I bought a polo shirt on a whim like 10 years ago because it exactly matched my sneakers and had my initial on the front. Never hated how I looked quite as much as when wearing that. Nowadays I think the most common non-douchey variant is the black Fred Perry ones? Maybe because a couple friends of mine has that one, and a dark blue Ben Sherman shirt I seem to remember. Not my scene, I'm a band tee or plain sweater type of person.

I'm just kidding of course :)

But polo shirts do suck in my book, only time I had to wear those were in my high school days, it was horrible man.

I like Fred Perry shirts, and Lacoste can be fine too. As other people have said, the former is pretty much a staple/classic. Lacoste can get a little too blueblood.

But yep. Like most garments, I think they look pretty sharp in black. Never wear a pink one. Never, ever pop the collar. Hork.

My dad wears them a lot.
I used to wear them when I was a kid.
Maybe that's why I despise them so much, now.
Usually I wear a white tee and a loose-as-fuck/extremely oversized button up shirt. :cool:
I had to wear a polo as part of the "uniform" at my last job, I hated it so much that I usually would just wear a sweatshirt over it and avoid my boss.

I basically only wear Hawaiian shirts once April/May hits, because I hate clothing and they're the least invasive thing you can get away with in public. Polos are always too short and usually make me feel like a middle manager or golfer or something. I'll generally just wear a button-up with the sleeves rolled up if I have to be less casual for some reason.

FSM no to Polos. I grew up in the 80s. There is no reason to relive that horror.

Button-down Oxfords--certainly not dress-shirt style. Detective Sipowicz is, in style terms, a warning to others. "Sport-shirt" style or Hawaiian, okay if seasonally called for--linen is nice for southern swamps. Maybe even Mexican wedding shirts if you can pull that off.
