.

For many guys, Banana Republic’s polo lineup is amongst the best and highest regarded out there. They have a ton of different fabrics, patterns, cuts, styles, and sizes. This is BR’s great strength here, but, also, its weakness. As time has gone on, BR now offers so many different polos that it becomes confusing to know which one is right for you, and which will look the best on you. Plus, over the years, BR’s sizing has gotten a bit less consistent, and so a certain size in one kind of polo might not work in a different style polo. Luckily, that is why we are here; to bring you a complete and thorough walkthrough of BR’s entire polo lineup for this coming season, along with the strengths and weaknesses of each kind, why you might like it or not, and a complete measurements chart so you can see the differences between the different cuts, and be able to better decide which polos are right for you.

Note: Unless otherwise noted, all sizes shown here are size Small. I am 6’1 and 165 lbs. Also note that all prices provided are full retail, but you can almost always catch a sale at BR and get these polos for much less.
