Frequently asked questions
How should a polo shirt fit?
A polo should sit close to the shoulders with the seam at the edge of your shoulder, skim the chest without pulling, and end around mid-fly so it can be worn tucked or untucked. The sleeves should finish mid-bicep and hug the arm without gripping.
What is the difference between slim and muscle fit?
A slim fit tapers evenly through the chest and waist for a trim line that suits leaner builds. A muscle fit adds room at the chest and shoulders then tapers sharply at the waist, so it flatters a more athletic, gym-built frame.
Should a polo be tucked in or left out?
Either works if the length is right. A polo that ends around the mid-fly can be left untucked for smart-casual wear or tucked for a sharper, dressier look. Avoid tucking a very long or very short polo, as the proportions look off.
