[Closed] Polo Tops...

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

Workwear for me.

And me.
Pink, well more of a bright fuscia really.

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

Baggy = No
Fitted = Yes
Turned up collar = Get Outta Here, you ain't welcome anymore, now go, walk out the door, don't turn around now... You........

I hope you didn't have this in mind..

Middle class style wear du jour?

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.

could my son wear a polo top to his interview?

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 ..

Polo with numbers - Acceptable, if you played in it.
Polo with waffle about "Elephant Polo" - Unacceptable.

What if you have played Elephant Polo?

You shouldn't have.

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.

Sunspel FTW...

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.

Anyone wearing a polo shirt is a cock. Fact.

WOW!!

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

Bikebuoy do post up a full list of rules please, and more pics like that, it's fantastic.

His rulws are wrong though. Polo tops and white trainers? Ok if you live in Glossop i suppose

My 3yo would look very cute in that outfit, but otherwise WTF???

Remember to make sure you can fit your name badge on it....

YouTubes yer friend, there is a channel devoted to the Polo Shirt......

Hes got my Tag on, hes copied my style the bastard.

At risk of repeating myself....
Polo fitted = accepted
Polo Baggy = nope

Glad to have helped you all.

I agree with that. Slim fit for me.

This. Maybe a Fred Perry if you are a skinhead and it's thirty years ago but otherwise no

How very dare you sir

Spoil sport

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?

I do. I'm not.

😉

Just had an email. My new polo top collection will be delivered today.

Nice.

in your head, maybe... 🙂

I quite like the superdry ones.

Can't beat a Slazenger polo for work! 😀

Dirt cheap and I don't mind if they get wrecked.

Always hated them, just have vivid nightmares about cheap, plasticy workwear with a badly embroidered logo that has sticky out bits of plastic thread on the back that scratches your nipple all day.

I cannot even comprehend that there may be a comfy polo shirt in existence.

These are. Acceptable to be worn casually in the office or with jeans and shoes on a night out. I think polo tops make a statement beyond t shirts in the level class, but arent as formal as shirts
