The classic casual look
Despite the fact that a polo shirt can sometimes come across as dressed up, it's a perfect garment for casual outfits. For example, you can easily combine a white polo shirt with dark blue jeans. Then wear white sneakers or boots to finish off your outfit. This look is especially suitable when you go to lunch with friends or for a weekend away.
Business casual style
The polo shirt is smart enough to also wear at work, depending on what kind of office outfit is desired, of course. Wear a polo shirt in a neutral colour, such as with a grey polo or navy polo, together with a trendy blazer for a professional appearance. Combine it with smart leather shoes and a matching belt. This outfit is perfect for informal office environments.
The sporty style
The men's polo shirt was originally designed for playing tennis comfortably during the summer. So it's no surprise that many men wear their polo in a sporty way. For example, you can wear the men's polo with joggers or stylish shorts. This way you have enough freedom of movement for a day of golf or during an active men's weekend.
The summer look
Naturally, polo shirts are ideal to incorporate into summery outfits. For example, you can combine a pastel-coloured polo shirt with linen trousers or shorts for an airy look. You can even choose to wear flip-flops or leather sandals with it to get fully in the mood. This is the perfect outfit during a beach holiday or a relaxed barbecue with friends.
The winter look
You wouldn't expect it, but polo shirts are also excellent to incorporate into wintry outfits. For example, you can choose a long-sleeved polo shirt and combine it with dark jeans and a leather jacket for extra warmth and a rugged accent in your outfit. With this, you can head out in style during changeable autumn days or take a walk during mild winters.
How to wear polo shirts in style
Nice, all those combinations, but how do you wear a men's polo in a stylish way? For this, you need to look at the fit of the shirt. Make sure it doesn't sit too tight or too loose around your body, with 2 to 5 cm of room around your torso. Wearing a polo feels like a T-shirt, with the seams resting on your shoulders. The sleeves sit snugly around the arms without pinching. In addition, the fabric of the polo shirt stops just below your belt. A few last tips so that you set off well prepared:
- You wear one polo shirt at a time with nothing underneath
- You still wear the collar of men's polos folded and down
- Avoid a breast pocket, unless you're going to use it
- You fasten at least one button for extra class
- A polo shirt tucked into the trousers is formal, worn outside the trousers is informal
