Polo Shirts

[DoubleO7]

Polo shirts are amazingly comfortable, look better than t-shirts and go with everything. They are also the perfect compromise between casual and formal. What do you think?

They are casual. I've never been a big wrap. Like a T-shirt that's trying too hard to be classy. Fail Polo shirt, fail! Get a grip, you're a t-shirt with a floppy collar and thats all you'll ever be!

Not a big fan, really the only time I'll wear one is when playing golf.

If yer going classy, just wear a plain black T. No need for the collar Can go with jeans, dress pants, whatever...

The husband agrees with you 100%. He haunts Rivers. He's even bought 2 identical polos and had a friend shorten the arms of one; so now he has the summer and the winter version. He hates t-shirts- finds them too restrictive around the neck.

+1 for plain T's.

I agree but not when douchebags wear them with the collars up. ****

I must say I am in the camp that say if it's dressy then shirt at all other times T-shirts.

There are of course exceptions. For example at work if I am making a customer service call I will wear a company polo. Or for fairly casual meetings.

Btw, I do think you're allowed to wear them once you get to a certain age. Maybe 45ish? E.g. an old sailor with a grey moustache rocking a polo shirt is pimpalicious imo.

^^^ into the 40s or Preppy, Ivy League, yacht cruising, boat-shoe wearing, snazzy-jazzy side to side dancing and clicking dance type white college jock. Collar up, chinos and a lemon jumper loosely tied around the neck.

I've got a couple, but they are hidden in the drawers, not on open display.

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

Sam Newman wears them. Case closed.

I was gonna put a vote towards polos, I used to wear them a bit a few years ago but don't anymore (always collar down though), until I saw that pic. Firmly a t-shirt guy.

Nup, go the regular tee anyday. Especially if you have a hairy chest. Nothing worse than a dude with a hairy chest flaunting it in a polo.

If yer going classy, just wear a plain black T. No need for the collar Can go with jeans, dress pants, whatever...

Thats it Love the black tee and jeans. My missus is always giving me grief coz of it. "why can't you wear more colours??" - f-ark that, black works.

I agree but not when douchebags wear them with the collars up. ****

Gotta agree, absolutely pathetic when guys do that. All the trendy footy jocks used to wear the polos colars up at high school back in the day. I used to pay the sh!t out of them for doing it - and cop it back too. I feel vindicated. Terrible fashion trend.

Hmm... I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that your use of the word "pimpalicious" is an automatic "cool"-disqualifier.

Your opinion will no longer be valid in discussions of fashion, art or culture. Sorry JV.

Don't mind me V-Money. I was just playa-hating for shits and giggles. I'm fully aware that I'll never have that certain je ne sais quoi required to pull off a crisp popped collar

Mind you, perhaps one day you could teach me to pull it off. We'll get our Ralph Lauren on, lean casually on some masts, and have a gay old time. Just give me a chance.

MDC on the right and Vinnie on the left.

 

[DWil6]

See Vinnie, in the above picture, wearing that button up bowling shirt... that's a whole nother can o' worms! Mind you, based on that show / documentary.. Vinnie has game with the ladies. So he must be doing something right!

The Surgeon General warns polo shirt wearing can lead to this.

Sorry - But I'm hardly a "yar, me maties" type.

I went looking for an example of the way I might dress, and realised that I'm the white version of Common:

Right down to the shaved head and beard.

 

[mdc]

Ooh, then we might get along. You see, I'm the white Dwyane Wade:

 

[Old Spice]

And I'm Chris de Burgh

 

[DWil6]

Well we have something in common, lads! Cause I'm the white Screech!

 

[Blur]

I think the majority of polo-shirt-wearers look as if they're trying to promote some sort of man fragrance/cologne. Not a good thing.

I don't see what's wrong with a normal T-shirt? I've been wearing them all my life and I've had no problems? What's the need for a collar, anyway? A part from people putting it up to look like ********s?

Please - The white Dwyane Wade is just biting the white Jay-Z's style:

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I'm more like the white Tom Selleck.

Seriously though, I wear a polo every day to work, whenever I'm on the golf course, or whenever I'm walking through the gates at the MCC members. I wouldn't normally choose to wear one, and I absolutely loathe the collar-up look. Mark Waugh I am not.
