The must-have polo shirts for the season and beyond
So, you’ve heard of polos and you’re wondering why you need to invest in them… Well, let us tell you exactly why. Remember when you needed to look put together and a tee just wouldn’t do. And there's no considering wearing a dress shirt— no, that’s just too formal.
Well, polos are what you’re looking for—the perfect modern casual and tailored in-between. Dress them up, dress them down. Style them however you want.
POLITIX is always here to be your wingman so we’re all about making things easy for you. So here’s everything you need to know about polos.
What makes a good quality polo shirt?
A good quality polo shirt is really all about fabric and fit. You always want something made from Cotton or a high Cotton blend, so that it’s breathable and comfortable. See our range of knit polos made from 100% Cotton.
How should a polo shirt fit?
Polo shirts should fit snug on the shoulders and chest. The sleeves should almost fall mid-bicep, anything higher or lower than that could look ill-fitting and less polished.
Can you wear a polo shirt to work or formal events?
Formal events
Polo shirts are versatile enough to be worn at a formal event. We would advise choosing a half-zip polo shirt in a solid muted colour, let the rest of your outfit be the statement. Make sure to tuck in your shirt to create a polished look.
Semi-formal
Polo shirts pair well with blazers, chinos and loafers. For modern dressing, we recommend styling a trophy neck polo with a neck scarf. For warmer days, replace your chinos with chino shorts and complete the look with sneakers or sandals.
Modern casual
Polos were originally made for casual looks. If you’re opting for something more casual, think about the fabrics you’re pairing it with. A polo shirt with Linen Gurkha shorts and a modern bomber jacket is a perfect example of a weekend/ off-duty outfit. Complete the look with a cap and white sneakers.
