    Partnering in a business and one of the partners wants to get branded polos to ‘look more professional’ when we meet in public. I give zero ***** and prefer to let people underestimate me when I’m wearing a tshirt or tank top, shorts and matching converse or flip-flops.

    If the business involves package delivery, tornado chasing, or pet grooming, I support the partner's point of view. Otherwise, well...

    What do you wear when you play golf? A turtleneck?

    Are you talking to me? I don't play golf (no time for it, though it looks like something I would honestly enjoy).
    If I played golf, I think a polo would be appropriate for that.

    Golf in San Francisco, on the other hand, could probably warrant a turtleneck. I don't have one of those either, however.

    Could I gain the ability to time travel if I was wearing a polo while sporting a mullet behind the wheel of an El Camino? Hypothetically speaking, of course.

    I am always surprised when I come back to visit Houston and see Polos somewhat regularly. Living in Colorado, I couldn't tell you the last time I've seen a person wear a polo, its super cringe any time I see one.

    LOL. I cringe when I see men wearing capris or carrying purses.

    I work from home full time, so it's shorts and dry-fit t-shirts for me. If I go out, it's kaki shorts, flips, and a dry-fit collared golf shirt. I do have a Sam Houston Columbia fishing shirt. And lots of Astros/Texans gear. And concert shirts (only from bands that I actually like).

    I have a bunch of cotton short sleeve polo-like shirts my wife buys me, but Houston is too hot to wear cotton shirts. Dry fit FTW.

    I have several henleys (long sleeve) -- they make sense for foggy, chilly weather. No monograms though.
    A henley isn't trying to pretend to be anything much beyond comfortable long underwear, LOL.

    Sorry that you made me self conscious about looking like a mid career booz allen worker drone in my khakis and polo when I am supposed to be relaxing on the weekends.
