Polo apparel is known for its ability to adapt to most situations- whether they be classy or informal. Polo apparel comes in many varieties, styles, and consists of several different fabrics. For someone new to wearing polo it can be initially overwhelming in deciding on what to pick.

A polo consisting of cotton is most valued for its comfort. Cotton is also the least expensive of the materials commonly used, so the shirt is also likely to be friendlier to your budget. The only thing to have concern over is the fact that cotton can stain easily, can be heavier and thus less useful in sports, and can shrink during washing. Cotton blends are more for casual occasions.

Jersey knit polo shirts were designed to be lighter so that those who play sports would be able to have a greater range of mobility. As a result of being lighter, they also “breathe” easier- allowing sweat to evaporate and cool the body more efficiently. Jersey knit polo shirts also resist stains that come from grass or poor weather conditions.

Athletes that need more performance out of their polo can rely on nylon as the base material. Nylon is even lighter in weight, as compared to jersey knit polo shirts. Nylon is also very resistant to stains and can be cleaned most often with a single wash. Nylon knit fabric can also have a wicking feature that allows sweat from the body to be channeled to the outside of the shirt, where it quickly evaporates to cool the body further.

Athletes aren’t the only ones that enjoy a good polo shirt. Formal occasions, such as going to a church for Sunday, may call for a silk polo shirt. Silk is extremely comfortable to wear when it isn’t too hot outside, and gives a nice shimmer that was once a milestone in nobility apparel. Silk is more expensive, and it can be harder to find silk polo shirts when looking around local shops.

Because polo shirts are accepted as formal, businesses tend to use them as a base when creating work shirts. Even massive food chains center their work shirts around the polo, since they create a good image and allow employees to comfortably navigate the premises. Customized polo shirts can be bought using the Internet, and be customized with embroidery and custom color design. Best yet, the price is competitive with your average polo brand.

In Conclusion

Dressing to impress doesn’t require $500 and a custom tailored suit. A polo can cost anywhere from $10 to $50 and more, depending on the brand and where you buy it. Shop around for a good price using the Internet and a good list of retailers.
