Pleated with Polo

written by John Philp April 17, 2018

This outfit is a play on an iconic and American classic – Polo Ralph Lauren’s Polo. The Polo shirt has been a spring and summer staple in my closet for as long as I can remember. While there are quite a few variations of the Polo, I’m rocking a Custom Slim Fit Mesh Polo.
I love the trim cut and silhouette of this fit. It definitely is a little tighter around the chest and arms and can be tucked in for a dressier look. It features a ribbed collar, two button placket and of course, the signature embroidered pony on the left chest. I’ve paired the polo with a Relaxed Fit Pleated Chino. These chinos are an updated version of something you might find your uncle wearing after the golf course. The relaxed fit leaves quite a bit of room throughout to leg and the party is definitely in the front as the pants feature prominent pleats. These are a staple in your closet as they’ll take you through any occasion that might require pants – casual to classy. I’d pair this with a tee or Chambray Shirt for an easy, effortless look or dress it up with a coat and tie. John Philp Blogger Ralph Lauren Palm Springs John Philp Blogger Ralph Lauren Palm SpringsJohn Philp Menswear Travel Blogger Polo Ralph Lauren

John Philp Blogger Ralph Lauren Palm SpringsJohn Philp Blogger Ralph Lauren Palm SpringsThe shoes I’m wearing are Polo Ralph Lauren’s Ardenall Suede Monk-Strap shoe. They’re such a great shoe to add to your arsenal of dress shoes. Since these are a darker color of suede (‘Snuff’) they’re going to be quite versatile and I can actually wear these year round. In the summer month’s I’d wear them as I’ve styled them here or with a linen suit. They’d also pair really nicely with a burgundy or navy wool suit in the fall and winter months.
