Why Polo Shirts Are So Suitable for Summer Days
Once temperatures get too high to go outside wearing long-sleeved clothing, there are two options for you to wear. T-shirts are very popular for summer months. But there are people who don’t like the look of a T-shirt. Polo shirts also have short sleeves, but in addition, they have a collar and buttons in front. Those buttons come down to about chest-height. Because of this, a polo shirt looks like a cross between a T-shirt and a button-up shirt. Many people think a polo shirt looks a bit more elegant and luxurious as a result. At the same time, a polo shirt has quite a sporty appearance.
Part of that has to do with the history of the polo shirt, since polo shirts were originally designed as sports shirts. As tennis shirts, to be exact. A shirt you wear while practising sports needs to be soft, so it will not chafe when it comes into contact with your skin. The fabric used to make the shirt also needs to be flexible enough to move along with you. An Airforce boys’ polo shirt scores full marks on both of those aspects. And did you know that the collar of a polo shirt was designed to protect your neck against the sun when worn up?
What Fabrics Are in a Boys’ Polo Shirt?
There are only two fabrics that are soft, flexible and lightweight enough to make a comfortable polo shirt: cotton and polyester. Nearly all Airforce polo shirts are made out of a blend of both of those fabrics. The advantage of both cotton and polyester is the fact that these fabrics are very soft to the touch. Cotton is also very breathable, which will keep you cool on a hot day. Polyester, on the other hand, is unlikely to crease. Our boys’ polo shirts also contain a small percentage of spandex fibres. These fibres make the fabric slightly stretchy, making our boys’ polo shirts extra comfortable.
At Airforce, we use the best fabrics exclusively. Because of this, you can count on the fact that a boys’ polo shirt from our online store will be comfortable and long-lasting. You can buy an Airforce boys’ polo shirt in a relatively large size for a boy who is still growing. The designs of our polo shirts contribute to that as well. Our polo shirts for boys are characterized by robust, plain designs, sometimes enhanced by a small logo or subtle stripes. Such designs will remain in fashion for much longer than busy designs with lots of details that won’t be trendy anymore when the next season comes around.
Which Size for a Boys’ Polo Shirt?
Our boys’ polo shirts are available in sizes 4 to 16. The size roughly corresponds to the age of the boy who will wear the polo shirt. But of course, different boys grow at different rates. If you aren’t sure which size to order, we recommend checking out our size charts. That is where you will find the exact measurements of our garments. So not just those of our polo shirts, but also those of our boys’ summer jackets or our boys’ shorts. For polo shirts and T-shirts, the general length and the chest size are the most important sizes.
What also matters is how you intend to wear your polo shirt. Do you prefer to wear a polo shirt that runs quite large, or do you prefer it to be a tighter fit? If you would like to wear your polo shirt once it gets a bit colder – underneath a boys’ sweater or hoodie, for instance – it’s usually best to wear a hoody that doesn’t run too large, so you can comfortably wear a jumper over it. If you aren’t sure which size to order, you can always choose to order your polo shirt in a larger size.
