How To Wear Polo Shirts To Formal Events And Still Look Sharp by thekeingspen(op): 10:50am On Jul 14

Chief, who says you must wear a suffocating corporate long-sleeve shirt every time you have a formal event?

The fashion rules in Nigeria have completely changed. Right now, big boys and top executives are rocking premium polo shirts to corporate meetings, high-end weddings, and networking events—and they are still looking like the richest men in the room.

But wait o... there is a very thin line between looking like a premium billionaire and looking like you are going to a football viewing center.
90% of Nigerian men commit a huge fashion crime when trying to pull this off.
If you want to wear a polo shirt to a formal event and command absolute respect, the number one rule is The Collar and Fabric Rule. You cannot wear a regular, limp cotton polo. You need a structured, high-grade knit polo or mercerized cotton with a collar that stays firm under a blazer.

However, fabric is just the first step. There are 3 other strict styling rules you must follow regarding tucking in, sleeve length, and shoe pairings so you don't look casual or tacky. I just dropped the ultimate styling blueprint with clear visual examples showing exactly how to pull this off flawlessly.

T-SHIRT have no collars and buttons. That's the difference between them and polo.

It is polo shirt. T Shirts dont have collar and are usually V or round necks.

Polo Shirts have collars and buttons

commot that polo abeg

It makes no sense

We have 2 types of T shirts, the one with collar n the one without collar

That shirt style has been in existence before the game of Polo. In fact, the original polo shirt doesn't look like that

You are posting the history of a shirt instead of posting an article that supports your claim.

I am showing you pictures from the website of garment makers that are authorities in clothing. See Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren calling it a Polo Shirt.

Know the history and you ll appreciate why you should not join the bandwagon

We are not arguing about the history of the shirt. We are talking about the name it is called. Whether it predates the game of Polo is not the issue here.
