Just because nobody else has addressed it yet, I would like to point out that clip-on sunglasses are a very practical and cost-efficient way to get some protection from the sun for those of us who have to wear glasses!
Wow, I don't get all this hatred against the polo shirt. I live in Edinburgh, UK, and everyone I know has one (I go to Univesity here just to give you an idea of the age range)... in fact, most of the so- called "style" guys (modeling pals love them) have them aplenty. The most popular ones are the Polo Ralph Lauren ones, most of them being plain colours. Worn with white t-shirt and jeans... kaki isn't really all that popular. As someone else here said earlier, a lot of people wear the polo shirts in a baggy way with huge trousers in the hip-hop style. Doesn't look too bad in my opinion. I think polo shirts are versatile, and because of that can sometimes look bad. Yet it's one of the best style of shirts... what else would you wear? Just regular t-shirts? I'm not quite sure, as a polo shirt can be so varied in style, it seems like it could be a good option or bad one, depending how big it is and what you wear it with. I don't think people can just disregard it as crap. Short sleeved shirts are never accepted under any circumstance here, and you will get shot if you wear them with a tie. That's just the style here I suppose, I'm not a big fan of them either so I guess I help dictate that in a way... hehe.
I agree, Ace! Good to hear from you - things looking better now? Edinburgh is a beautiful city, have fun there. Go Hearts of Midlothian! I have one of their old jerseys.
I just came back from H.E.B. where I saw a 30-something year old man with a true to life mullet. The first thing I thought of was this thread, after spending an ample amount of time staring that the "party end" of it in bewilderment. The man was wearing a tank top, not a polo. Polos rule. It's that simple.
My sister is a mullet hunter. If she has a camera with her and she spots a mullet, she takes a pic and shares it with her friends.
People can waste a lot of money trying to keep up with what's "in style." I pretty much just hate fashion in general. I have about half a dozen polo shirts, and if some trendy egghead with a supposed superior fashion sense deems them a faux pax, then maybe I'll just go buy some more out of spite.
Polo by Ralph Lauren is the most versatile shirt ever made. I wear them with Armani slacks to meetings with wealthy clients and with blue jean shorts to my son's baseball games as well. I'm a salt and pepper haired, boyishly handsome man of 45. Mullet of shirts my eye!
Kramer: Hey Jerry. What is this? Lady Gillette? What's going on? Jerry: What? Can't I get a moment's peace? Kramer: What are you doing to yourself? Jerry walks into camera view with his chest covered with shaving cream. Jerry: I can't stop. Alex thinks I'm naturally hairless. Kramer: You can't keep this up. Don't you know what's going to happen? Everytime you shave it, it's going to come in thicker and fuller and darker. Jerry: Oh that's an old wives tale. Kramer: Is it? Look at this. Kramer walks off-screen and opens his shirt. On-screen, Jerry reels from the sight. Kramer: (high pitched voice) Look at it! Look at it! And it's all me. I shaved there when I was a lifeguard. Jerry: Oh come on. That's genetics. That's not going to happen to me. Kramer: Won't it? Or is it already starting to happen?
wearing a black and white striped polo shirt and brown dress pants to work this morning... do with that what you will. i'm not going home to change!
I'm wearing a navy blue Ralph Lauren Polo with a stripe of light blue and white across the middle, and a red Polo logo. With khaki's, Ralph Lauren dark green dress socks, and brown loafers to work.
Well, it's looking like I have to sing the praises of the polo. As of 8:15 a.m. Pacific time, the "mullet" option and the "lesbian starter kit" option combined have 20.56%. Okay, let me try something in pseudo-iambic. Sincerely, "some trendy egghead" (LMAO, DCKid!)
Since I spend the majority of my free time on a golf course, you can probably guess how I feel about it. My feeling on tucking it in is the same feeling I have about white socks, unless you are wearing tennis shoes white socks are the wrong color.
Ode to the Sacred Shirt Oh Polo, with your handsome knit, I should not scorn -- I'm such a twit. Your subtle hue, contrasting border. Broadcasting: "May I take your order?" 'Cause Polo you're at home at work With dashing style, comfort's a perk. At a meeting, over accounts, You take the sweat, yes every ounce. And Polo, we'll go out at night. Untucked with flair, you're quite a sight. Professors mope, their jackets tacky, While hotties swarm you paired with khaki. Yes Polo, I once did malign Your fairest trait, that embroidered sign. That animal, that business name Send button-ups away in shame. Oh Polo, please do forgive me! My bitter heart's so full of envy. Those buttons three, that faux collar, "You're the best!" at last I holler.
I feel like Neo fighting off 100 polo-wearing clones... except I don't really have any special powers. j/k guys. I have admitted my complete defeat, in verse.
