Donning one is an easy way to level up your look when the occasion calls for something a notch above a t-shirt.<\/p>\n<p>But that ease can lead to complacency, and the polo often ends up in some very unstylish territory.<\/p>\n<p>A guy needs a collared shirt for an event, grabs one off the rack at Kohl\u2019s, throws it on thoughtlessly \u2014 and ends up looking like a middle manager at Acme Co.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe that\u2019s okay if you\u2019re about to give a PowerPoint presentation on Q3 sales, but a lot of guys would like to look sharper in a polo for social occasions, and even at work.<\/p>\n<p>If you want yours to read as more stylish and handsome than boring and corporate, follow these five guidelines:<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h.lzjwhc5955ty\">1. Dial in the Fit<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-189693\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2025\/05\/polo-fit2.jpg\" alt=\"Three men show how to wear a polo shirt in navy, blue, and brown, each paired with light-colored pants\u2014offering effortless style tips against varied backgrounds.\" width=\"620\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2025\/05\/polo-fit2.jpg 620w, https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2025\/05\/polo-fit2-320x102.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Middle Manager Move:<\/strong>&nbsp;Oversized polos with sleeves hanging past the elbow and bodies billowing like sails.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manly Upgrade: <\/strong>As with any garment, fit is king \u2014 and that&#8217;s especially true with the polo, where a loose, shapeless cut only adds to the shirt\u2019s reputation as an afterthought. Instead of swimming in a sloppy shirt that hides your build, opt for a polo that flatters your frame with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A slim-but-not-tight silhouette.<\/li>\n<li>Sleeves that hit mid-bicep and hug the arm a little.<\/li>\n<li>Length that lands mid-fly \u2014 long enough to tuck, short enough to leave out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h.lqzf63qs79fx\">2. Choose Classic Fabrics<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Middle Manager Move:<\/strong> Shiny, synthetic polos with moisture-wicking sheen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manly Upgrade: <\/strong>Tech fabric exudes an air of the office and suburban-dad-dom. So save the shiny polos for the golf course, and choose polos made with traditional pique cotton or jersey knit. Jersey and pique cotton offer structure without stiffness and a texture that looks classic and inviting.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h.xn9syiz9372z\">3. Dress It With Intention<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-189691\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2025\/05\/intention-1.jpg\" alt=\"Demonstrating polo shirt style, three men each wear a polo shirt with different pants\u2014jeans and loafers, dress pants and sneakers, or chinos with red sneakers\u2014showcasing how to wear a polo shirt in versatile ways.\" width=\"620\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2025\/05\/intention-1.jpg 620w, https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2025\/05\/intention-1-320x210.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Middle Manager Move: <\/strong>Wearing a polo as part of a generic business-casual getup \u2014 tucked into pleated khakis, paired with a braided belt and boxy dress shoes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manly Upgrade: <\/strong>You want to treat&nbsp;the polo like a grown-up essential, not a placeholder. Give some thought to how you wear it and what you wear it with by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pairing it with tailored chinos, trousers, or well-fitting jeans.<\/li>\n<li>Adding refined-yet-relaxed footwear: loafers, chukka boots, clean sneakers.<\/li>\n<li>Accessorizing with a cool bracelet or watch (or both, like Clark Gable above)<\/li>\n<li>Tucking it in (if you want) but anchored with a leather or canvas belt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h.q3uwrgqqvm9q\">4. Branch Out With Colors<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Middle Manager Move:<\/strong>&nbsp;Wearing only safe colors \u2014 navy, black, or corporate baby blue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manly Upgrade: <\/strong>There\u2019s nothing wrong with a polo in a basic color like blue, but when you\u2019re trying to look more stylish and sharp than stiff and stale, branch into earth tones (olive, rust, cream), deep classics (burgundy, forest green), or even a light mint or pink for spring and summer.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h.gvmqiy8nkuyq\">5. Level Up With Layers<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-189694\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2025\/05\/polo-layers-1.jpg\" alt=\"Showcasing men's fashion, these three men demonstrate how to wear a polo shirt: a beige blazer with navy polo, a brown checked blazer with navy polo, and a brown sweater over a white shirt paired with white pants.\" width=\"620\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2025\/05\/polo-layers-1.jpg 620w, https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2025\/05\/polo-layers-1-320x107.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Middle Manager Move:<\/strong>&nbsp;Nothing but the polo up top.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manly Upgrade: <\/strong>One-dimensional outfits are fine, and a necessity for the hottest months of the year. But when the weather allows, adding a layer adds visual interest to your getup. Polos can look great with a lightweight jacket, cardigan, or even a sport coat over them.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h.ir0gl4rj6m08\">Don\u2019t Let the Polo Phone It In<\/h2>\n<p>The polo shirt\u2019s got plenty more potential than being the go-to uniform of the apathetic office worker or the off-duty regional manager. With better styling, it can look intentional and sharp \u2014 put-together but still laid-back. Wear it with some purpose, and it rises above the cubicle to become a sartorial statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The polo is a style staple and one of the most versatile shirts a man can own.
