What is “basic style”? According to my understanding, it refers to classic items in daily life such as solid color T-shirts, POLO shirts, and jeans that are common but never go out of style. But it is precisely because most people are misled by the name “basic style”. The more they think it is a basic style, the more they ignore its importance. Just like POLO shirts, they are called “old-fashioned cultural shirts” and “old man shirts” The title, young people keep a distance from it. In fact, the problem lies in the choice of POLO shirt.

POLO shirt

POLO shirt originated from tennis. It was originally made by a man who has won many championships. Lnie Lacoste launches collared sweatshirts under its own brand Lacoste. Since the upper body will continue to twist when swinging the racket when playing tennis, the design is based on the premise that it does not need to be tucked into pants. The hem is long in the back, short in the front, and has a small opening on the side. This hem design allows the wearer to avoid wrinkles caused by the long front hem of ordinary T-shirts when sitting down.
