Stop Wearing Polos WRONG (Style A Polo Shirt The RIGHT Way!)
About this video
Centeno teaches how to wear polo shirts correctly, covering common mistakes such as popping collars inappropriately, wearing wrinkled collars, poor fit, and wearing crew neck undershirts. He discusses fabric choices, layering techniques, color selection for versatility, and when to tuck versus leave untucked, while demonstrating how polos can be styled casually or formally depending on context.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that popped collars should only be used functionally to protect the neck from sun and elements, as they otherwise signal obnoxiousness to others
- Centeno recommends keeping polo colors simple and solid to ensure versatility and interchangeability with existing wardrobe pieces like jackets and dress shirts
- Centeno advises checking shoulder fit when purchasing polos, as they cannot be let out like other garments, and recommends V-neck undershirts if layering to avoid visible necklines
- Centeno argues that modern performance fabrics now rival cotton in quality and offer superior moisture-wicking and stain resistance compared to traditional jersey cotton
- Centeno recommends tucking polos when wearing them with sports jackets or suits, and notes that hem length and design indicate whether a shirt is meant to be worn tucked or untucked
