Best Polo Shirt for Summer Riding??

I was just perusing Youtube and watched this video of Lillie Keenan and got polo shirt envy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6EjtlfLQqY

I’m in the marked for a nice polo shirt that isn’t low cut and has longer sleeves and the loose fit and mesh fabric that Lillie is wearing in the video. I’m sure I can’t find that exact one because I’m guessing it’s Hermes, but do any of you have any fabulous polo shirts that you’d love to share with me? I love my long-sleeved EIS and Tailored Sportsman sun shirts, but I’d really love a couple of polos too. Thanks in advance for all of your help!

I buy all of my polos from golf shops

Me too. I also have a few amazing half zips from them as well.

Go to Winners (TJ Max in the states?). Go to the athletic section. Buy allll the technical polos. There are often so so many styles, colours, cuts, etc - I just got a few for summer with nice mesh panels under the arms/on the back that are just lovely.

I think she’s wearing the $395 Hermes polo: http://usa.hermes.com/equestrian/for-the-rider/ladies/polo-shirts/e-women-short-sleeve-polo-69865.html

My daughter saw this one in Dover and is begging for it. Feels nice and cool, like their quarter zip long sleeve tops.

Ditto checking sporting goods stores for ladies golf shirts, on sale. I picked one of these up last year pretty reasonably, and quite like it: http://www.golfgalaxy.com/p/lady-hagen-womens-milan-polo/14ladwmilanpolapt?camp=CSE:GooglePLA::14LADWMILANPOLAPT&gclid=CJHUg7Gs4cwCFcNkhgodQZgJyw Lots of colors, and usually the sports stores have pretty good sales if you’re patient.

Thanks for all of your help!! It’s hard to find polos that I really like… thanks for your suggestions! A $395 Hermes polo is definitely NOT in the budget :slight_smile:

As of Summer outfit T-shirt is a must for summer wardrobe both for men and women it keeps you cool in summers and makes you feel comfortable all the time. I ordered T-shirts last week that was and it was Bella + Canvas 3006 T-shirts free shipped on time and the quality was par excellence.

I quite like Ariat’s Cambria Polo.

Also, I’ve been picking up more and more riding tops at Uniqlo, as they’re adding more and more activewear, and they have a polo made of their Dry-Ex tech fabric that’s on sale for $10 right now - even comes in a bright orange like that Hermes polo.

Artic Cool makes very decent polos and v neck (for schooling) tee shirts.

I live in my Kastel sun shirts and long-sleeve polos. They are great, even in the heat and humidity. And while their current “in-season” colors can be pricey, they have a bunch of other colors on clearance for $35.

I have some golf shirts too. Some of them are not as long and don’t tuck into low-rise breeches as well as shirts designed for riding. So definitely try on whatever you look at if the feeling of a shirt coming untucked drives you as nuts as it does me.

Golf shirts - I go to the outlets or TJ Max or something and find whatever’s on sale/clearance. I’ve got several Nike shirts in the technical material that were between $6-$20…you have to be patient and willing to find them off season (I bought several on clearance this past winter) but I can’t justify spending $80 on a shirt that I can find for $20 if I look for a bit.

Oh my gosh, thank you!! Just bought three Kastels for $99.

I just bought a bunch a K-Mart for about $4 because the store is going out of business (thanks to our county council). Not that I usually shop for close there but for $4 that my horse is going to slobber on = a good deal.

Just bought 2 of them and free shipping! Thanks for the Kastel tip

I bought two of these last year (perhaps recommended on here?). They wash up like new and never wrinkle. Polished and flattering look with breeches.

Peter Millar!

I just saw an ad for these on fb! Do they really feel cooler? I’d be interested in trying one of their polos.

They offer a 30-day money back guarantee, so you can actually try it at no risk.
