"  Don&amp;#039;t be distracted by the fact that this may very well be the world&amp;#039;s first example of a &amp;quot;Presidential selfie&amp;quot; (or by your excitement about Sunday&amp;#039;s auction, in which this photo will be up for sale, along with other pieces of history like JFK&amp;#039;s Air Force One bomber jacket). Because if you pay close enough attention, you&amp;#039;ll notice that John F. Kennedy, the man we&amp;#039;ve all taken countless style cues from, is teaching us yet another lesson. Here, he&amp;#039;s displaying how to wear a polo shirt like an adult. Unfortunately for most young guys out there, the polo shirt was nearly ruined during the aughts, thanks to popped collars and mall brands. But take if from a Kennedy, the polo shirt can be as stylish as a button-up \u2014 it&amp;#039;s just a matter of how you wear it. Notice how JFK paired his shirt with neatly pressed trousers, not jeans, and finished the look off with his trademark sunglasses. This is how the polo shirt should be approached, as a neutralizer that helps to balance out a clean look on a particularly hot or humid day. Consider it when spring and summer roll in. Just, whatever you do, leave that collar down. You oughta be looking like a Kennedy, not a frat boy. Jake Gallagher is a writer living in Manhattan. He writes the blog Wax Wane.
