Polo T Shirts

As far as you can possibly remember I am sure you have seen, worn or been gifted polo t shirts by a loved one before. These shirts have been around since the late 19th century. At this time they were only really worn by tennis players, polo riders, rugby players and on an occasional golf outing.

Now however, that has completely changed. It seems everyone is wearing them from business casual wear at an office, school uniforms for the children and of course they are more widely scene in the sports world as well.

What Are Polo T Shirts?

There is mixed communication about what original polo t shirts consist of. Some people think it is the 2 to 3 buttons and short sleeves; others on the other hand have to see that little croc emblem to believe it is a real polo. The fact is they are both polos, just different styles.

Just like the materials they are actually made out of differs as well. Some polo t shirts are made of knitted cloth, some are made of cotton. None on the other hand are made with silk, tweed or wool. That is due mainly to the wear and tear of them. Knitted cloth and cotton are much more durable and can take the constant wear and tear set on them in sports or work. The others would be too uncomfortable to even attempt.

How To Wear Polo T Shirts

The basic casual dress at schools and work include nicely ironed polo t shirts with a pair of khaki pants with a crisp seam as well. This is ideal wear in the spring and summer months as you can use pastel colors to accentuate the climates elements as well. In fact many men and women like to double their polo shirts depending on the feeling they have that morning when they wake.

A nice spring day you may wear a pink polo under a yellow polo and have a nice layered look with a pair of freshly ironed jeans and white tennis shoes. However, you can really wear polo t shirts regardless of the weather if you layer properly.
