MENS FASHION TIP: MEN FASHION TIP: How to Wear: The Polo Neck


  • Know Your Knit – If you are going for a smarter style, or are in the office, opt for a fine-gauge knit. If not, feel free to go chunky; just ensure it fits comfortably under your blazer.
  • Get the Perfect Fit – Polo necks (especially when fine-gauge) can be brutally unforgiving, the perfect fit is snug but definitely not tight.
  • Block Colours Only – Rather self-explanatory, patterns are great but are best left alone here; you’ve got enough going on with the extra material up top.
  • Be Confident – This has become a bit of a buzzword (or phrase) at FashionBeans but the blunt truth is confidence matters. Polo necks may be (wrongly) regarded by some as a general fashion faux pas and proving these naysayers wrong is not a matter of wearing a polo neck but owning it.
