The Perfect Fit
Polo shirts are a stylish clothing item and can create a contemporary look, but it’s important to pick out the right size for your desire look. Ensure you have enough room to comfortably move in the shirt, without sizing up too drastically. As a general rule, the polo shoulder seams should match up with the natural apex of your shoulder, and not droop on to the upper arm.
Styling Your Polo Shirt
Built for much more than sport, polo shirts can be styled for a wide range of occasions. Wear them with jeans and leather sneakers for a relaxed look, or layer over a tailored jacket and wear with smart trousers for semi-formal events.
Men’s Polo Shirts FAQs
Should polo shirts be worn tucked in?
- Polo shirts can be worn tucked in or untucked, depending on the occasion and your own personal style. Tucking in your polo shirt gives a more formal, tailored appearance, suitable for business casual settings or relaxed formal events, as it accentuates the waistline and creates a cleaner silhouette. Untucked polo shirts contribute to a relaxed, casual look when paired with casual jeans or men’s shorts, perfect for leisure activities, sports or informal events. You should also consider the length of the polo shirt and the overall outfit's formality. Slim-fitting polos generally look neater tucked in, while looser styles can be left untucked for comfort.
How long should a polo shirt be if worn untucked?
- The best length for an untucked polo shirt is around the mid to lower hip, ensuring that the hem covers your waistband and comes to about midway down the buttons or zipper of your pants. This length helps to create a smart, polished silhouette and prevents the shirt from looking untidy. Untucked polo shirts are often best suited to relaxed pants, including straight leg jeans, chinos and relaxed fit trousers.
What do you wear on top of polo shirts?
- While polo shirts can be worn on their own for a variety of outfits, they can also be layered to evoke a relaxed look or smart-casual style. A classic option is a lightweight men’s sweater or a V-neck jumper for a refined yet effortless look. A denim or leather jacket can also be worn over a polo shirt to create a contemporary style. For a more formal ensemble, pair a blazer or a sportscoat with a polo shirt to create a polished, put-together look. During colder months, a quilted vest or a puffer jacket can be worn over a polo shirt for warmth and comfort without sacrificing style.
Which buttons should be buttoned up on a polo shirt?
- Polo shirts can be worn in a variety of styles, and this extends to how you choose to button your shirt. The polo shirts in the R.M.Williams men’s range are designed with two buttons and can be comfortably worn with just one or both buttons fastened. For a relaxed, casual look, fasten the lower button and let the collar sit naturally open. This style is suitable for sporting activities and casual outings, as it ensures your outfit is more breathable and looks relaxed. For formal settings, it is often a better choice to wear your polo shirt with both buttons fastened and the collar neatly folded.
