A polo shirt, also known as a golf shirt and formerly as a tennis shirt, is a T-shaped shirt with a collar, typically two or three buttons down a slit below the collar, and an optional pocket. A zipper may substitute for buttons, or neither may be present. Polo shirts are usually made of knitted cloth (rather than woven cloth), usually pique cotton or, less commonly, silk, merino wool, or synthetic fibers.
For occasions where the T-shirt is much too informal and it just doesn't seem to make sense to dress it up with a collared shirt, the polo is a wonderful substitute that brings comfort and durability to the table. Due to the popularity of the business-casual concept with many employers nowadays, the polo shirt has made a return to popularity for both the young and the young at heart.
The polo shirt really reaches it's maximum effect when worn casually – it is perfect with jeans, casual pants, and even corduroy! As a matter of fact one of the neatest looks for the fall and winter season is to match a nice pair of corduroy pants to an accompanying polo shirt – perhaps a dark, thick guage corduroy in a shade of chocolate laid out with soft ivory or cream coloured polo. This combination looks great with sneakers for the younger set or with loafers for the older gentlemen.
Pink polo shirts recently were thrust back into the spotlight, heralding a new era of extreme popularity amongst college students and other young men – this popularity extends into the time of the writing of this article and now includes many striped polo's in blues, greens, tans, and browns from trendy mall outlets such as Blue notes or American eagle.
Long-sleeved polo shirts are also an increasingly popular option, especially given the approaching breath and bite of Old Man Winter! The long sleeved polo is usually presented to men in solid colours, although stripes are also coming into fashion in this type of style – this season especially. A long-sleeved polo also makes an excellent gift in that many men do not often think of this possibility in the colder months – many men are in fact not even aware that polo shirts come in a long-sleeved variety!
In many circles, wearing a polo shirt with a necktie and jeans is quickly becoming something of a statement, especially in indie circles or those who have a more eclectic or relaxed attitude toward modern fashion.
Typically this is done with a solid coloured, 100% cotton polo shirt that does not have a button down collar. Popular choices include black polo's matched with a striking white tie, lighter shades of blue matched with red, white, or pink, and of course the ubiquitous pink polo shirt worn with a black or white necktie.
Polo shirts are inexpensive, durable, and are useful in nearly all seasons, for nearly all occasions. Next to denim, the polo shirt in a variety of colours and stripes are an essential in any man's wardrobe.
