The Polo Shirt: A Classic That Never Fades

The History of the Polo Shirt – From the Sports Field to a Style Icon

Some styles are forever — and the polo shirt is one of them.

Born on the sports field, perfected over decades, the polo shirt blends comfort, functionality, and elegance. Worn by athletes, icons, and modern professionals alike, it’s now a daily go-to for both men and women.

In the ever-evolving world of fashion, some designs stand the test of time. The polo shirt is one of them — a timeless icon where sporting heritage, brand legacy, and refined craftsmanship meet in every stitch.

From Function to Fashion

The polo shirt was born out of a need for comfortable sportswear, especially for polo and tennis in the early 20th century. French tennis legend René Lacoste revolutionized the design with stretchy piqué cotton, a soft collar, and short sleeves — laying the foundation for the modern polo.

Later, designer Ralph Lauren brought the polo to the fashion world, tying it to the preppy and polished style of American business and intellectual circles.

Since then, the polo shirt has transcended its athletic roots to become a symbol of smart versatility — suitable for any setting: from business meetings to city strolls, golf courses to airport lounges.
