POLO SHIRT

A polo shirt is a type of shirt characterized by a collar, a placket with two or three buttons, and short sleeves. It is typically made from knitted fabric, such as pique cotton or jersey, which offers more stretch and comfort than woven fabrics. Polo shirts are often associated with casual yet slightly more refined wear compared to regular t-shirts, making them popular for various settings, from casual outings to semi-formal events.

The polo shirt was originally designed for tennis players by René Lacoste in the 1920s and has since become a staple in both men's and women's fashion. It can be worn on its own or layered with jackets and sweaters for a smart-casual look.
