Knit polos don't make any sense, one GQ contributor notes. Pick a pique polo shirt instead and you'll look—and feel—a heckuva lot cooler. Here's why.

Gant Slim Fit Shield Piqué Polo Shirt Gant is one of the best brands for the classics. From the two-button collar to the midweight fabric and subtle chest logo, this is the quintessential polo shirt.

Swap that t-shirt out for a Lacoste polo, and 90 percent of the time you're going to look better. You can go to the beach, walk in the park, and sit down to a nice meal without embarrassing your date.

The Gap Factory Stretch Pique Polo Shirts are on sale starting at $16, up to a 54% discount from the original price of $35. No codes are necessary, and prices are automatically lowered at checkout.
