Source

Got a new polo tee but no idea what to do with it? Well, don’t worry anymore. Here are some classic casual and smart styling inspirations you can create with different styles of polo t-shirts. They’re neither too formal nor too casual. So, you may use these combos in almost any situation.

1. Polo T-shirt + Shorts
When the high summer heat in Dubai sets in, nothing beats a clean polo and well-fitted shorts. You may experiment with solid colors because they look cleaner and more intentional.

2. Partner them with Chinos
Here's something worth knowing: not all pants work equally well with polos, but chinos and polos are a match made in heaven. If you don’t already have them, grab them in navy and beige colors. So, you can wear them with different colored polos.

3. Formal Pants
Pairing a polo t-shirt with a well-fitted pair of pants is a great alternative to a buttoned-down shirt. You can experiment with the hues and choose either similar-colored polo and pants or try a contrasting pair. Just remember to tuck in the polo for that formal appearance.

4. Same Color Polo and Pants
Many feel monochrome is outdated, but that’s not true. It’s the best theme if you want to look taller and sharper. Creating this look is easy, as all you need to do is pick the polo t-shirt and pants in matching colors and add some contrast, using a belt or a classic watch.

5. The Timeless Jeans Combo
If you’re in a hurry and need the quickest “looks good” appearance, then nothing beats pairing your polo with jeans. The key to making this combo work is understanding how colors change your look. A safe option is to use contrasting colors, and if you’re comfortable with printed polo t-shirts, use them with loose-fit jeans.

6. Jeans + Polo T-Shirt + Casual Blazer
Try polos with dark colored jeans and a textured blazer to create a casual yet formal look. You may experiment with the colors.  But one thing is guaranteed: you’ll stand out with this look in meetings, UAE business events, and other semi-formal settings.

7. Layer with a Light Jacket
Wearing a light jacket over your polo t-shirt is usually a good idea as nighttime temperatures in the UAE  start to drop. You will look sportier in an aviator jacket, while you will seem sleek and easygoing in a denim jacket. You might choose neutral hues like khaki, gray, or black because they blend well with many polos.

8. Linen Pants for the Climate
Linen pants go best with pastel colored polos, especially in the lighter shades. Because of linen's airy feeling, you’ll feel stylish and comfortable during summer.

9. Pair them with Sneakers
Loafers are wonderful, no doubt about that.  However, have you ever tried pairing your polo t-shirt with sneakers? If not, it’s about time! Take a polo t-shirt of your choice, match it with shorts or chinos, and add sneakers to the mix.

10. Polos and Sweaters
Add a lightweight sweater over a polo to keep the right amount of warmth for breezy evenings of the UAE winter. It works best if you don’t want to compromise style and comfort.

Polo T-Shirts Keep You Going!
The adaptability of polo shirts is one of their excellent qualities, particularly in the UAE, where you need classic attire for different seasons. There are several ways to wear it and look stylish, from a dinner in the city to a walk on the beach.

So, use these styling combinations to make the most out of your polo t-shirts!
