Polo shirts for men (36)

The Polo Shirt and Its History

The polo shirt has its origins in early 20th-century India. Polo players there wore short-sleeved, lightweight cotton jerseys – often striped – suited to the tropical climate. Inspired by these shirts, French tennis player René Lacoste simply cut the sleeves off his stiff, unruly white tennis shirts. This allowed him to comply with the strict dress codes of the "white sport" while still playing comfortably – conservative yet athletic. He also replaced the dense linen fabric with the lightweight, softer piqué fabric. The rest is history. The polo shirt has since gone on to conquer the world.

The Characteristics of the Polo Shirt

Its history makes it clear: the polo shirt was designed to be both smart AND sporty. The shirt collar and the often-added chest pocket are remnants of the dress shirt, lending a certain sense of status. The lightweight and comfortable piqué fabric, with its well-known waffle-like texture, gives the men's polo shirt its sporting character – allowing you to look relaxed despite the buttons and collar.

The Men's Polo Shirt as an Alternative to a Dress Shirt

The men's polo shirt is evolving into a true fashion staple. These practical shirts – elegant thanks to their often slimmer cut compared to dress shirts – can frequently be worn crease-free under a coat or blazer and still look fresh at the end of a long day. Today, polo shirts are no longer confined to the classic piqué look. Finer fabrics such as silk or merino wool have made their way in, adding even more elegance to this classic piece. In particular, the trigema men's polo shirt in DELUXE piqué with a collar made from high-quality woven fabric can even be paired with a tie in the office.

A Men's Polo Shirt for Every Occasion

The great advantages of men's polo shirts lie above all in their simplicity and versatility. Whether elegant at work, casual in your free time, stylish in the evening, or smart during sport – they go with everything. Pair them with suit trousers, jeans, or even short cargo pants. Buttoned up, open, or with a tie – the combinations are virtually endless. Thanks to the sporty men's polo shirt, every man cuts a fine figure in any situation.

Variety with the trigema Men's Polo Shirt

The button placket is another opportunity to give the classic men's polo shirt a fashionable edge. Short placket, long placket, decorative buttons, or a simple tone-on-tone finish. Contrast-coloured panels, a hem with side slits, or a longer-cut back panel all bring a fresh twist to the men's polo shirt collection.

Modern and classic colour combinations are another hallmark of trigema's men's polo shirts. Fine striped knit collars with contrast-coloured piping, or collars made from high-quality woven fabric, are among the characteristic features of the trigema men's polo shirt. All-over patterns and fashionable prints also appear from time to time, particularly in the nautical range. Beyond classic navy, the colour palette ranges from soft rosé through to modern mélange tones that transcend every trend.

The range is vast – there is something for every style.
