The polo shirt is an iconic staple in almost everyone’s closet. Its versatile style is unmatched, you can basically wear it anywhere whether that's to the office, to a sporting event, on the golf course, and even to a fancy dinner. But, where did it come from?
How the Polo Shirt Became a Wardrobe Staple
When we think of the word “polo” we mostly think of the type of shirt before we think about the sport, but the sport of Polo was actually the root of how the polo shirt was created.
The sport of Polo that we know today was established in 19th century India, and the British brought the sport to the U.K. The players participating chose to wear polo shirts, but were viewed to be too casual, leading to the idea of a button down shirt. But then, in 1933, tennis star René Lacoste had a vision for a more functional, comfortable tennis uniform which then led to the birth of the modern cut polos that we wear and love today.
What Makes a Polo a Good Polo?
