The 12 Best Back To School Polo Shirts

intern — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 21:00:32 +0000

T-shirts are a summer staple, but as we head into September and the summer begins to conclude, you should start to ease up on the graphic t’s (besides these, of course) and throw on something a little more sophisticated. We’re not saying it’s time to whip back out your button downs and sweaters—nah, the leaves don’t even start falling in September.

What you should do, however, is make sure your polo game is proper. Especially if you’re going back to school. There’s nothing like a sick polo shirt to give you a more scholarly look. From the classic Ralph Lauren polos to the casual J. Crew jerseys we picked out the 12 must own polo shirts of the season. Take your pick below…

Lacoste Missouri Albino

Bradley — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:26:39 +0000

To celebrate the history of its iconic crocodile branding, and the nickname of its founder Rene Lacoste (”The Crocodile”), the LACOSTE brand is releasing a collection of 9 shoes that celebrate the animal and the Mythologies surrounding crocodiles around the world over the next three months. The Missouri is done up in a white croc colorway to illustrate the myth of a South African albino crocodile that is honored as a god of fertility.

Apply a little A then B logic here, and you have a shoe that’s going to help you get laid. Sounds like a win win to us. Look for these in late May for $160, and check the jump for additional colorways as well as some of the other shoes in the collection dropping through April, May and June.

It used to be that the alligator was only cool on polo shirts, but with some solid collabs, and improved design of their footwear, Lacoste is stepping it up. As NYC weather gets cold as balls, pack these Missouri 85 MVs for the weekend getaway to the Mia-yo, and say hi to Deputy Ross and DJ Khaled for us. Check for these at select Lacoste boutiques around the country next month.

Hey! Buy this T-shirt. It’s a collab between Craig Metzger (artist and former creative director of eS and Instant Winner/Acapulco Gold) and the Mountain. If you don’t know, he was doing sneaker collabs with Invisible:Man before anyone in the blogosphere knew who Andrew Lee was. The shirt is for a good cause too: $5 from each purchase goes to the NRDC. [Enginesystem]

KozynDan, the great married art duo, just dropped a collab with Puma. We would have liked to see more of the art, but these are cool. [Highsnobiety]

Lacoste has been getting blog hype with the Stash shoes, which is great. If you’re buying though, check these Missouri’s in black by Shoes Up. Very nice. [Nice Kicks]

Let Banksy draw on your house, cash in for double! [Slam x Hype]

December SB launch images. Yawn. When can we get to June? That’s when the fire hits. [Hypbeast]

Lacoste x STASH Revan/Ardeur

Joe — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 16:05:25 +0000

Look for the gator to hop off your polo and onto your kicks this month, as Lacoste teams up with graffiti artist STASH on this waterproof Revan/Ardeur model. Two colorups, including a navy/gray scheme we're used to seeing from the heavily-hyped STASH will release this Thursday, December 4th, (Hovie's b-day!) at an event taking place at Nort/Recon. Check the brown/gray colorway as well as the party flyer below…
