The power of the polo

It’s a timeless piece that deserves a place in every wardrobe. The humble polo punches well above its weight, combining a smart silhouette with easy-care credentials and maximum room to move. In fact, it works just as well in a corporate-casual setting as it does for a busy healthcare shift – you just need to know how to style it. Here are three easy ways to incorporate the hardworking staple into your nine-to-five wardrobe, whatever the day holds for you.

1. Classic casual

When your work environment requires a more relaxed approach to dressing, a well-cut polo fits the bill. Whether worn in a hands-on Allied Health role or a busy hospitality setting, the smart silhouette lends a professional feel to easy separates. Our Antibacterial Polyface Short Sleeve Polo comes in a rainbow of shades for men and women – from subtle to standout – and offers a neat, ribbed collar and cuffs, which elevate the shape. Or, stay cool and look polished in our CoolPlus® Short Sleeve Polo, with fabric designed to wick moisture away from the skin and leave you feeling fresh. No matter the style, wear the split hemline loose for a laidback vibe or tuck yours into a pair of tailored Chino Shorts or our Chino Skirt for extra style credit. Just add fresh, white sneakers for a crisp finish. On cooler days, throw on a Zip-Neck Jumper that layers perfectly with the polo’s collar.

 

 

2. Room to move

So, you need to look pulled together while working on your feet all day. Pick a polo. In fact, pick the Antibacterial Polyface Tipped Polo, which comes in cuts for men and women. The contrasting flashes of white on the body, collar, cuffs and buttons add interest while delivering a flattering, streamlined effect. Paired with smart yet stretchy cotton Chinos, the result is both comfortable and capable while delivering plenty of elbow room. It’s an ideal choice for Allied Health workers, from carers to physios and OT; when you’re on the move, you’ll really appreciate the easy-care, lightweight construction these purpose-built pieces offer.

 

 

3. Professional polish

Think you can’t wear a polo to a corporate office? Think again. Styled with the right tailoring, it’s perfect for work. Choosing an elevated design is key, such as the Textured Short Sleeve Polo - Men / Textured Short Sleeve Polo - Women, which employs a refined two-tone fabric and a modern closer cut. Or, the new Cotton Pique Polo - Women / Cotton Pique Polo - Men, with its premium-feel, self-fabric collar. Tuck yours into relaxed suiting and add a leather belt and loafers for a business-like approach that still feels effortless to wear.
