Only if you look bad.

Polos are for golfing and nametag jobs. I can't take anyone who wears one outside of these two scenarios seriously.

Knit polos are fine. I just don't like the shirts like the one you posted with giant gaps in the material. At that point, just wear a linen shirt if you want the air to flow through it.

Yeah if you wear boring colors and pair them with ugly khakis and bad shoes of course you will.

>>18699744
I wish more short sleeve shirts had longer sleeves like this.

If you're a good looking and thin man then polos are literally just a very t-shirt. Anything you would wear a t-shirt with you can substitute a polo and it will just look better, more put together, more mature
If you're whining about polos looking bad it's probably because you associate polos with the bright purple or whatever wacky colored ones you were forced to wear with your name tag at your wagie job

>>18699633
Notice how his first and only response is to just say "hurr durr old man"

Polo shirts only look good if you literally look like the stereotypical 1950s white man from propaganda posters and are also muscular such that they fit you perfectly. I guarantee none of you in this thread actually look like that, no matter how hard you delude yourself.

I much prefer short sleeve shirts, or even better in the summer, hawaiian shirts.

He’s absolutely right. A polo is enough to dress up for an expensive seafood restaurant but not having to wear a blazer. You can wear a polo to a job interview these days. In fact, wearing a shirt with a tie is old man coded or signs of a desperate dweeb.

You fags problem is assuming a polo is a dress shirt, which it's not. It's a casual shirt and nothing more

what about a linen knit polo?

>>18701263
Never tried one, but my linen shirts are all long sleeve button ups, so I just roll up the sleeves. I like the knit polos more because they're like a sweater, where having the material be thinner and short sleeve makes sense.

>>18702074

linen knit polos are totally different from regular linen shirts. they're kind of an in between from regular knit polos (too warm for hot weather) and linen shirts (peak summer material). they don't wrinkle like a plain weave linen shirt would, but, at least the shirt in that pic, is WAY thicker than a regular linen shirt so I wouldn't want to wear it in 35c+ weather, but it's an interesting alternative for 20c-30c weather. besides the kind of slight linen "roughness" you'd feel from running your hand along it, you would never expect it was linen.

the only other linen knit polo I have is linen/silk so I was also curious about other people's experience with them. the linen/silk one I have is a bit thinner

pic is a close-up of that one + a different shirt I have that is silk-linen

the silk linen one has a kind of silky sheen and the silk makes it soft (but not as soft as silk-cotton or silk) and is thinner

has anyone else used linen knit polos or linen knits? I have a long-sleeve linen-cotton spring sweater but it just feels like a rougher-feeling cotton knit sweater, but I like that natural color knit polo because it feels super "natural" I guess maybe I'm weird

>>18700888

that's actually a really nice looking polo. I'm loving the texture. I looked up the site, too bad it's $248. 55% linen 45% cotton I've gotten a few for <$50 from other brands on sale with that exact same ratio. why is it always 55/45 and never 50/50 or 60/40?! does Todd Snyder go on that big of sales much?

I broke and bought a black lacoste too. Fuck.

No you aren't. You're wearing gay ass low rise pants. Start wearing higher rise pants and the length of the polos will be fine.

>>18700438
Since when did that Neanderthal become a fashion icon?

>>18705513
Those are a 10 inch fromt rise at size 30. Go away diaper wearer.

>>18705520
It doesn't matter if they're 10". 10" for a 6'1" guy is low rise. And you're 6'1", that built, and still have a waist of 30"? Bullshit. Buy your pants in your actual waist size, not your sag size. Get a tape and measure your waist size at your belly button. It would be at least 32-33 inches.

I think this applies equally to anything without full front buttons honestly if you're not layering. T-shirts, henleys, polos, long-sleeve merino polos, thin crewneck sweaters, etc.

But yeah maybe applies more to short sleeve regular polos, doubly so if you're tucking it in.

Honestly being lean and muscular helps with most clothes, but you will need to tailor most things you get.

Either way generic pieque polos are kinda boring, much better to go for something like:

>>18700888
>>18701263

or pic related - long sleeve merino knit polos are so fucking good if you have pecs

>>18705788

pique polos*

even something like
>>18700020 (if he sized down or had more muscles) or >>18699623 or >>18699318

would be an improvement over generic pique polo with their little animalito in the side of one chest e.g. ralph lauren or lacoste etc those are boring af even if a staple classic

You described exactly what he meant, retard. And polos were never "smart casual" bullshit. They were just regular t-shirts. Just because they have a collar and buttons doesn't magically make them formal. Only modern retarded NPCs think that. Until the 2000s everyone from children, high school guys and grown men wore them casually like any regular crew neck t-shirt. Nobody thought they were "smart casual" shirts until a bunch of tech bro faggots in the 2010s started calling them that.

Do these twinks look like they're trying to look "dressy"? Neither polos nor button up shirts were seen as being inherently "dressy". They were just different varieties of shirts. Whether they were dressy or not depended on the cut, material and color/pattern. They weren't dressy just because they weren't crew neck t-shirts. To modern day uncultured NPCs anything that's not a crew neck t-shirt and has buttons is "dressy".

Yeh. Those examples specifically are pop-punk preppy parody. But, more broadly. '00s polo fashion, you had metrosexual polo wearers. Who weren't doing it ironically, like them. And you had the Kanye type, pink ass polo with a fucking backpack. And you had the popped-collar frat type.

Polos were never formal or dressy, retard. They're literally casual sports shirts and were always treated as such. You saw polos in preppy because prep style was a mix of menswear and university sportswear (which included things like varsity jackets and team shirts that were mostly polos). When preppy and "old money" types wore polos, they weren't trying to be dressy. That was their casual shirt.

Only since the past decade they're being seen as dressy because to millennial and zoomer subhumans who never wore anything besides t-shirts and hoodies, any shirt with buttons and a collar is automatically "dressy".

You're not even wrong. Totally. But, you are pretty dumb. Because, yeah. Obviously, they were sportswear. Athleisure, it's in the name. Worn playing polo. Tennis and golf too. Posh sports. Played while following country club collared-shirt dress codes. So, it's always been seen as sort-of elevated athleisure. But, you're childishly ignorant to believe the 'dressy' association has only existed within the last decade. Just naive. Surely, it's been acceptable business casual wear since the '90s. And, it's like, what are you even arguing? Because, yes. Polos are considered dressier than t-shirts. In terms of current day public perception. They just are. And has been seen as that probably since the '60s/'70s, after wearing t-shirts became common casual wear. And men stopped wearing suits casually. It's a dumb point you're trying to make. Polos were not considered dressy when the norm was suits. But, the norm is now t-shirts. So, comparatively, they are.

>>18710018
You are arguing with a stupid stubborn zoomer. But you are right. My grandpa would see polos as the bare minimum. My father who's now 70 wore only polos to work in the summer because something without a collar would be inappropriate at the time. Also, to any occasion where we would go out for dinner etc.

My gf likes my polos as long as they're not too tight. What is your Intel?

So I got both a RL Polo and a couple of Tommy ones. They all have much more summer appropriate fabric than Lacoste does, I don't know why no one told me this ever. I regret buying lacostes somewhat.

The RL one was a custom slim fit in size M and it was too short to keep. The Tommy 1985 slim fit in a size M was equal in length to a size 3 / S classic fit Lacoste, but tighter and thus went back. The size M regular is a bit more relaxed than the Lacoste in the chest and 1 cm longer in length which after washing ends up being almost the same. Literally the perfect fit while in >>18700471 you see the chest can get tight if I have good posture and went to the gym the previous day.

I just want one RL one in a regular size M or slim size L to basically have that as a reference as well in my wardrobe.
