Boys Polo Shirts

Posted on by

A polo shirt is basically a shirt that is T-shaped with either long or short sleeves and is one of the irreplaceable pieces of clothing in any closet. This is even more so for young boys who need to wear something that is durable but light, warm but breathes and is absorbent, and also matches with many types of shorts or long trousers and can be worn to almost any event.

A polo shirt is very versatile as it can be dressed up by tucking it in and pairing it with a jacket for a formal look or dresses down by leaving it un-tucked and wearing it with a casual pair of trousers/shorts and sneakers for a casual look.

When shopping for polo shirts, you need to be careful especially if you want to shop for original designs from well known brands like Ralph Lauren, Abercrombie or sports houses like Nike or Adidas.

Ensure you shop for original items as these popular brands tend to be a bit pricier and may even cost hundreds of dollars while other common brands may only be a few dollars at stores.

You also need to make sure you look at the fabric of the polo shirt you are buying as you need something which is comfortable and absorbent. This is especially so because polo shirts are mostly worn during the hot season and need to be the type that doesn’t irritate when worn right next to the skin.

Some good polo shirts for boys that are available on Amazon are as follows:

1. Short Sleeve Pique Polo- School Uniform

This simple polo shirt comes in light blue, red and navy blue variations and has been confirmed to be one of the pieces that are approved by most schools as part of their uniform.

Its soft texture means that it is comfortable enough to be worn next to the skin and it is breathable enough to ensure that any all the activity which boys engage in need not be overly sweaty and sticky for them.

It is very reasonably priced at $9.99 from Dockers especially considering its versatility in use plus the fact that the knit polo is durable and will last quite a while.

Choosing French Cuff Dress Shirts

Posted on by

French Cuff dress shirts are a type of clothing that you can use any time though they are particularly suitable when you want that formal or ‘no – nonsense’ look. They are a favorite among business or corporate folk. This therefore calls for careful selection for the most suitable French cuff dress shirts to avoid some embarrassing moments or that ridiculous look.

French cuff dress shirts come in different sizes, colours, textures, as well as designs. When it comes to selection, the first thing you need to know is your size. This will mean taking measurement of your arm length and neck sizes. We have different size varieties depending on the type of manufacturer.

There are different fabrics from which French cuff dress shirts are made and so you will need to find one that suits you in terms of texture. Available fabrics are Linen, Silk, Cotton and Polyester. Cotton is most popular and is available in a variety of textures such as Pinpoint, Poplin, Oxford and Twill. You will be guided by the properties of the different textures to pick what is most suitable for you.

 

Neckties are an accessory for French cuff dress shirts and it is important that you choose one that matches what you are wearing. You will not have a problem with French cuff dress shirts that have a solid color, as these will go very well with most neckties. What you will need to be careful with are French dress shirts with checkered, plaid or strip patterns as this requires some little bit of thought to find the perfect necktie. Generally striped shirts should be worn with striped neckties bearing in mind that the strips should not be the same! The colour of your necktie needs to have at least one matching color with any other part of your clothing or accessory. The one mistake you can make when it comes to French cuff dress shirts is to have three pieces of clothing with the same pattern. You will be setting yourself for some major embarrassment by wearing a three piece patterned suit. This is a no no!

French cuff dress shirts are becoming trendier by the day, with the reserved look slowly but surely being replaced by a louder and not so formal look.
