This is a more modern take on the polo. The zip placket offers a very sleek, contemporary look. Would look especially sharp paired with some neutral slacks and dress footwear.
Your standards shouldn't disappear just because you’re lounging.
I get that comfort is a priority when at home.
Here’s how you can do it without sloppy...👇
Swap the baggy athletic hoodies and logoed tees for a plain, cozy sweatshirt.
French Terry cotton is preferred.
Why?
Because it's comfortable, cozy, hard wearing and will break-in over time. It's also easy to care for as well. Wash in cold water, hang dry.
French terry sweatshirt below is from Buck Mason (affiliate): bit.ly/3KKqh5X
Love the two tone design on this one, complete with signature "V" insert at the neck. This one is in a midweight fabric as well.
Another great option here is a waffle knit cotton thermal.
Comfortable and just as easy to wear as a sweatshirt. Nice alternative for those living in warmer climates and don't need a heavy sweatshirt but still want something more substantial than a basic tee.
But if you went a little overboard on summer vacation and need to quickly drop some body fat and get back on track, it’s worth looking into a CLASSIC protocol from Lyle McDonald: the Protein Sparing Modified Fast (PSMF).
Here’s how it works...
I should mentioned Lyle first published this protocol in 2005 and then updated it in 2008...keep in mind this is a rapid fat loss plan, it's meant as a short-term kickstart, not a long-term diet.
You're supposed to switch to a more sustainable approach after 10-12 days.
Here's how it works:
✔️You eat a high protein diet – anywhere between 1-2g of protein per pound of body weight per day. Focus here is on LEAN sources - think chicken breast, tuna, shrimp, whey protein, egg whites, non fat Greek yogurt etc.
✔️Supplement with fish oil – 1g of of EPA/DHA is plenty
✔️Take a basic multi vitamin/multimineral supplement
✔️Include some non starchy veggies for fiber and to keep hunger somewhat at bay
I've always maintained that you don’t need deep pockets to look dangerously handsome.
Forget designer labels. What you need is a plan.
Here’s exactly what I’d do to make it happen - step by step...👇
Step 1 - the obvious: get in great shape. This is non-negotiable. The 80/20 of stellar style lies in the condition of your physique.

Step 2 - pick up a handful of inexpensive, PLAIN Supima or Pima cotton tees.
H&M's premium lines makes a great, 100% Pima cotton tee that is on sale right now for $15 (affiliate): bit.ly/4jRxQ7j
Why Supima or Pima cotton? Because it's the highest quality cotton you can get your hands on (other than Sea Island cotton). It's an extra long staple fiber known for its softness, durability, superior drape and color retention properties.
Hit these numbers, and any plain T-shirt will look ELITE on you.
Step 2: Get LEAN
Most guys don’t struggle with not enough muscle—they struggle with too much body fat.
That means cutting down until you hit that 8-10” drop.
Fat loss is SIMPLE:
✔ Eat in a calorie deficit (burn more than you consume)
✔ Prioritize whole & minimally processed foods
✔ Get enough protein (1g per lb of ideal body weight)
✔ Hit your fiber & healthy fats (10-14 grams of fiber per 1000 calories consumed, and keep saturated fat intake below 10% of your total calories)
✔ Stay consistent
