The thing that makes polo shirts such a must-own item for stylish guys is their versatility. What you wear a polo shirt with will determine the feel of the outfit. Unlike a t-shirt, which is almost exclusively casual, or an oxford, which is almost exclusively formal, a polo shirt sits right in the middle, which means it can go with pretty much anything.
A polo shirt is a perfectly acceptable top to wear for a trip to the beach. You can pair it with some board shorts and flip-flops and look completely natural. Personally, I prefer this look over a t-shirt because it shows that you still put forth a little effort even in a casual situation. When you think about someone wearing a polo shirt, the first outfit that probably comes to mind is the shirt, a pair of contrasting chinos, and some smart shoes.
Golf shirts containing spandex will cling to the body. Want more information on how a polo shirt should fit? The Sizing - One of the recent developments in the garment industry is the addition of more sizes. Many custom embroidered polo shirts are now available up to size 6X for men, 4X for women, men's tall, young women's junior and young men's slim fit. Some shirts also have a youth companion style. Trim Details - Many polo shirts have a trim accent color on the collar, sleeves or placket.
Although too much color detailing can distract from your logo, a contrasting color on the collar that repeats a color in your logo can emphasize your logo.
Although not all trim colors will work with every logo, wearing golf shirts with an accent color can give your design a unique look and make your logo pop!
Ladies Companion Styles - In addition to the traditional reversed placket and V-neck button sport shirts, many women's companion shirts have V-neck and johnny collars. Ladies polos are designed for women with shorter hem and sleeve lengths, slimmer plackets and contoured body measurements. Many women's polo shirts are available in more feminine shades such as pistachio and pale pink.
New collar styles for ladies allow women to coordinate with male counterparts without feeling like they are wearing a man's shirt. Many women love the new options but some groups find it easier to use a standard placket so they order more smaller sizes for the women. In addition to the traditional short sleeve polo, polos are available in long sleeves, with pockets and long sleeves with pockets. Most pocket and long sleeve styles have a companion short sleeve, pocket-less style.
Coordinating Similar Polo Styles - Some polos come with coordinating pocket, long sleeve and long sleeve pocket styles so everyone maintain a uniform look through the year. Coordinating Button Down Shirts - If you need polo shirts that coordinate with button down shirts then you can choose a coordinating polo that has the same color options. Logo Placement - Most polo shirts are embroidered with a left chest logo but a logo can be placed on the right side.
Right side placement is often used when there is a pocket on the left side although the logo can be embroidered above the pocket.
Individual names can be located on the right side or underneath a logo if there is room. Additional logos can be placed on either sleeve or below the collar on the back with the most common placement being on the right side to balance a left chest logo. Logo Sizing - Most left chest logos heart sized range from 2. Logos that are tall and wide are sized a bit smaller so they don't look too big on smaller sized shirts. Single line logos can be 4" wide but not much longer. Sleeve logos are generally smaller than left chest logos.
Logos embroidered behind the collar shouldn't be too big or "stitch intensive" because polo shirts aren't heavy enough to support a lot of stitches. Large "full back" designs should be embroidered on heavier garments where the thicker material is more able to support a large number of stitches.
Firstly, skip the undershirt. Polo shirts were intended to be a cool, airy sports shirt for tennis, so it is a base layer item. If you feel like there is a need for an undershirt, you may consider upgrading your polo to one that is made of thicker cotton. While polo shirts do have three buttons, it is advised to not button fully to the top or leave all the buttons undone.
Think about buttoning your polo with a happy medium in mind and leave one or two open. And finally, popping the collar is currently not a trend. That ship sailed in the mids and is not likely to return any time soon. Keep your collar folded over and clean. This layout not only looks neat and professional, but also brings attention to your face and smile. And finally, never wear an athletic polo as streetwear. Now that you know what not to do, you can use some expert tricks to wear your polo in all social settings — from game day to an important business meeting.
For starters, polos can be worn alone and untucked with jeans or shorts to fit any casual situation, from a barbecue to a birthday party.
