The golf shirt is a go-to item for many men. I've wanted Esquire to publish a style guide to golf shirts and recently met the ideal writer to do it: Laz Versalles. He's a true expert on golf—not only the game but also the etiquette, the unspoken codes, the attire. Laz went deep on the golf shirt: how it should fit, when to wear it, what to avoid, how to care for it, which brands to buy, and more. It's a must-read for anyone who owns a golf shirt.

Whether you're on the course or wearing one on a date, here's everything you need to know to impress.

For many people the golf shirt is the de facto work uniform. For others it might serve as a trusty look for a Friday Happy Hour, or the ready-to-go throw-on shirt for running around town. The ever-versatile golf shirt is all those things and more. You don't have to play golf to wear one, but you should know what makes them different and how to best work them into your routine.
The roots of the golf shirt spring from the world of tennis, and, specifically, the English tradition of tennis players wearing "all whites" as the sport's standard uniform. Both tennis players and golfers wore button-down oxford shirts—and often ties—when playing. This denoted a certain sense of class and place in society. The look might have pleased the high-society types, but it didn't do much for comfort or performance. In 1928, Frenchman René Lacoste (nicknamed "The Crocodile," hence the logo) cut the sleeves off his shirt and built a global company around the fashionable and functional shirts. |

Almost as soon as the Cuban-Dominican American performer joined Saturday Night Live in 2022, it became obvious that he is the most dynamic cast member the show has seen since Kate McKinnon or Bill Hader. His superpowers include: a detonate-your-TV-screen manic energy, the ability to create instantly meme-able characters for SNL's scrolling audience, and a knack for channeling his upbringing as a Miami-born child of immigrants into hilarious, quick-witted sketches. "That's where a lot of my comedy comes from," Hernández says, "is that my parents went through a lot to give me a good life." Sure enough, Hollywood has come calling. Hernández earned a role in Adam Sandler's Happy Gilmore 2 and will soon star alongside Kevin Hart in 72 Hours, a Netflix comedy about a bachelor-party weekend gone wrong. |

Tous les 'Toobz were buzzing on Wednesday about the three-hour Cabinet meeting on Tuesday at which, after a while, you half-expected Lemuel Gulliver to crash in through a window, fresh off a negotiation with the Houyhnhnms, the race of intelligent, rational horses who ruled over the Yahoos, a race of barbaric humanoids who smelled worse than the horses. If he had crashed the meeting, ol' Lemuel would have concluded that, in this strange place, the Yahoos would have taken over. Blog kudos to Katie Rogers of The New York Times for capturing the sheer, mad essence of the gathering there in the Gilded Palace of Sin (thanks again, Gram). |
