History of the Polo Shirt
The polo shirt isn't just the result of polo matches. In fact, there are other sports that lend their name to this article of clothing: specifically, golf and tennis. It was tennis players who first popularized this garment as a uniform. Rene Lacoste, a champion tennis player and future designer, was fed up with the restrictive, hot, and cumbersome button-up "tennis whites" that had been the normal garb for competitive play. He came up with a compromise: a short-sleeved, soft-collared, light-weight, polo that was more accommodating to competitive play. It remained white, and the original incarnations had "tails," so it retained a lot of its professional distinction. Soon, the eponymous polo became a wardrobe staple, and everyday citizens worldwide were adapting polo shirts into their repertoire. Gone were the days of, in essence, playing sports in full suits, and born was the now ubiquitous polo tee shirt !
