After almost 100 years the polo shirt is still without a doubt one of the most versatile pieces you can have in your wardrobe. It can be dressed up or down, worn on the beach with swim shorts or to a nice dinner with a suit. It works perfectly with both casual and formal outfits.

It’s also a garment that will have a very different appeal in different fabrics. It can look really casual in a pique cotton version, very formal in a finely knitted fabric like wool or silk, or even totally sporty in a polyester blend. With the right fabric and fit, it can work for almost any occasion. To show just how versatile it is and how well it works with classic menswear, I've put together a few of my favorite outfits below.

Let me know what is your favourite way to wear a Polo shirt. I also made a list of the best quality polo shirts you can buy.
