Things To Know Before Purchasing Men’s Polo Shirt

An Ultimate Guide - Things To Know Before Purchasing Men’s Polo Shirt

One of the most versatile garments a man can own is a polo shirt. It's a great summer essential, but how should polo shirts fit, what should they be constructed of, and where should you get them? Every gentleman's wardrobe should include at least a few polo shirts. Polo shirts can be worn with a variety of outfits, including chinos, shorts, seersucker, and Madras, for both sports and relaxation. It's a popular sight on golf courses, tennis courts, beaches, and around town for strolls around the shops and an alfresco supper at a tiny café, and it's perfect for the preppy gentleman. You can choose big men’s polo shirts for heightened structure.

Commando Chafing Avoid Infections

Call it ‘free balling’, ‘going commando’ or ‘floppin’; men who do not wear underwear during spring break, or any other time, are at far greater risk of infections from swamp chafe, that the chaffage ensues according to the Internet and a conversation overheard in the men’s room late last week. The makers of SwampButt Underwear™ offer this announcement as a public service for men and boys who think that not wearing underwear is a good idea.

Fighting For Perfect Fit Clothing

No need to fight for that perfect fit with your clothing.  Go with some "stretch".

How to Pick the Proper Dress Shirt

Picking the proper men's dress shirt is not always an easy task.  In addition to figuring out the proper size, many other choices need to be made as well.

Image Source Bloomingdale's:  Apparel Search suggests that you shop at Bloomindale's for Classic Fit Dress Shirts and more.

1) Figure out your size.  Sleeve length and neck measurements are critical.  You also want to ask the retailer regarding their fit options such as slim fit, classic fit, regular fit, loose fit, etc.  Obviously, if you are on the larger side, check on big & tall sizes.

2) Figure out which fiber you prefer.  Do you enjoy 100% cotton, 100% polyester, a blend, or an entirely different fiber such as silk, rayon, etc.  Their is definitely a difference between natural and man-made fibers.  Each have advantages and disadvantages.  I am not telling you how to live your life, but my suggestion is typically 100% cotton.  Breathable, comfortable, and for the most part relatively durable.

She Prefers Plain Front Trousers

If your girl friend or wife prefers to see you in plain front trousers but you prefer wearing pleated trousers, what do you do?  

Lined Pants for Winter Warmth

Such a simple idea, but not all pants take advantage of a warm lining.  If you are planning outdoor activities in the late fall or winter, flannel line pants are the way to go.

You can find the above pictured men's lined pants at carhartt.  They have a few pant options with 4.5-ounce, 100% cotton flannel lining.  Keep your bottom half warm and toasty all cold season long with flannel lined pants from carhartt or another fashion brand.

California Cowboy Men's Shirts

California Cowboy, the brand built upon the rebellious, free thinking "Cowboy" lifestyle of California natives has teamed up with leading online men's retailer,  Huckberry for a digital pop up shopping event starting 5/30/17 through 6/6/17. 

Just in time for summer and pool party season, the California Cowboy High Water shirt is everything we always knew the Aloha Shirt would be and more. No billowy fits here, just a meticulously tailored, incredibly soft terry-lined shirt hand sewn in Santa Ana, California and splashed with unique patterns printed from original hand-painted art. Because just making the smoothest short sleeve we've seen in years would be boring, the SF-based Cowboys have hidden enough features in this summer's silver bullet to make James Bond blush: A waterproof dry pocket, secure sunglasses loop, an interior pocket for when you're wearing it as an overshirt - even a dump pocket on the back for your beverage of choice. Like its namesake Hunter S. Thompson, the biggest Hawaiian shirt fanatic of all time, The High Water is a little out of control - and we like it. Members of Huckberry will receive 10% off the California Cowboy High Water ($114.99, https://huckberry.com)
