The polo shirt really can’t deny its history. Tennis player René Lacoste developed a lighter sports shirt that was inspired by the light shirts worn by Indian polo players. The combination of elegant shirt and casual t-shirt quickly struck a chord beyond the tennis court, gaining fans and followers alike. There was nothing stopping the success of the polo shirt and we love this fashion staple that makes our choice of outfit so simple in the morning.
Fashion facts about the polo shirt
What makes a shirt a polo shirt? Let us show you what makes a real polo shirt:
The modern polo shirt has a little, finely ribbed collar, often in a different colour to the rest of the shirt – a real eye-catcher.
The short button front on the collar must not be done up completely, otherwise the outfit will quickly seem staid and doesn’t live up to the polo shirt’s more casual character.
In contrast with a normal t-shirt, the sleeves aren’t simply forgotten about, but rather are finished with a narrow hem that reflects the colour of the collar.
It’s all down to personal taste as to whether you opt for a breast pocket or not – after all, most of the pockets are just patch pockets.
A traditional polo shirt has short sleeves, therefore accentuating the casual style of this garment.
Polo shirts are made from piqué fabric, a cotton fabric with a woven waffle structure – it may not be edible, but it’s super light!
Polo shirts: cuts and fits
For whom are polo shirts suitable? For everyone! Thanks to the casual fits, there is the right design for every shape.
It’s important that the polo shirt sits at hip-height and the sleeves stop approximately 10 cm above the elbows.
For narrower body shapes, slim fit polo shirts are suitable. The shirt flatters the body and must not be too tight. This can also easily hide a couple of kilos.
The modern fit is suitable for average body shapes and offers everything a polo shirt needs.
Polo shirts don’t pose a problem for larger men, either. However, in this instance, you should avoid large patterns or horizontal stripes.
Dos and Don’ts for polo shirts
Even with a simple item of clothing such as a polo shirt, there are certain things to bear in mind so you don’t fall into a fashion trap:
DOS
Be courageous! Polo shirts are available in many colours and patterns. Add colour to your outfit and turn your shirt into something eye-catching. Don’t overload your outfit – ensure the rest of your look features muted colours without any patterns.
Are you looking for a super casual outfit? Then a polo shirt should be your first choice. Pair with simple chinos and comfortable sneakers to create your next after-work outfit :)
Don’ts
The collar on a polo shirt is always down. Thankfully, the days when an upturned collar was seen as a fashion statement are long gone. Anyone who dresses stylishly, turns the collar down.
Don’ts
Even if your new shirt still looks great: never wear a tie with your polo shirt. For special occasions, you’re better off choosing a business shirt.
Don’ts
Polo shirts are traditionally worn loosely over the top of trousers. For stockier men in particular, a shirt that is tucked into trousers quickly rides up and no longer flatters the figure.
