Men's Polo Shirts
(3235)When temperatures rise, a cotton piqué polo balances smart and cool without the formality of a collared shirt. Piqué knit breathes better than jersey and holds its shape through repeated washes. Next's men's polo shirt collection includes 18 colours in regular and slim fits. Cotton piqué is the core fabric, with jersey and Motionflex options also available. Brands include Next own-brand, Threadbare, Ralph Lauren, and Lacoste. Most styles sit between €23.50 and €160, with single polos at €23.50 and multi-packs of three from €63 or five from €77. Home delivery across Ireland costs €2 per order.

The Polo Shirt: Smarter Than a Tee, Easier Than a Shirt A polo shirt bridges the gap between T-shirts and button-up shirts. The collar adds structure that reads as intentional, while the soft knit fabric keeps the comfort of a tee. It is one of the most versatile pieces in a man's wardrobe. Fabric and Construction Piqué cotton is the standard polo fabric — its waffle-like texture wicks moisture better than plain jersey and holds its shape through repeated washing. Most polos in the Next range are pure piqué cotton in regular or slim fit. Jersey polos from the Motionflex range add stretch for freedom of movement during active days. Next own-brand styles start around €23.50 for a single polo and €77 for a five-pack. Fit Options Regular fit provides a straight cut that works tucked or untucked. Slim fit tapers through the chest and sits closer to the body — best worn untucked with fitted chinos or jeans. Both fits are available across the full colour range. Building a Polo Rotation Start with navy, black, and white — these three cover most situations. Add a muted tone like sage green or denim marl for variety. Multi-packs of three at €63 or five at €77 bring the per-item cost well below buying singles. Sizes run from XS to 6XL in regular, big, tall and curve size types. Styling Tips Pair with chinos and leather shoes for smart-casual. With shorts and trainers for summer weekends. Layer under a lightweight jacket or gilet when temperatures drop. Avoid tucking into jeans unless the setting calls for it — an untucked polo with a clean hem looks most contemporary. Brands Next's own-label offers a wide range. Threadbare contributes contrast-tipping styles with a hidden placket for a cleaner front line. Premium options include Polo Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss, Lacoste, Fred Perry, Gant, Barbour, and Reiss, alongside sportswear from Adidas, Nike, and Under Armour.
