Michel Rouen Striped Polos

Stripes are where this brand puts most of its colour, and fifty-four colourways across four cuts is the evidence. They are not one look. The fine pin stripe is close to a solid from any distance and only shows itself when somebody is standing next to you. The wider two-tone stripes are the ones that read across a fairway and get remembered. The pool of ratings behind this group is the deepest on the site, which tells you where the brand actually sells rather than what it would like to be known for.

Two practical notes before you pick a colourway. First, a stripe hides less than a solid does: a sweat line down the back of a light stripe is visible in a way that it is not on navy, so if you are a man who soaks a shirt by the fourth, take the darker colourways here. Second, this is the part of the shelf that runs furthest, to 5XL on some cuts, and the run is printed on each card because it is not the same on all four. Prices span $9.95 to $32.95, the widest band anywhere on the site.
