At the same time as "white bread" in the blog I wrote before,
Polo shirts are an absolute must-have item this season.
This is another staple item that I continue to use as much as white bread.

I started wearing polo shirts around middle school.
As I wrote before, for me who was a "mod fashion" person,
So much so that I recognize that summer = polo shirt.
It is also an essential item for mods.
Especially the "Fred Perry" polo shirt,
It is an absolute presence not only for mods but also for London style.
Perhaps because of that, the teamers who were dressed in London fashion when they were in junior high school,
He also wore Fred Perry,
There was also something called "Fred Perry Hunting" which was a modification of Air Max Hunting.
What do you do with polo shirts that people wear?
I thought,
I don't want the things I bought with my little pocket money to be stolen,
It wasn't that popular at the time,
But I actually bought a brand that was the origin of polo shirts back then.




A polo shirt from Lacoste, a classic brand that needs no introduction.
In particular, the series L1212 can be said to be an eternal classic.

I love these so much that I can't even remember how many pairs I bought.
It all started with salmon pink, which I bought second-hand when I was in middle school.
I bought all the standard colors.
But sometimes I get bored and try other brands,
Although people buy polo shirts in fast fashion,
In the end, we return to the starting point.

By the way, existing polo shirts are
Regardless of color variations, quality, and price,
I would highly recommend Lacoste.

The color variations seem to be European brands.
There is a really wide range from exquisite colors to eccentric ones.
As usual, I bought navy this time as well.
The navy color is exquisite, neither too dark nor too light.
This color is not very common in domestic brands.
For example, Uniqlo's navy is "dark blue",
But Lacoste has a moderate bluish tinge, so
The feature is that it doesn't look heavy.

The quality of polo shirts varies considerably.
In fast fashion, the neckline often gets twisted,
The fabric may stretch.
Uniqlo has relatively high quality...
That one is an exception, it's not much different from Lacoste (lol)
But the color is so subtle,
In the end, I ended up choosing Lacoste even though it was a little expensive.

The price is quite good if you buy Lacoste at the regular price,
Parallel import costs around 6,000 yen.
Still, I wouldn't say it's cheap, but when you compare the color and quality,
Most cost effective.

And for the silhouette, personally, Lacoste suits me perfectly.
You won't know this until you try it on depending on your body type,
Lacoste has a slender silhouette,
yes,
This is the most important thing about polo shirts.
If your shoulders fall or you wear it loosely,
A polo shirt is the perfect way to feel like a dad on holiday.
Therefore, it is an item for which size is most important,
Make sure your shoulders are the same width,
This is an item that should be worn with a slightly tight fit.

And finally, the "logo" which is also the symbol of Lacoste.
Personally, I don't really like logos or patterns,
A polo shirt is a polo shirt because it has this logo on it.
Maybe you don't understand what I mean? (lol)
The point is, if there is no logo, it depends on how you match the clothes.
It gives off a cool biz-like business feel.
Polo shirts were originally designed to be worn during tennis.
Something that should look sporty.
It's not bad without a logo, but I don't want it to look like a business, so
After all, I want to wear something with a logo here.

You can get pretty hot with just a polo shirt,
Not only is it indispensable for the coming season,
It's something I've been using for many years, so
I like polo shirts because they are easy to wear.
Especially during this season, it's hot and sweaty.
Even though there are many factors that can cause stress,
When he looks hot, he looks strangely sloppy.
In such a case, it is better to wear a polo shirt neatly,
I feel cool and cool.

But no matter where you buy, size is definitely important.
Please remember this when purchasing!
