5 Tips For Styling A Polo Shirt This Summer
Start your summer wardrobe off right with some tips on how to style a polo shirt! Polo shirts are one of the most versatile pieces of clothing you can own. They are great for hot days, and can also be dressed up for work or special occasions. To ensure that you get the most out of your polo shirts this summer, here are 5 styling tips to keep in mind.
1) Accessorize with The Right Sunglasses
Wearing the right sunglasses can really help to make a polo shirt look stylish. Look for a pair that compliments the color of your shirt. If you’re going for a more designer look, try to find a pair with an interesting shape or detail. And if you want to keep things cool and classic, go for a pair of aviators.
It’s also a good idea to buy sunglasses that have UV protection to help protect your eyes from harmful rays. And, if you’re buying designer glasses, try to make sure they have 100% UV protection. Finally, you can use sunglasses as a cool way to compliment your polo shirt – try wearing them in a unconventional way like with a backwards cap or popped out at different angles.
Bring Back The Tie-Dye: Try tie-dying a plain polo shirt using non-toxic food coloring and then wear it with something casual like jeans and sneakers for something different. Pair this outfit with stylish accessories like patterned socks, colorful bracelets, or even bright lipstick.
Brighter Colors Can Help Make You Stand Out: If you’re not into tie-dye, try some brighter colours like a hot pink or yellow polo shirt. Adding a pop of colour to your outfit will help you stand out. Alternatively, go for something more adventurous and try making your own polo shirt at home with supplies like spandex or stretch fabric and even recycled T-shirts.
Restyle An Old Shirt In A New Way: While polo shirts were originally designed for horseback riding, their modern take on them are made with fabrics like cotton and polyester that will keep you cool when it’s hot outside but not make you too warm when temperatures drop in cooler months – making them super versatile all year round.
2) Choose The Right Shoes
When it comes to choosing the right shoes to wear with your polo shirt this summer, there are a few key things to keep in mind. First, consider the overall look you’re going for. If you want something more casual, go for sneakers or sandals. If you’re dressing up your polo shirt for a more formal occasion, opt for loafers or dress shoes. Second, think about the color of your shoes. If your polo shirt is solid-colored, you can have fun with your shoes and choose a brighter hue or pattern. However, if your polo shirt is already busy with a print or pattern, stick to more neutral-colored shoes. Third, make sure your shoes are comfortable.
When you’re ready to choose your shoes, start with these five tips. First, think about how you plan to wear your polo shirt. Do you want something more casual? Then opt for sneakers or sandals. Are you going for a more formal look? Go for loafers or dress shoes instead. Next, consider color. If your polo shirt is solid-colored, go wild with a bolder shoe color or pattern; if your polo shirt has a print on it already, stick to neutrals. Last but not least, make sure both your shoe and polo shirt are comfortable before you take them out of the store—you don’t want either of them rubbing uncomfortably at all during an afternoon in the sun.
3) Find The Right Trousers Or Jeans
Wearing the right trousers or jeans is key to nailing the polo shirt look. The best trousers to wear with a polo shirt are slim-fit chinos in a light shade such as beige, grey or white. If you’re going for a more casual look, then denim jeans are a good option too. Just make sure they’re not too baggy or distressed.
Wearing a polo shirt with jeans is more casual than pairing it with chinos. That said, you should still be mindful of how you wear them to make sure they look stylish and not sloppy. If your polo shirt has short sleeves, then stick to wearing a pair of jeans that are about mid-way up your shin or slightly above. And if you’re wearing long-sleeved polos or ones with a collar, then stick to a slightly higher cut of denim such as boot cut or wide leg. You want your jeans to complement rather than detract from your outfit so avoid skinny jeans and anything too baggy or distressed.
4) Layer Underneath
Polo shirts are the perfect piece to wear when you want to be comfortable but still look put-together. This summer, try layering your polo shirt under a denim jacket or a cardigan. You can also wear it alone with shorts or jeans. If you want to get really creative, try tucking it into a skirt or wearing it as a top over a maxi dress.
Tuck in your polo shirt if you’re wearing it as a top or skirt. While untucked, it looks laid-back and casual. You can also try rolling up sleeves if you want to give your look a more preppy touch. If you’re wearing it over a dress, make sure that your top has long enough sleeves or simply remove them altogether. Otherwise, your sleeve will clash with your dress, and you’ll be left with an awkward finish.
If you’re wearing a polo shirt with shorts, opt for a thicker material. Woven fabrics, such as cotton or twill blends are good options for summer. If you choose something thinner, it will show through your shorts and draw attention to any bodily imperfections, such as a bulging belly or flabby thighs. On that note, make sure your top is long enough to hide whatever part of your body you want to keep hidden! Thinner shirts can also look great with denim cutoffs when layered under a sweater or blazer.
5) Opt for the right sunglasses and bag, too..
1. A pair of classic white sneakers or brown loafers are the perfect choice to complete your look.
2. If you’re headed to the beach, don’t forget to pack a straw tote bag – it’s the perfect summer accessory!
3. Add a touch of glamour with some gold jewelry.
4. Keep your makeup natural and let your freckles shine through.
5. And finally, don’t forget the sunscreen. We know it can be hard to wear makeup while you’re outside but wearing a hat and staying in the shade will also help protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Stay hydrated by sipping on water throughout the day and drink plenty of water before bedtime so that you wake up feeling refreshed and ready for another day.
