    Polo shirts are the perfect addition for your spring wardrobe, a simple, clean-cut look that's sure to keep you cool and stylish for those warmer days ahead! This year calls for bold and bright colors including red, aqua, lime green and pink. Just pair them up with capris or drawstring khaki pants for a casual look with plenty of style. The trick for wearing polo shirts without them looking too baggy is to find one that's made with a little stretch fabric - these styles emphasize your natural silhouette in just the right places. Whether you're off on weekend travels or just running errands, here are some great polo shirts that can help you pull off that casual chic style with ease:

    Cherokee Polo Shirt at Target

The short sleeve polo falls just below the hips, and can be a much better choice than a casual t-shirt.

    Adidas Women's Polo/Golf Shirt

    If you need something for a day at the golf course, or just a day at the beach playing volleyball, pick up a sports-style polo shirt with just enough stretch fabric and moisture-absorbing properties for those hotter days outdoors. The Adidas Women's Polo/Golf Shirt is made with 'Climacool' technology that wicks away moisture to keep you comfortable. You can even get away with darker colors in this style, so feel free to pick yours up in gray, black, or navy!

    Tommy Hilfiger Ithaca Polo

    Pick up something bright and colorful to jump into spring with, and you'll be more than ready for sunny days ahead.
