I should have scaled down the quote I used. I'm not arguing the mullet point. I don't know anything about mullets except that the guy from "Full House" had one. I was arguing your point that polo's are "for middle-aged guys with titanium clubs and a bald spot."
as mentioned, polos are very versatile. they can be worn up or down. ive sported it with my drawstring shorts and flip flops, or mix it up and wear it with a blazer and chinos. in order of preference, i like... lacoste pique stretch ralph lauren custom-fit polo brooks brothers slim-fit polo
Ha, well, fair enough, but that's still who I think of when I see them hanging on the rack in stores.
I think I own like 20 polo shirts. As someone who wears polo shirts everyday, I'd like to point out that polo-wearers pwned the haters in the poll by 80%.
rules to live by: http://www.fratty.net/27989/28124.html i sport the pony whenever possible, frequently with the collar popped.
I love BR's dress shirts, I think striped shirts with a suit looks great http://www.bananarepublic.com/brows...=BR_Trans_2004&cs_category=1016&cs_id=5329968
yeah, thanks twhy77, for resurrecting my greatest defeat ever. Maybe it *is* an LC thing. Did Behad post in this thread? As for the Blockbuster connection, please see my poem on the previous page: "Your subtle hue, contrasting border... Broadcasting: may I take your order."[/ b]
I wear a lot of polos, some Ralph Lauren, some Tommy, some plain with no logo (i.e. Old Navy)...I have some stripped, but mostly solid...I wear them because it's casual and I also wear short sleeve button down shirts...In Houston, or in hot climates, a Polo shirt is a must... Also, did anyone catch the South Park episode last night...It was about Queer Eye for the Straight Guy...It was freakin' hilarious...
OK about this starter lesbian thing: Wearing a polo only completes the look. If any other heterosexual chick wears a polo, it looks fine by me, but if some butch looking chick wears one, that's it - you've got lesbian written all over you. I own 2 polos: one from Albertsons, one from Quiznos.(I don't work at either of those places) I wear them occasionally because I get tired of wearing T-shirts all the damn time, and I don't want to wear any of my "nice" tops.
LC in the house! Our home town had many real mullets, not many golfers. maybe that's why we don't like polo shirts. meggo, how did you get those business polos if you don't work there? ... and, why?
WHY: In high school I used to work at a bunch of places where polos were uniform, and they were ugly as sin and were 2 sizes too big for me (and I hated them), but everyone at school wore them (and looked good in them), and I just always wanted a polo that I liked and looked good in. HOW: When I got into college, I worked at Albertsons - I just ganked one that actually fit me and was a decent color. I got the quiznos one from a friend who no longer worked there. Actually, I've got craploads of shirts from different businesses. It's just funny to walk into Subway wearing a Quiznos shirt, or walking into a HEB wearing an Albertsons shirt.
well, you realize of course that if you tire of wearing T-shirts and you dont want to wear "nice' tops... you could always go topless....it's the look that never goes out of style. just funnin ya of course.......or am I?
B-Bob: You are completely and utterly on to something. And SWTsig: fratty.net was full of painful unintentional comedy. Are they for real?: bahahahahahahaha I wouldn't be caught dead in a polo shirt. I also own nothing khaki, nor would I ever wear a baseball cap that sported the logo of anything but a sports franchise I was a fan of, and under no circumstances would I ever turn it backwards unless I was Brad Ausmus. When I went to visit my dad in Laughlin, Nevada, he was on a chartered comp flight from Corpus Christi, bringing in a whole 737 load into the casino. I could spot all the guys from Corpus in the crowd by the Marlboro man mustaches, baseball caps, and polo shirts tucked into either khaki, denim or coach shorts. It was like the middle-aged, blue collar version of the frat boy, and was no less laughable. There were at least 10 guys in the low stakes blackjack area that easily could have passed for my dad from even a reasonably close distance. But my dad is pushing 60. He's getting into the whole pulling up his pants past his navel thing and telling long stories about his riding lawnmower. It's ok for him to dress like he builds model trains, and anything beats the decade or so when his wardrobe was nothing but XXL coveralls, because he couldn't fit into anything else. But let my father be a lesson for you half his age or less with an unathletic build. Polo shirts are not a flattering cut on the gut, and those pleats on the khaki shorts add a few inches to your waistline. It has that frog effect, big bellowing belly and spindly legs hanging down... And tucked in? The essence of dorkville. Larry Dierker's print shirts are definately two orders of magnitude cooler. Hell, a mullet and brightly colored western shirt with snaps is almost in a way, cooler.
