• Performance polos — Designed with added stretch and moisture-wicking tech, these polos help regulate heat and stay fresh through commutes, meetings or active weekends.

How to wear men’s smart casual polos

Here's how to work Van Heusen polos into your week without breaking a sweat:

• Office-ready — Swap the button-up for a clean-cut polo with sharp collars and a tailored fit. Add chinos and a proper belt and you’ve nailed business casual effortlessly.
• Weekend polish — Pair your polo with dark denim and sneakers, and you’ve got a weekend fit that says “I know what I’m doing” even if you’re just winging the plans.
• Layered look — When the temp drops or you want to add structure, layer your polo under a jacket. It keeps things sharp without getting too buttoned-up. Go for a neutral blazer or a bomber if you’re keeping it casual.

FAQs

Are smart polos considered business casual in Australia?

One hundred per cent. They strike the right balance between relaxed and refined, especially when paired with tailored trousers.

How do I style a smart polo for a polished look?

Start with a good fit. No saggy sleeves or baggy hems. Then build around it: neutral chinos or dark denim, sneakers or loafers, maybe a blazer if you’re feeling it.
