It's that versatility of the polo shirts that makes it a staple in almost everyone's closet.

Polo shirts come in a massive variety of colors, materials, and patterns. These shirts can be found in almost every solid color as well as striped and ribbed in every imaginable way. You can find these shirts on both men and woman making it just about as versatile as t-shirt. The polo shirt came into fashion around the early 20th century, introduced as a more comfortable tennis outfit (more informations on Wikipedia). The previous outfits were long sleeved and difficult for the players to move around in so the polo shirt was invented as the solution. These stylish, short sleeved shirts quickly caught on outside of the tennis world and are still being re-imagined today. These shirts are used as the jerseys for several different sports as well including, soccer, rugby, and of course polo, the sport in which the shirt received its name.

Nowadays it is difficult to find somebody who doesn't own at least one polo shirt as its versatility makes it almost too good to pass up. We shall continue to see these shirts in the office, on the streets, and on the course for some time to come.
