Pretty instead of posh: polo shirts for every type of woman

Sometimes the history of fashion is really simple: in the 1930s, the former French tennis professional and fashion designer, René Lacoste, was looking for sportswear suitable for his tennis matches and without further ado designed the polo shirt. This stretchy shirt with short sleeves, collar and button placket quickly became a favourite in sports fashion. Nowadays, polo shirts are indispensable in everyday life and flatter every type of woman – whether as an XS size for particularly slim women or an XXL design for curvy beauties.

An eye-catcher with fashionable details: when is the best time to wear polo shirts?

From sports garment to an absolute essential: women's polo shirts have long since ceased to be worn just for sports. The chic short-sleeved shirt has successfully made it from the tennis court to the catwalk. Thanks to fashionable details such as the narrow collar and the sophisticated button placket, it is both a shirt for everyday and for special occasions. The stretchy fabric ensures an optimal fit and the feminine cut makes every woman look stunning. Whether sleeveless, with short sleeves or 3/4-length sleeves, this classic is an indispensable favourite for every season.

Stylish with a timeless character: a polo shirt gives you the opportunity to create numerous looks. The tops made of soft and stretchy cotton or elastane also feel comfortable and look flattering in larger sizes such as XL or XXL. With a polo shirt, there are no limits to your individuality. Anything that inspires is allowed. Their colours and patterns range from subtle classics and fashionable trend colours, extravagant checks and stripes to playful prints and elaborate embroidery.

Tip: Unbuttoned or buttoned: it doesn't matter – you can do both! An unbuttoned long-sleeved polo shirt creates a casual feel, while a fully closed button placket creates a more distinctive look.

Colourful and comfortable: which polo shirts are suitable for leisure and sport?

Your spare time should be fun, this also applies to your outfit: a polo shirt in an eye-catching trend colour is always a fashionable choice. Anyone who prefers to dress in classic denim and in subtle colours such as black, grey or white can spice up their casual look with a shirt with a colourful collar. The women's tops with button placket are a sporty-chic alternative to a classic T-shirt. For cold days there are also comfortable long-sleeved polo shirts available.

A sports garment that has reached cult status: the polo shirt with 3/4-length sleeves is indispensable in sportswear. Not only professional athletes love this uncomplicated and stylish shirt. Whether you go jogging, go to the gym or to the tennis court: polo shirts in plain colours or with patterns can be combined with casual jogging trousers, tight-fitting yoga trousers or a skirt. The sleeveless women's polo shirt is a team player for particularly strenuous training sessions.

Tip: Anyone who wants to be styled perfectly from head to toe should wear a functional sports bra underneath the polo shirt during exercise. This type of bra offers a high degree of comfort and support.

Sporty and chic: which women's polo shirts are ideal for a business look?

Formal is so yesterday and today's office look is casual: a feminine polo shirt is sexy, sporty and chic at the same time. If you love an elegant business outfit, choose stylish, plain colours such as white, black, dark blue or grey. These timeless colours also create a feminine silhouette while small imperfections are easily but skilfully concealed. A half-open button placket makes a feminine and confident business look.

Do you dare to wear: if you find a plain-coloured polo shirt too boring for your office ensemble, you can go for a patterned polo shirt. A colourful floral print lifts up the spirits in the workplace on summer days, while a polo shirt with elaborate embroidery looks particularly classy. In fashion, however, sometimes less is more: a polo shirt with a traditional check pattern or classic stripes is anything but conventional, yet it is cool and casual.

Tip: Choose your business attire carefully – make sure that it is not too dull! With long necklaces or colourful scarfs, a serious and timeless office look becomes a trendy outfit.

Styling tips: how do you combine polo shirts

Whether you go for simple elegance or an individual colour combination, you'll always create the perfect look with a polo shirt. The sporty shirts with collar are extremely suitable for everyday wear and give every outfit an added dash of panache.

Creating a cool, casual look is really easy with a 3/4-length polo shirt because it goes perfectly with classic jeans in bootcut, boyfriend or skinny style or with airy and casual linen trousers. Top off with chic sandals and you're good to go. Does the outfit needs to be a bit more extravagant? A tight-fitting polo shirt with a button placket and a pair of trendy culottes or traditional pleated trousers with sneakers is inspired by the latest catwalk trends.

But how should you combine a polo shirt to create a suitable business outfit for women? This is quite simple as the feminine shirt teamed with trousers or skirt makes a great look for any type of job. Timeless colours or subtle patterns are suitable for a more formal style. On the other hand, if you prefer something a bit more eye-catching, go for colourful polo shirts. When choosing matching shoes, anything goes – from high-quality heels to cute wedges and snow-white sneakers.

Good to know: Every woman looks fabulous in a polo shirt. If you want to accentuate your figure, tuck in the short-sleeved shirt into your trousers and wear a chic belt. Wear the shirt untucked for a casual look and to cleverly conceal a little extra weight.

Tip: Fashion also means showing courage: increase your fashion cred with a combination of a slipover and a polo shirt . An elegant women's polo shirt with a narrow collar worn under a sleeveless slipover is an eye-catching look for special moments.
