Recently, polo shirts are frequently worn for all kinds of functions, events among others. Men, women and even children are able to wear polo shirts. The name ‘polo’ came about because in the 1800s, polo players were the ones that designed this shirt which they wore as uniforms when they play the game. Soon after, it became popular for tennis, golf and now as a casual wear also.

The most noticeable and best feature of the polo shirt is that it is manufactured from a pique knit material which makes it very comfortable to wear. The material is breathable, allowing air to get inside to keep the body cool when the days are hot. Rene Lacoste broke the custom of this shirt being only worn by polo players to games and matches by wearing one when she played tennis in 1926.

You should ensure that the collar, sleeve length and opening as well as the shoulder width are in proportioned and fit you correctly. The female’s polo is generally cut to give a slim or classic fit. The slim fit type is form-fitting while the classic fit comes with a front placket with two buttons and a little more space in the chest area. For the men, the body adapted to the polo’s shape. The brands of polo shirts include Nike, UCC, Gildan, Hanes, Dewalt and Dickies.

The most comfortable and common polo shirt is the one made from cotton. The pique knit polo shirts are a little coarser in texture and feel heavier than the polos with interlock cotton which are smooth. These polos wrinkle very easily though, and may noticeably shrink if washed in a machine. The performance polos are worn by golf and tennis players when there is a competition. These are designed to endure in severe weather, resistant to sweat and may include UV protection which is built in. The Jersey knit polos are kind of like the performance polo – casual wear and breathable material – but it is lower in quality. They are easier to embroider than the others but can become worn out quicker than the other polos. The silk types are generally used for formal occasions. The material is smooth and shiny and shimmers in light. It is great to wear under any sports jacket. However, they are not recommended for wearing for daily activities or sports as they are not really breathable. The high visibility polos come in several fluorescent colours such as yellow, bright green and orange. They are ideal for situations that calls for high visibility of the wearer and can be used for promoting the shirt because they are quite noticeable.
