Don’t Wear Polo Shirts with a Blazer

Some men think they look smart sporting a polo shirt with a blazer, even though the soft collar doesn’t lay flat. No matter what situation you are in, a blazer will always look better with a dress shirt. Therefore, skip the polo and go right to the shirt.

Avoid (Large) Logos

Recently a trend has hit with large oversized logos appearing on polo shirts. It started with Ralph Lauren and has progressed to other brands. Normally, at Gentleman’s Gazette, we advocate avoiding visible logos at all costs, but when it comes to polo shirts, having a small logo on the breast is often unavoidable since it has become the standard. Some companies offer logos that are tone in tone with the knit, which is preferable to contrasting logos. In any case, the oversized logos are nothing short of atrocious. Unless you wear one as part of your work uniform, leave the logos to the kids.

Don’t Pop Your Collar. You’re Not

That trend of popping your collar is over, and it’s not coming back. Unless you’re lifting it to protect your neck from the sun, just keep it down. That and wear sunscreen, so you don’t have to pop it in the first place. Popping your collar is kind of like wearing sunglasses at night. Leave it for the bar crowd and teenagers trying to look cool

Size Them to Your Height

Unless you have a penchant for wearing dresses, make sure the tail of the shirt doesn’t go midway past your buttocks. Not only will it crumple and show when tucked in, but it looks plain ridiculous if left untucked. Also, avoid tennis tails if you plan to wear your polo shirt untucked.

Wear them fitted bit not tight

If you can’t stick a finger between your bicep and your sleeve, get a bigger size. If there’s a lot of flack, get a smaller size. Good quality polo shirts are made from light materials like cotton. Therefore, they should drape nicely over your body without showing your body.

Never Wear an Undershirt

A properly fitted polo shirt is tight but not too tight, and it’s just long enough in all the right places. Wearing an undergarment almost guarantees it will slip from under your sleeve or crumple at the collar. Polo shirts aren’t made for undershirts and undershirts should never be worn with a polo shirt. Just wear a bit more deodorant or carry an extra shirt with you.

Polo Shirt Etiquette – DO’s & DON’Ts

Let’s face it. People wear polo shirts interchangeably with everything from dress slacks to ripped denim jeans. They wear them stained with ketchup and ill-fitting to football games and perfectly tailored under a navy blazer to dinner on a yacht. Even James Bond is famous for wearing his Sunspel polo shirts which pair perfectly with his Rolex Submariner or Omega Seamaster.

Despite this broad use of the shirt, there are a few rules we must impart on the elegantly dress, desynme help you look dapper.
