As a popular garment in the fashion industry, polo shirts (also known as turn-down collar T-shirts) have long been an indispensable item for men.

The original polo shirt has a long-sleeved design instead of the current short one.

The image of Jean Rene Lacoste (left) wearing a polo shirt caused a stir in men’s fashion in the 1920s.

By the 1920s, the modern short-sleeved polo shirt design like today was born.

The polo shirt is the perfect combination between the elegance of a shirt (soft collar, V-shaped collar with three buttons) and the dynamism of a T-shirt (short sleeves and long body).

When Lacoste first wore this outfit to the 1926 US Open tennis tournament and won the championship, it immediately became a fashion phenomenon.

Realizing the craze of polo shirts, Sunspel – a high-end fashion house from England – adopted Lacoste’s polo shirt design and continued to improve it in its own way.

In 1967, designer Ralph Lauren founded a company specializing in casual wear called `Polo`, with the main product being polo shirts in many styles.

Currently, knitted material is still one of the superior features of polo shirts.

The special thing that determines the classicity of the polo shirt is that regardless of millionaires, successful businessmen or ordinary workers, anyone can choose to wear it.

With a modern shape, the polo shirt has all the advantages, surpassing its `brother` shirt.

Before the invention of the polo shirt, in the Middle Ages, men had no choice but to wear armor or monk’s robes with a clear hierarchy.

Today’s polo shirts are divided into two types, slimfit polo and regular polo.

One of the interesting stories about polo shirts is that there are more ways for men to wear a stylish polo shirt than they think.

Preppy style is a term born in the 1950s to refer to a trend among the rich with strong, school-spirited clothing.

While preppy aims for youthfulness, mod style follows the classic trend and is the trend that created the popularity of polo shirts worldwide.

A style that combines both classic and youthfulness is wearing a polo with a blazer.
