    Surely the middle classed gent just asks the au pair to pop down to Boden?

    Pink, well more of a bright fuscia really.

    Top tip.
    Try on a Polo shirt.
    If you like it, buy it.

    Maybe the lower echelons; I’d say a shirt is still the standard 😉

    Not that you’d catch me wearing either, I prefer T-shirts.

    Plain, single colour polo – Acceptable.
    Polo with any sort of logo – Unacceptable, unless it’s a…
    Polo with numbers – Acceptable, if you played in it.
    Polo with waffle about “Elephant Polo” – Unacceptable.

    Nothing intrinsic in a Polo – it runs the whole spectrum of demographics ..

    As above, they can be cool, they can be naff.

    Numbers never cool, obvs.

    Never liked them. Just seem like a weird halfway house between a shirt and a T-shirt.

    Anyone wearing a polo shirt is a cock. Fact.
    If it has a popped collar. That’s an open invitation to punch them in the face.

    What CFH said, except tiny, tiny or very subtle logos have to be acceptable. Limits the options otherwise, to pretty much nil.

    tiny, tiny or very subtle logos have to be acceptable.

    Begrudgingly, yes. So, a Fred Perry logo the same colour as the shirt, for example? Or, as above, the branded buttons on a Sunspel? Yes. Acceptable.

    Silly crocodiles? Nope.

    M&S used to do a brilliant one, plain, decent colours, well made,lasted forever.

    Then, M&S stopped making clothes any human would actually wear and turned into a cross between Waitrose and Primark.

    Snappers aside, obviously.

    I ask because I like the Crew plain ones. I think with jeans brown shoes and the Stw de facto Seiko they are pretty good middle age yet fashionable attire

    Polos & boots = accepted
    Polos & brown shoes = nope
    Polos & trainers (white, Adidas/Nike/Asics) on a council estate = accepted, in normal life = nope
    Polos & flipflops, on a beach = accepted, 100mtrs away from the beach = nope

    Smedley do some very pleasant looking subtle fitted Polos, extremely well made in quality material .. accepted

    He doesn’t make the rules, and he’s often wrong. But y’know, if you need some-one to tell you how to dress, crack on… 😆

    I too wear polos for work. As for that photo bikebouy posted – he’s the sort who makes on and on think polo wearers are cocks. A cardigan over a fully buttoned up polo FFS?
