The Polo Shirt - Men's Wardrobe Essentials - Navy, Black, White, Pique, Silk, Cotton
About this video
Weston teaches men how to select and style polo shirts as essential wardrobe pieces. She covers fabric selection based on body type, appropriate color and pattern choices, and demonstrates multiple outfit combinations ranging from casual to dressed-up looks.
Key takeaways
- Weston argues that heavier-set men should choose pique cotton polos, which have a textured fabric that disguises imperfections, while men in decent shape can wear smoother cotton or cotton-silk blends
- Weston recommends beginners start with basic colors—black, navy, white, and charcoal gray—that work with any wardrobe and flatter all skin tones
- Weston advises avoiding logos, plaids, and wide stripes on polo shirts, and suggests keeping patterns minimal with stripes no wider than one inch for intermediate dressers
