Off the Court: Polo Shirts That Don’t Require Athleticism

Although synonymous with tennis pros and golfers, you don’t have to be an athlete to own a polo shirt. Your closet is worthy of the preppy staple as that of any champion’s.

From Ralph Lauren to Lacoste, there is a range of polo shirts at your hand that are begging to be combined with pieces other than gym shorts and khakis. Take a chance on the polo shirt with the styling tactics below and we promise you’ll do more than score a hole in one in it.

Tuck It In

A polo shirt, like a button-down shirt, is a key layering piece in your closet that gives you plenty of options as to how it can be styled. A fitted polo shirt with a long hem should be tucked in for a more polished look. Do so with a neutral polo shirt and sport a patterned crew neck sweater to add interest.

Mix Master

From cotton to knit, the fabric of a polo shirt has as much impact on your ensemble as any other feature. Experiment with fabrics by swapping out your khakis for a pair of leather pants for a modern take on the polo shirt. No matter the cut or fit, leather pants will make you rethink the idea that your polo shirts can’t be edgy.

Points for Formality

The polo shirt’s reputation as a key component of any prepster’s uniform goes without reason. A well-fitted polo shirt underneath a blazer is enough to enhance any outfit sans tie. Simply button up the polo shirt for a polished detail.

A crisp polo shirt is all you need to refine your wardrobe. Once stocked up, you’ll realize how easy styling a polo shirt really is – a lot simpler than winning a tournament.
