Invest in a timeless Polo T-shirt as you go on holiday and indulge in sports this summer.
The timeless Polo is having a major moment this summer. Tailored in breathable fabrics like cotton, linen and blended knits, it has emerged to be the most wearable summer essential seen on the runway and the racks. Historically, the mens Polo T-shirt dates to equestrian sports like polo and lawn tennis. Slowly from the rarefied Wimbledon matches, it went on to become a cult closet piece seen at the posh country clubs across the US and Europe, synonymous with poolside cocktails and sunny summer brunches. The likes of David Beckham, Roger Federer and back home, Maharaja Padmanabh Singh of Jaipur have often been seen styling it at events and polo matches.
An all-season favourite
Knitted, piqued and embossed with logos, this wardrobe winner can easily be worn across seasons. This season polo shirts for men come with preppy collars featuring button-down details, ribbed cuffs and honeycomb textures. Offering unparalleled comfort with moisture-absorbent qualities, they're your ideal choice for a golf match with your buds over the weekend or Friday dressing at work. This season, XYXX reinterprets this seasonless staple; their Polos are crafted from super combed cotton fabric and enhanced with IntelliEaze fabric technology offering the most luxurious comfort ensuring unmatched lightness, softness and breathability.
Invest in the timeless Polos
Warm summer months merit easy breezy, lightweight pieces which impart lasting comfort without compromising on style. The timeless Polo T-shirt gets reimagined in a wide range of solid hues like almond white and mocha brown for Spring and Summer 24. Seen across the style spectrum - from Gen Z influencers to Hollywood celebrities - the Polo T-shirt has made its presence felt like never before with style savants wearing it with chinos, denims and baseball caps. At the recently concluded Cannes Film Festival, Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage attended "The Surfer" photocall in a Polo shirt worn with a matching suit. It's interesting to see polo's transition from sports to red-carpet outings.
Club to cocktails
Summer is the time to soak in the sun and relax by the poolside in comfortable clothing. And the best way to look up-to-the-second summer ready this season is in a Polo T-shirt worn with either a pair of shorts or linen pants and flip flops. Also, the Polo t-shirt works on an array of occasions. One can easily make a transition from the poolside to a chic dinner locale in a Polo shirt with minor styling tweaks. Just throw on a shacket or a blazer and a pair of Chelsea shoes and you're dinner-ready in a jiffy.
Holiday essentials
Heading to a holiday resort or a family staycation this summer and wondering what to wear? The answer is a cotton Polo T-shirt crafted in a solid colour. Easy to pack and carry, this vacation must-have can be worn around the clock and from morning to evening. Style it with a Cuban chain pendant, a sporty wristwatch, and sunglasses and you're good to go. Accessorise with a sling pouch and a pair of white trainers and let your Polo t-shirt do all the talking.
