Ah, the polo shirt! In the 2000s, preppy style was all the rage. We found them in all colors in wardrobes and we wore them with the collar up (fixed with hairspray!). What was still an essential basic subsequently ended up falling into oblivion. Today, he is making his comeback on the catwalks.
We especially owe its unexpected return to the Loewe brand which, last year, released a striped model highlighted by stars like Hailey Bieber and Rihanna. This year, other brands like Miu Miu, Gucci and Lacoste have followed suit. The polo shirt has thus regained its place on the podiums. And there is nothing surprising in that. Because the mix of sporty functionality and discreet elegance fits perfectly with the current trend of “old money” and “quiet luxury”.
The polo shirt can be sometimes chic, sometimes cheesy: it’s all in the way you wear it. Well stylish, it can be THE key piece that enhances elegant outfits. On the other hand, poorly fitted polo shirts, in bright colors or adorned with flashy logos, quickly harken back to the style errors of the past.
Brought up to date by several fashion influencers, the polo shirt has regained its nobility. It is generally worn with wide pants, a mini skirt, or even denim shorts for a look that is both sporty and stylish. The clever layering of pieces, including pairing with an XXL blazer or a leather jacket, proves that the polo shirt is anything but out of date.
The polo shirt can easily become a flagship and versatile piece in our own wardrobe, especially if we focus on neutral colors and quality materials. The classic colors pair beautifully with most basics and work just as well with casual looks as they do with more chic outfits. It is essential that the cut is modern, that is to say oversized, for a cool and relaxed look, or fitted, for a more classic style.
