The Men's Casual Tops Edit
A casual top does four jobs: it dresses you for the gate at a show, warms a cold aisle, stands up to ranch work and covers everyday wear. Each section below takes one.

For the show ring
Alessandro Albanese makes the clearest case for a polo that works in the ring. The Dubai Short Sleeve Polo Competition Shirt has a button down collar and button placket and is cut fitted so it sits smoothly under a coat. The Short Sleeve Polo Skin Shirt is the more versatile pick: a fitted polo with a crisp white collar that is nice enough for a formal clinic and casual enough for cross country or everyday riding. For a classic look, Horseware's Prato Classic Polo is 100% mercerized cotton with a tie placket.
When the day is hot and the schooling is hard, tech fabrics earn their place. B Vertigo's Aidan Ultralight Polo Shirt is 88% polyamide and 12% elastane, taped instead of sewn to avoid seams, with a mesh panel at the back. Tredstep's Performance Polo uses a four way stretch pique, and Horze lists the Dorian Technical Short Sleeve Sun Shirt with a zip collar, underarm mesh and UPF 30+ sun protection. The Cleancool Half Zip Long Sleeve Shirt adds a lightweight, quick drying, stretch layer with a reversed half zip.

For cold mornings
Three layers cover most cold mornings. For schooling, the Quarter Zip Mid Layer from LeMieux is a mid weight top with technical stretch fabric on the chest and thumb holes in the long sleeves. For the aisle and the chores, LeMieux's Borg Half Zip Sweatshirt uses double heavy weight borg fleece with zip pockets, and Alessandro Albanese's Gabriel Quarter Zip Sweatshirt is a premium sueded 85% cotton, 15% polyester pullover with rib cuffs and hem that looks right over jeans.
For a lighter layer, Equinavia's Nils Houndstooth Quarter Zip is 50% cotton, 47% polyester and 3% spandex with a micro houndstooth pattern, made to wear alone or as a base layer. Troxel's 1/4 Zip Pullover is a poly/spandex blend with a mock neck and stretch. Look elsewhere if you need a coat: men's outerwear has jackets and vests built for the weather.

For ranch work
Western riders get the tougher end of the range here. Centaur Ranch's USA Farm Short Sleeve Tee is made for ranchers and farmers who want to look good while they work. For a shirt with a collar, the TuffRider Adey Shirt is 96% cotton and 4% spandex, with a fold-down collar, button cuffs and a four hole front button to prevent gapping.
For warm days in the saddle, Back on Track's Ian Tee Shirt and Gareth Long Sleeve Tee Shirt use the brand's iontex technology in a lightweight, breathable, stretchy fabric that dries quickly, in short and long sleeves for sport and everyday wear.

For everyday wear
LeMieux covers the whole day in men's casual tops. The Rugby Shirt has a boxy shape, ribbed cuffs and a cotton collar with white buttons, and LeMieux's listing says to size up for an oversized fit. The Classique Polo Shirt is soft cotton pique with an embroidered chest logo, rib collar and rib sleeve cuffs.
For cool days, the Hoodie is fleece-lined brushed sweatshirt fabric with a drawstring hood and kangaroo pocket. The Base Layer is cut for men in sweat-wicking technical fabric with vented underarms and 360 degree stretch, and LeMieux lists it with UV50+ sun protection. Look elsewhere if you want a show-ring polo: the Alessandro Albanese and Tredstep polos above are cut for it.

Questions riders ask
Start with a tee or polo you can move in, then add a quarter zip or fleece when it is cold. Match the fabric to the job: a cotton tee like the Centaur Ranch USA Farm Tee for chores, a tech polo like the B Vertigo Aidan for hot lessons, and the LeMieux Quarter Zip Mid Layer under a jacket in winter. Browse the grid above and filter by style.
Yes for most lessons, and many shows allow a polo, so check your show's rule book before you pack. Alessandro Albanese's Dubai Short Sleeve Polo Competition Shirt has a button down collar and placket and is made for the ring, while its Short Sleeve Polo Skin Shirt works for clinics and everyday riding. Pick a collared polo and tuck it in.
Yes. Horze's Dorian Technical Sun Shirt comes in short and long sleeves with a zip collar, underarm mesh and UPF 30+ sun protection as Horze lists it, and LeMieux's Base Layer is listed with UV50+ sun protection. For more coverage choose long sleeves, and read the fabric details on the product page before you buy.
Check your chest and sleeve measurements against each brand's size chart, because cuts differ: LeMieux describes its Rugby Shirt as boxy and says to size up for an oversized fit, while the Alessandro Albanese polos are cut fitted. If you layer under a coat or vest, size to the layers. Use the Find Your Fit menu above to jump to your size.
