Men's red polo shirts

Men's red polo shirts read considerably more wearable in a muted brick tone than the colour suggests in theory, working well against the neutral trousers already common in summer dressing.

Fabric and shade depth

Cut in cotton piqué, the range spans a deep burgundy through to a brighter brick red, both chosen to hold their shade well through repeated washing. A ribbed collar and tipped cuffs, finished in a contrasting colour, add a small but deliberate detail to the classic silhouette.

Wearing men's red polo shirts against neutral trousers

A muted brick red pairs particularly well with stone or navy trousers, reading considerably more sophisticated than a bright, primary red would against the same combination. This restraint in shade is why deeper reds have earned a place in Hackett London's polo range rather than being treated as a purely bold statement colour.
