FAQs
Are polo shirts business casual?
Yes, the polo shirt is a cornerstone of modern business casual attire. For a workplace-ready look, select a polo with a polished, structured collar—like a Sweater Polo or a modern Ribbed Quarter Zip Polo—and pair it with tailored chinos or 5-pocket pants.
What are the best polo shirts for summer?
The best polo shirts for summer are those engineered for breathability. Look for lightweight fabrics like premium cotton and cotton blends, or smooth viscose blends found in many of our ribbed quarter-zip polos and sweater polos. These materials provide superior airflow and a light, comfortable feel.
How should a polo shirt fit?
Understanding how a polo shirt should fit is essential for a modern, tailored look.
- Shoulders: The shoulder seams should sit precisely on your shoulder bone.
- Sleeves: The sleeves should hit around the mid-bicep and be comfortably snug.
- Torso: The polo should skim your body, allowing for easy movement. The goal is a balance of comfort and a clean, confident silhouette you'll find in all our Modern Fit Polos.
What are breathable polo shirts made of?
Breathable polo shirts are crafted from materials chosen for superior airflow. Classic 100% cotton and cotton blends are timeless, breathable options. Modern ribbed polos often use lightweight viscose blends that drape well and feel cool, while our sweater polos offer a polished look with all-season comfort.
What's the difference between piqué and jersey polos?
The main difference in piqué vs. jersey polo shirts is the fabric's texture. While piqué is a classic, textured knit and jersey is a flat, t-shirt-like knit, our selection of modern polos offer many more sophisticated options.
What are performance polos?
While "performance polo" often refers to athletic wear, we believe all our modern polos are performance-ready for life. They are made with innovative cotton blends and smooth, flexible knits that offer comfort, versatility, and wrinkle resistance. They are an effortless solution for a life in motion—from a busy travel day to a polished evening out.
How can I style a polo shirt?
Knowing how to style a polo shirt unlocks its true versatility.
- For Casual: Pair a classic polo with shorts or dark denim and a pair of classic sneakers.
- For Business Casual: Tuck a sweater polo or ribbed polo into tailored chinos.
- For an Evening Event: Wear a stylish Geo Metric Polo under a modern Sport Coat or Blazer.
Should polo shirts be tucked in or untucked?
Deciding should polo shirts be tucked in depends on the occasion and the polo's cut.
- Tuck In: For any business casual setting, tucking your polo in creates a clean, intentional silhouette. This works especially well with sweater polos.
- Leave Untucked: For a casual look, leave it untucked. This works best with modern-fit polos from our main collection.
How do I wash a polo without shrinking it?
Knowing how to wash a polo shirt correctly is key to maintaining its fit, color, and shape.
- Prep: Button (or zip) the polo up and turn it inside out.
- Wash: Use a gentle cycle with cold water.
- Dry: Avoid the high heat of a dryer. Reshape the polo and lay it flat to dry, especially for sweater polos and ribbed knits.
How do I dress up a polo shirt?
Knowing how to dress up a polo transforms it into a sophisticated evening staple. The solution is in the silhouette. Start with a polished, fitted polo—a Sweater Polo or a Ribbed Zip Polo is ideal. Layer it under a well-tailored blazer or sport coat. Complete the look with dress pants.
