Why is it so timeless?
> zooms in on fabricIt’s not.
saar
Anyone have an idea why we keep having back to back threads on polos which are basically "Why is RL so good?"
>>18696809>>18696834jeets cpr it
>>18696809You would look like a service worker in polos
>>18696823pique weave is great
>>18697081rabbi just trying to make the board less interesting by posting technically on topic threads that are just shitposting
>>18698677That’s not pique weave.
>>18696809Polo needs THREE buttons
>>18698749wrong, polo shirts need to be thrown to the garbage
>>18696809You WILL get mistaken for an employee when you're shopping
>>18698752To be fair I've been mistaken as "The Manager" for wearing a sportcoat and chinos. Normies...
>>18698752Only if you look bad.
Polos are for golfing and nametag jobs. I can't take anyone who wears one outside of these two scenarios seriously.
GOOD MORNING SIRS
>>18699269It's okay to have shit taste.
>>18699297
>>18699302
>>18699297Power bottom look
>>18699312The look of someone who will try to sell you a five year service plan at Best Buy. This is what Indians hold as the peak of male fashion lol
Ugly people not realizing they're literally telling on themselves for looking indian lmao.
My go-to pussy getting fit. Nothing makes your delts, bis & tris look better than a tight-sleeved polo.
>>18699269There are worse things to be than a golfer/wagie. Wearing a polo, signalling to the world that you're that type of dude. The type of man who wears a polo. A bit bland. But, fairly well put together. Normal, neat. That's not bad.
>>18699355I suppose you have a point. It does beat a football jersey and at worst you just look jeeted.
>>18699373polos are kino but polo and lacoste are a hard pass
>>18699623This looks like an old man polo. May as well pair it with a pair of Sketchers and polyester pants.
>>18696809timeless? polo shirt with a logo is a 2010 throwback
>>18699633you just got shit taste
>>18699623Surely we're on the tail-end of the knit polo trend. Was never really a fan.
>>18699623Damn really? I kinda like the tiny alligator
>>18699633How would you distinguish between an old man or young man's polo? Avoid using the brand.
>>18699744Knit polos are fine. I just don't like the shirts like the one you posted with giant gaps in the material. At that point, just wear a linen shirt if you want the air to flow through it.
pointless piece of garment. just wear a well fitting t-shirt
>polos are Indian! You'll look like an employee!Yeah if you wear boring colors and pair them with ugly khakis and bad shoes of course you will.
>>18699744I wish more short sleeve shirts had longer sleeves like this.
If you're a good looking and thin man then polos are literally just a very t-shirt. Anything you would wear a t-shirt with you can substitute a polo and it will just look better, more put together, more matureIf you're whining about polos looking bad it's probably because you associate polos with the bright purple or whatever wacky colored ones you were forced to wear with your name tag at your wagie job
>>18699633Notice how his first and only response is to just say "hurr durr old man"
Polo shirts only look good if you literally look like the stereotypical 1950s white man from propaganda posters and are also muscular such that they fit you perfectly. I guarantee none of you in this thread actually look like that, no matter how hard you delude yourself.I much prefer short sleeve shirts, or even better in the summer, hawaiian shirts.
>>18700132You're literally telling on yourself.Also wrong.
>>18700132you literally admitted you're fat and brown
>>18700017I can distinguish them very easily.
>>18700143none of that looks good
>>18700280You are not allowed to be anti-Shia here please.
>>18700326is /fa/ a sunni board?
>>18700054>>18699355>>18699312>>18699302>>18699297>>18699251None of these are good fits. The actors/models only look good because they're handsome and/or professionally styled and that wouldn't change even with them in a burlap sack
>>18700352>Blabla I'm a retard
>>18700352>None of these are good fits.>The actors/models only look good because because a professional stylist put together a good fitDo you realise how stupid you seem? None of those men are even unusually attractive, either. They're not 10/10s. They're just not fat or feminine.
>>18700352Anon you're a fucking retard. Move on already you've been BTFO over and over in your own thread
>>18700326New /fa/ is cancer
>>18696809Casey Neistat still wears them, so they're cool.
I wish I could wear Lacoste polos so bad I'm 6'1" and all torso and they're simply not long enough I'd look like Winnie the Pooh
>>18700451Lmao bullshit. They're too long if anything. I had to
>>18700457I had to size down to get a good fit length wise, down to a small and I'm 183/6'
>>18700457For real? Which fit? Slim or regular? Everything I've seen online about sizing is that they run very small Ralph Lauren also fits like shit. I have to wear medium tall
>>18700463Classic fit small, European sizing, 183/80kgThey have a couple of different fits I think, classic slim and regular?
>>18696809Ralph Lauren is a fucking G period my nigga Ralph Lauren is a fucking G
I don’t hate polos. I just feel like they’re the ultimate NPC garment. It’s what every lazy normie wears when they want to dress up, but just a little.
i wear snyder
>>18700781>shirt meant to look better than a t-shirt and looks dressed up but not overly so>"I just feel like they’re the ultimate NPC garment. It’s what every lazy normie wears when they want to dress up, but just a little."you're a retard anon, holy shit
>>18696809it's been co-opted by chuds and Indians so its time is now over
>>18700891He’s absolutely right. A polo is enough to dress up for an expensive seafood restaurant but not having to wear a blazer. You can wear a polo to a job interview these days. In fact, wearing a shirt with a tie is old man coded or signs of a desperate dweeb.
You fags problem is assuming a polo is a dress shirt, which it's not. It's a casual shirt and nothing more
>>18700020what about a linen knit polo?
>>18701263Never tried one, but my linen shirts are all long sleeve button ups, so I just roll up the sleeves. I like the knit polos more because they're like a sweater, where having the material be thinner and short sleeve makes sense.
>>18702074linen knit polos are totally different from regular linen shirts. they're kind of an in between from regular knit polos (too warm for hot weather) and linen shirts (peak summer material). they don't wrinkle like a plain weave linen shirt would, but, at least the shirt in that pic, is WAY thicker than a regular linen shirt so I wouldn't want to wear it in 35c+ weather, but it's an interesting alternative for 20c-30c weather. besides the kind of slight linen "roughness" you'd feel from running your hand along it, you would never expect it was linen.the only other linen knit polo I have is linen/silk so I was also curious about other people's experience with them. the linen/silk one I have is a bit thinnerpic is a close-up of that one + a different shirt I have that is silk-linenthe silk linen one has a kind of silky sheen and the silk makes it soft (but not as soft as silk-cotton or silk) and is thinnerhas anyone else used linen knit polos or linen knits? I have a long-sleeve linen-cotton spring sweater but it just feels like a rougher-feeling cotton knit sweater, but I like that natural color knit polo because it feels super "natural" I guess maybe I'm weird
>>18700888that's actually a really nice looking polo. I'm loving the texture. I looked up the site, too bad it's $248. 55% linen 45% cotton I've gotten a few for <$50 from other brands on sale with that exact same ratio. why is it always 55/45 and never 50/50 or 60/40?! does Todd Snyder go on that big of sales much?
I broke and bought a black lacoste too. Fuck.
>>18700451>>18700471>all torsoNo you aren't. You're wearing gay ass low rise pants. Start wearing higher rise pants and the length of the polos will be fine.
>>18700438Since when did that Neanderthal become a fashion icon?
>>18705513Those are a 10 inch fromt rise at size 30. Go away diaper wearer.
>>18705520It doesn't matter if they're 10". 10" for a 6'1" guy is low rise. And you're 6'1", that built, and still have a waist of 30"? Bullshit. Buy your pants in your actual waist size, not your sag size. Get a tape and measure your waist size at your belly button. It would be at least 32-33 inches.
>>18705538I'm sorry I have abs and I'm not fat like you.
>>18699297> handsome masculine man but dressed like an Easter eggNot a flex dude>>18699355I don’t disagree but let’s not pretend it looks very good ok?
>>18696809I feel like you need to be jacked to pull it off properly
>>18705731I think this applies equally to anything without full front buttons honestly if you're not layering. T-shirts, henleys, polos, long-sleeve merino polos, thin crewneck sweaters, etc.But yeah maybe applies more to short sleeve regular polos, doubly so if you're tucking it in.Honestly being lean and muscular helps with most clothes, but you will need to tailor most things you get.Either way generic pieque polos are kinda boring, much better to go for something like:>>18700888>>18701263or pic related - long sleeve merino knit polos are so fucking good if you have pecs
>>18705788pique polos*even something like>>18700020 (if he sized down or had more muscles) or >>18699623 or >>18699318would be an improvement over generic pique polo with their little animalito in the side of one chest e.g. ralph lauren or lacoste etc those are boring af even if a staple classic
>>18705788>fashion to me is just fabrc straining against muscles
>>18706276Unironically a necessary part, you dysgenic faggot.
>>18706278you dont care about fashion you just care about attracting women.
Gucci makes the good polos
>>18706276it shouldn't look skin-tight but you should be able to see your pecs a little bit if you have someboxy loose polos are the worst. just wear a loose linen button-up shirt if you want that
>>18700054He looks like he's going bowling
I feel stupid paying the regular prices for not on sale RL. I can find Hillfiger for like half the price.I can also find Lacoste for similar prices but honestly I'm kind of tired of all my polos being Lacoste. Is this any good?
>>18700891You described exactly what he meant, retard. And polos were never "smart casual" bullshit. They were just regular t-shirts. Just because they have a collar and buttons doesn't magically make them formal. Only modern retarded NPCs think that. Until the 2000s everyone from children, high school guys and grown men wore them casually like any regular crew neck t-shirt. Nobody thought they were "smart casual" shirts until a bunch of tech bro faggots in the 2010s started calling them that.
Do these twinks look like they're trying to look "dressy"? Neither polos nor button up shirts were seen as being inherently "dressy". They were just different varieties of shirts. Whether they were dressy or not depended on the cut, material and color/pattern. They weren't dressy just because they weren't crew neck t-shirts. To modern day uncultured NPCs anything that's not a crew neck t-shirt and has buttons is "dressy".
>>18709168>Until the 2000s everyone from children, high school guys and grown men wore them casually like any regular crew neck t-shirt.Shut up zoomer retard.
>>18709170Yeah I'd say the polos at the time were mostly a form of mocking preppiness.
>>18709608Yeh. Those examples specifically are pop-punk preppy parody. But, more broadly. '00s polo fashion, you had metrosexual polo wearers. Who weren't doing it ironically, like them. And you had the Kanye type, pink ass polo with a fucking backpack. And you had the popped-collar frat type.
>>18709608You're right, but that retard >>18709168>>18709170is literally arguing the opposite.
>>18705404I fucked up and it was the fucking non-pique version (who the fuck makes this and sells it for so much anyway?).I will wait til I find the pique one for ~50-60.In the meantime I got this one >>18707930 and a nice light blue RL, and I think I'm set for life eventually with the black Lacoste.
>>18709168I love it when zoomer fucking shits who were still in diapers at the time talk about shit they know nothing about
>>18709678Polos were never formal or dressy, retard. They're literally casual sports shirts and were always treated as such. You saw polos in preppy because prep style was a mix of menswear and university sportswear (which included things like varsity jackets and team shirts that were mostly polos). When preppy and "old money" types wore polos, they weren't trying to be dressy. That was their casual shirt.Only since the past decade they're being seen as dressy because to millennial and zoomer subhumans who never wore anything besides t-shirts and hoodies, any shirt with buttons and a collar is automatically "dressy".
>>18710000You're not even wrong. Totally. But, you are pretty dumb. Because, yeah. Obviously, they were sportswear. Athleisure, it's in the name. Worn playing polo. Tennis and golf too. Posh sports. Played while following country club collared-shirt dress codes. So, it's always been seen as sort-of elevated athleisure. But, you're childishly ignorant to believe the 'dressy' association has only existed within the last decade. Just naive. Surely, it's been acceptable business casual wear since the '90s. And, it's like, what are you even arguing? Because, yes. Polos are considered dressier than t-shirts. In terms of current day public perception. They just are. And has been seen as that probably since the '60s/'70s, after wearing t-shirts became common casual wear. And men stopped wearing suits casually. It's a dumb point you're trying to make. Polos were not considered dressy when the norm was suits. But, the norm is now t-shirts. So, comparatively, they are.
>>18710018You are arguing with a stupid stubborn zoomer. But you are right. My grandpa would see polos as the bare minimum. My father who's now 70 wore only polos to work in the summer because something without a collar would be inappropriate at the time. Also, to any occasion where we would go out for dinner etc.
>>18710000times change. t shirts used to be only as underwear. i agree with >>18710018but please no boring pique polos
>>18711651Non-pique polos are just trending the past 3 years. In 3 years they'll look hilarious to you and everyone else. I'm not throwing away my lacostes.
>>18696809good morning saar we like polos saar
>>18699251Still looks like a worker
>>18713887Nice cope, I'm sure you look super unemployed in your linen costume, you don't have to worry about looking like you work.
