How A Men's Polo Shirt Should Fit - Part 3

About this video

The Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to polo shirts, focusing on proper fit and material selection. They explain how sleeve length, collar fit, and armhole placement should work, then break down different fit categories—classic, slim, and custom—to help viewers choose the right cut based on their body type.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that polo sleeves should end at about the midpoint of the biceps, with enough collar room for two fingers comfortably
• The Gazette team explains that fit terminology varies by brand, so understanding the differences between classic fit (roomier, better for less athletic builds), slim fit (tighter, for athletic builds), and custom fit (middle ground) is more useful than relying on brand labels alone
• The Gazette team recommends custom fit for men who are average-sized and not extremely athletic, as it offers a trimmer silhouette without excessive tightness
