They are very versatile. Polo shirts bridge the gap between casual tees and dress shirts. You can wear a solid, well-fitting polo with jeans or chinos for casual wear, or tuck it into tailored trousers under a blazer for smart-casual occasions.

Look for 100% cotton (especially piqué or combed cotton) for classic breathability and texture or cotton-polyester blends and performance fabrics with moisture-wicking and wrinkle-resistant features for active or travel-friendly wear.

Some frequent errors are choosing a polo that’s too long and creates excess fabric bunching, wearing overly large logos or graphics, or selecting a fit that’s too tight or too loose.
