Like shirts and T-shirts, polo shirts have always been a common item in men’s summer wardrobes. But it is accompanied by various prejudices. Some people would rather wear short-sleeved shirts or the same T-shirts than try POLO shirts. The reason is that under the influence of some people, we feel that it is quite vulgar, business-like and old-fashioned. Isn’t it just a grandpa shirt?

However, POLO shirts have not been eliminated for so long, which is enough to witness its classic status among men’s clothing.

Similarly, if you can wear the more “stereotypical” POLO shirt, believe me, it will also give you more surprises this summer.

Having said so much, how can we control it well without looking old-fashioned?

1. Selection of layout

First of all, there is the issue of choosing a pattern. Many people know this: sleeves are the key to wearing a POLO shirt well. The cuffs fit the arms, and people with slightly muscular arm circumference will look better wearing them.

However, don’t pay more attention to the shoulder line than the cuffs. The shoulder line of a POLO shirt must fit your shoulders, regardless of whether your shoulders are wide or narrow. Once it is too loose, coupled with the dull style of POLO, it will obviously make people think that you are procrastinating and lack of energy.

If you are a muscular man, then when choosing a Polo shirt, you would rather have a slightly tighter fit. You heard it right, in fact, the well-developed and obvious muscle lines are the perfect “arms” for Polo.

It is not recommended that you choose a style that narrows the waist too much and highlights the bust. This style may make you look slimmer, but it also leaves an image of being too restrictive and tight to others. A waist that goes straight up and down is the best.

Not recommended to be too tight

In terms of length, no matter what type of body type men are, if they do not plan to tuck it into the waistband of their pants, the hem of the Polo shirt should not exceed For the buttocks, the best position is just above the waistband (belt).

Not recommended for too long

Polo shirts that are too long will shift your body’s center of gravity downwards, making you “cumbersome” and not energetic, so you must avoid them.

2. The choice of color

This actually depends on your skin color and temperament, but I can give you some suggestions.

If you have dark skin, you should avoid colors that are too dark, such as earthy brown, burgundy, and dark gray wait. If your skin is yellowish, choosing a color with higher saturation can brighten your skin color to a certain extent, such as white, yellow, light blue, etc.

The basic three-color Polo, such as black, white and gray, is safe for everyone. It is the easiest color to control and does not show any flaws. If you like basic models, you might as well choose from these three colors.

Especially for the white Polo, add a pair of white trousers to the bottom to create an all-white look. The elegance and cleanness of the outfit is its strongest expression of personality. The fresh and pleasant feeling is very suitable for choice in hot weather.

The elegant blue color is also worth recommending. In fact, dark blue and light blue give people two different styles. If the dark blue Polo is more noble and quality, with a sense of tranquility, then the light blue represents youthful vitality and has a sense of escape and agility.

If you are bold, you can also choose a contrasting style with partial thick stripes. In fact, partial stripes are not as difficult to control as you think. Try the matching method like the picture below, using a casual-style jacket to reduce the formal feel of the POLO shirt, so as to achieve a coordination effect.

3. Selection of fabrics

Many people don’t wear high-end Polo. In addition to the problems mentioned above, it also depends on On the basic fabric. For example, some fabrics with a mercerized feel are often the source of the “rustic feel”.

Polo’s fabric selection is best to highlight the texture of its surface, such as loose weave fabrics. The obvious texture can not only ensure breathability, but also give Polo’s thin short-sleeved shirt enough “weight” , visually it looks much thicker.

Nowadays, POLO can come in a variety of materials. It is recommended not to choose polyester fiber, that is, polyester. If it is a blended fabric, at least the content should not be too much. Because polyester is a relatively reflective material, it will look too mature if used to make POLO shirts. Many dads and grandparents’ POLO shirts on the market are basically like this.

It is recommended to use safe pure cotton materials, or other knitted styles that can highlight the texture.
