Men's Polos are a passepartout, an elegant garment that never goes out of style. Perfect to wear even in summer, when the scorching heat risks putting your elegance to the test.
History of Polo
This type of garment was born in the 20s, in white. It was a short-sleeved shirt that was worn tucked into jeans. From that moment it became a trend, brands and designers over the years have had fun proposing this garment in different colors and patterns. There are many outfits that can be created with a men's polo, from the most casual, perfect for work, to the elegant suit. The Polo is often the protagonist of the most important fashion shows.
Clothing with polo
To match a men's polo shirt, the most important thing to consider when choosing a suit with a Polo shirt is neither the fabric (which should be chosen carefully anyway) nor the color, but the fit. When you wear it, it must fit you perfectly, it must not be tight but, at the same time, you must not ride in it. The sleeve must reach halfway up the bicep and must not be too tight. As for the back , the edge of the garment must never reach below the buttocks. Finally, the seam of the sleeve must perfectly match the shoulder attachment. The side slits help you evaluate the right fit and understand whether that model should be worn tucked in or out of the pants. Choose symmetrical slits rather than asymmetrical ones, if you want to use it both tucked in and out of the pants. A Polo shirt with asymmetrical slits, if worn outside the pants, gives you a sloppier and certainly less elegant look.
The Polo in the office look
In summer, the long-sleeved shirt can easily be replaced by the Polo. You can wear it in two ways: as an under-jacket, tucked into the trousers, or left out to match with a nice pair of loafers, perhaps in leather. In the first case, choose a slim Polo model, specifically designed not to weigh down the look. Add a leather belt, a pair of lace-ups and a sophisticated and elegant watch. On the one hand, you will have a glam-chic look, on the other, casual.
The Polo for a casual look
The Polo was almost designed for casual looks. On these occasions the perfect match is with Bermuda shorts. Choose models in light shades and breathable fabrics, to which you can match a simple but elegant model of boat shoe. Focus on items that, when combined together, give an urban and dynamic image and that embrace the sporty soul of the Polo. In this way it will not seem like a banal men's T-shirt but will have class and will give you an unmistakable style.
Smart Outfits for Informal Events
The Polo for men is also perfect for informal events where you still want to make a good impression and stay casual. Choose a model of branded men's polo, made of refined fabrics, such as silk or fine cotton, and favor embroidery or precious textures. For trousers instead, focus on navy chinos or suede moccasins.
A men's wardrobe is not complete if it does not contain at least two or three polo shirts, of different models and colors. For recreational moments, prefer striped or patterned models. For trips out of town or boat trips, instead, go for navy blue or khaki and navy-style combinations.
