Want to look like a U.S. Open champion? Try adding a color-blocked polo to your wardrobe

June 17, 2014

A style trend that has transcended the runways to the fairways on the PGA Tour of late is the color-blocked polo. You couldn't miss it this past weekend as Martin Kaymer made the look his signature in his BOSS green apparel en route to his U.S. Open romp.

The best part about this look is the fact that it's something pretty much anyone can pull off. If you've already rounded out your basic solid piques in all the classic colors, you might consider injecting a little life in your game with fun looks in a bold, blocked pattern. It's an easy way to turn your style up to 11 without going full floral on your foursome.

Here are three great color-blocked polos that will look just as sharp on the Ninth hole as the will on the 19th hole.
