Beat the Summer Heat; Pick the Polo Shirt that Fits

Summer is here. In a tropical country like Philippines where summer means social gatherings and being completely covered in sweat at the same time, Filipinos go for fashionable shirts that could also keep you cool. What do you think about polo shirts? They come in different styles here in the Philippines.

Polo shirts are an easy pick whatever the occasion is in the Philippines. With the right combination of shoes and accessories, you are always dressed up for any occasion!

So what are the things you should remember about wearing polo shirts this summer?



Fabric

Like any other shirts out there, polo shirts are made of different kinds of fabric. And as the Philippine temperature continually rises, it is good to consider the kind of fabric used on your polo shirt. There are several kinds of fabric you could choose from such as 50/50 blend, 100% cotton, pique, organic cotton and polyester among others. Cotton fabrics work well for active individuals. They are also breathable and are great for hot temperatures. On the other hand, polyester is more flexible and cheaper to manufacture. However, it is less breathable and sticks to the perspiring skin.



Color


From the abundance of colors available, mixing and matching can get confusing. As the color of your polo shirt tell something about your mood, make sure that it looks good on you and goes well with the temperature. To stay cool and dry even under the heat of sun, wear light colored polo shirts. Light colors reflect light back and absorb less heat than dark ones.



Cut


Make sure that your polo shirt is not too big nor too small for your body size. Pick a polo shirt that fits you; sizes that are not to big (even if baggy = airy) and not to body hugging.


If you are going to go out and want to be prepared for both the heat and what the exciting day might throw at you, go for a polo shirt! It’s slightly formal but it is also very casual; you can go to most any event with it AND, with the right make, it’s great against the summer heat.
