Ted Baker Men's Johnny Collar Polo

I really like this shirt and how versatile it is, able to be dressed up or down with the right pair of pants. The fabric is extremely soft and lightweight, making it comfortable to wear in different temperatures. The texture is also unique, giving this a different look from many of the shirts that I often see. That's a big reason that I like this shirt, since I don't typically like white/cream shirts, as I feel they look boring. The fit is also great, with a somewhat fitted look without feeling constrictive or looking boxy. I was a bit concerned about the neckline at first, since it doesn't have buttons. I always wear a V-neck undershirt if I'm not just wearing a t-shirt, and these types of shirts sometimes dive too low at the neckline to hide my undershirt. However, this one is great and hides the top of my undershirt while still giving my neck plenty of room to breathe. The buttonless neckline also gives it a more modern look than most of my polo shirts. Overall, I think this is a great shirt and enjoy wearing it to work and weekend outings.

When I first pulled this out of the package, I immediately was drawn to the shade of green. The green collar also stands out as a subtle flex. It is super soft, breathable, and doesn’t feel stiff or boxy. I wore it all day and never once felt the need to tug, adjust, or sigh dramatically. Huge win. The shirt is tailored but forgiving. It skims the body without clinging. It's a shirt that goes with khaki pants, jeans, and I've thought about using it with my blazer. It has held its shape, its collar has stayed crisp, and you can tell it won’t give up after a few washes. This feels like a “wear it for years” polo, not a seasonal thing.
