I always think there’s something cool about a polo, but there is such a thing as polo perfection. And of course I don’t mean a polo with a polo player’s logo on it. That’s too posh for my style. And you know that I love contrast in an outfit. So a cool polo with a feminine skirt. I first wanted to say, yes, a skirt is always feminine. But that’s not the case these days anymore, haha, now I really sound like an old woman. I am…..
How to wear a polo to perfection?
A polo has always had a certain look. But of course it does depend on the material, the colour and the way you wear it. I mean, polo perfection is also when worn with a classic pair of trousers and expensive brogues. But that is not the perfection I am seeking for. The polo of course comes from the sport of polo, which dates back to the 19th century. The players tied a collar to their shirt and the buttons prevented the collar from flapping up and down while galloping. Funny right! Lacoste designed the polo as we know it today.
Polo’s like the original ones are not cool in my eye. I see men in red trousers before me in polo and thinking…..nah……not cool. Middle aged women in culottes and polo……nah…..not cool. It’s a dressy look, nothing wrong with it, but not for me. So how to wear a polo and not look posh, but a bit cool?
How I wear a polo
With a skirt of course! I think a pleated skirt with a hip pass is super beautiful and super feminine. I don’t know if this is the correct translation, but I mean a waistband that follows the curve of the hips and is longer than a regular waistband. This is especially nice with pleated skirts because you don’t immediately have the pleats starting from the belly.
This set is one of the few new clothes I bought this season. The golden espadrilles are from last year. After black, green is my favourite color. The colour of nature! The skirt is a beautiful pistachio green. The only disadvantage is that there are no pockets in it. But the colour and design more than make up for it. The bit posh look of the polo fit perfect with a skirt like this. And because of the khaki colour it’s pretty cool right? So polo perfection for me!
I am wearing green earrings that are very old but the colour always looks fabulous. It is the perfect shade of green. And gold and green bracelets, the gold comes back in the espadrilles that I bought last year for Celina’s wedding. I learned that if you wear a certain colour in your accessories, it’s best to wear it in uneven numbers. So like the golden espadrilles, and the bracelet and my necklace. It’s more pleasant to the eye. I believe that is true.
