The Classic Polo Shirt

November 6, 2009

The classic polo shirt is the perfect alternative to a shirt, and a good quality one will ensure that you look smart on any occasion. When a T-shirt is a bit too informal, the polo shirt is a fantastic substitute that is comfortable but also still presentable.  Due to the popularity of “dressing down” with many employers these days (especially on Fridays), polo shirts

Polo Shirt

remain a wardrobe staple for both the young and the young at heart.

The polo shirt was the invention of Grand Slam tennis champion, Rene Lacoste. Now world famous for his clothing empire, as a professional sportsman back in the 1930’s, he grew tired of cumbersome long sleeved dress shirts and created a loosely knit cotton shirt with an unstarched, flat collar that could be turned up to protect the sun from a player’s neck. Made under the Lacoste label, it was marketed as the ‘tennis shirt’, until it was adopted by polo players who decided it should be forever known as the ‘polo shirt’.

In 1967 when Ralph Lauren included the design into his collection and the shirt found a home with a much wider audience. Lauren even imitated the designer of the shirt by including his own iconic logo. Ralph Lauren aimed to exude a certain ‘waspishness’ or preppiness with his line, and success was almost guaranteed when his brand of polo shirt was adopted by players of another gentleman’s sport – golf. To this day, the golf players among us will recognize the popularity of the polo shirt, as it continues to offer something just a little more formal than a t-shirt, but a little less formal (and inhibiting) than an actual shirt.

Today most men’s labels will have a polo shirt in their range. If it’s quality you’re after then Ben Sherman, Dolce & Gabbana or Ralph Lauren all carry a good range while at the cheaper end of the market you will find such suppliers as Fruit of the Loom or Gildan.

The polo shirt really looks great when it’s matched with jeans, chinos, and even corduroy.  This combination looks great with trainers or Dr Martens for the younger wearer or with loafers for the older gentlemen. Pink and pastel polo shirts recently made an appearance and are particularly popular with college students and other young men. In many circles, wearing a polo shirt with a tie and jeans is quickly becoming something of a statement, especially in indie circles or those who have a more eclectic or relaxed attitude toward modern fashion.

Long-sleeved polo shirts are a good option in the colder weather and an excellent gift Christmas gift for many men who might not think of buying the item for themselves.

T Shirt Printing

August 17, 2009

In a world of ready-to-wear (RTW) clothes, an individual’s need for self-expression demands to be liberated from the restrictions of mass production. Maintaining a person’s individuality becomes harder as the imitation of mainstream fashion increases and people all start to wear the same kind of designs. Leaders of the fashion industry continuously stay ahead and dictate the world’s fashion palate. They get inspiration not only from the catwalks of Milan but also from what trendsetting people are wearing on the busy streets every day.

Most consumers try to make their own fashion statement, to stand out and to be seen as a unique individual. Personalisation is the name of the game for an increasing number of people who want to be identified for having their own distinctive brand of style. Having a personal designer is of course definitely out of the question for most of us. But due to advanced technology, customised outfits are now within our reach. The most popular choice among personalised garments is the lowly T-shirt, which can now be printed with whatever image or text that you want

T-shirt printing is the easiest and cheapest way to enjoy personalised clothing. People use their own designs and print them on whatever kind of T-shirt they prefer. They can use plain coloured shirts or printed fabrics.

If you want to try T-shirt printing yourself, opt to do silkscreen printing first, as it is the easiest method. You should choose a simple design for your shirt, with black and white as the colour scheme. Once you have mastered this, you may try exploring more elaborate designs for your next project.

If DIY is not for you there are plenty of companies out there who will print your T-shirt with your favourite design.
