Which three colours would you choose for an all year long polo?

I'm planning to buy at least two polos and possibly a third. I'm having trouble figuring out which colours would allow me to wear them all year long. I think I will get at least a white one for sure. Any suggestions for the second and third one? Thanks.

Btw, I'm leaning towards getting the RL Custom-fit polos.

I would choose more than three, out of the fifty.

I have dark brown eyes and black hair. Which colour would you get if you were me? Brown or black?


Depending on your complexion but based on your eye hair; simply I would venture for:

1. to Navy as possible, it's always nice.
2. I'd rock a brown or tan..always good to have items that correlate with your eyes. Why do you think Daniel Craig in the New bond movie was in navy and all shades of blue.
3. Rock a Burgundy
4. Black as a 4th.

What do you think of the newport navy colour in polo's site? I'm Chinese and have somewhat white skin.

Right now the plan is to buy two long sleeve polos and two short sleeves. After doing something thinking, I'm leaning towards brown and navy. Should I buy the short and long sleeves in the same colours? Or go brown and navy for long sleeves and maybe white and black for the short sleeves? The only bad thing is that black is not a good colour for the summer time, but I'm a big fan of black.

Burgundy, navy and blue. Tan would probably be a fourth choice. My black and white polos get surprisingly little use.

Are you planning to wear with jeans? If so, I would not pick navy - too boring, no contrast. With brown eyes and dark hair, my top choices would be heather grey, deep green and orange (or red)

I like 'heathery' shades.
Landsend did/do a nice heather Navy polo & a very nice heather Mid-Blue polo. They cost nothing, are free from logos, and can be used to clean the car windows when you grow bored with them.
I wouldn't pick solids of Navy, Black or White. I think you may find them more than a bit dull very quickly.
Burgundy and Bottle/Hunter Green are very nice choices for your colouring I think.
If you can get the right soft shades, Pink or Yellow are both very nice, but finding the right shades of both can be an endless quest.
Take time making your choice & have fun!

Larry.

I do plan on wearing them with jeans every once in a while.
