The polo shirt is a classic choice for a variety of situations.

Made famous by casual Fridays, the polo has always been a great combination of business and casual.  While still acceptable in an office setting, polo’s have grown outside of the box and are now worn out on a daily basis by boaters, fishers, golfers, etc… Dressing up a nice pair of jeans with polo is an easy way to look great while still maintaining your cool.

Now this classic is getting an upgrade, and still looking good through it all.

A great new twist that has become popular with polo’s is the introduction of patterned plackets.  This area, where the buttons of the polo reside, is a great place for an upgrade, making the patterns noticeable, but modest nonetheless. 

Southern Tide is a pioneer of this new trend, offering polo’s with plackets in master plaid and seersucker patterns.  The patterned plackets are sure to be just the thing to make your polo shirt and you really stand out.

Another new trend in polo shirts is the variety of fits offered.

While traditional fitted polo’s are still in style, there is also a new kid on the block: the tailored fit.  Polo shirts with a tailored fit offer more slender guys a chance to look great as well.  The tailored fit is a sliming fit in the right areas, but also ads the comfort and style of a traditional fit in other places. 

So if you’re a fan of the classic polo shirt, check out Southern Tide for a refreshing change to the classic.  With new trends comes new styles and you’ll definitely want to be at the front of them.  From patterned plackets to tailored fits, polo’s have been rejuvenated, turning this classic into the coolest thing since sliced bread.
