When it comes to Father’s Day gifting, there’s one menswear essential that perfectly combines comfort, style, and versatility—the polo shirt. It’s the ultimate summer staple, ideal for casual Fridays, weekend outings, and even dressed-up dinners. At Garmany in Red Bank, we believe in elevating the classics, and this year, we’re highlighting proper polos from world-class brands like Brunello Cucinelli, Fedeli, Orchard & Broome, Patrick Assaraf and more. These aren’t your average polos—they’re the refined choice for the modern gentleman.

Why a Polo Makes the Perfect Father’s Day Gift

With its short sleeves and relaxed collar, the polo is effortlessly stylish and endlessly adaptable. It can transition from sporty to sophisticated with ease, but that doesn’t mean just any polo will do. A thoughtfully selected polo shirt shows attention to detail—and that’s exactly what dad deserves. Below are expert tips for choosing the right one, and how to style it for maximum impact.

GO VINTAGE

Retro is back, and polos are no exception. Vintage-inspired styles, like those from Piacenza, feature bold stripes, rich hues, and throwback patterns that add personality to any look. Thanks to high-quality technical fabrics and superior craftsmanship, these aren’t just trendy—they’re built to last. Think of it as giving dad a classic with a modern twist.

FIT IS EVERYTHING

If dad’s been hitting the gym or simply prefers a tailored look, go for a polo that’s cut close to the body (without being tight). Fedeli offers Italian-made polos that are impeccably fitted, with sleeves that hit mid-bicep and hems that rest just above the back pockets. This kind of fit flatters the frame and makes him look instantly more polished.

MASTER THE LAYERING GAME

The beauty of a well-made polo is that it can anchor an entire outfit. For a smart-casual Father’s Day dinner, layer a polo under a Brunello Cucinelli sport coat or a lightweight Manto jacket. You can even try it under a cardigan—just opt for a polo with a buttonless collar for a cleaner neckline. It’s a thoughtful, contemporary look dad will appreciate (and likely repeat).

TO TUCK OR NOT TO TUCK?

There’s no right or wrong—it depends on the occasion. For business casual days or brunch at the country club, tucking in a polo gives dad a tidy, put-together appearance. Leave it untucked for backyard barbecues or relaxed afternoons downtown, as long as the length is right. A too-long polo looks sloppy, no matter how nice the fabric.

SAY NO TO UNDERSHIRTS

Today’s top-tier polos—like those from Brunello Cucinelli and Fedeli—are made with breathable, high-tech fabrics that keep dad cool and comfortable. That means undershirts are unnecessary (and can ruin the sleek silhouette). If there’s room for one, the polo probably doesn’t fit quite right.

This Father’s Day, give dad a gift that fuses style, substance, and timeless appeal. At Garmany, our curated collection of polos from the world’s most respected designers ensures you’ll find the perfect fit—literally and figuratively.
