An adult wearing a polo looks funny as hell, like dressing up as an 8 year old kid, lol.
Odd comment, imo.
Are we talking golf shirts?
I'm female, work in business casual and have to be able to climb on the roof or in a crawlspace if necessary. I love polo shirts! Men's hold up better imo. I try to get lighter shades. Men's small fits fine. They're great under a sweater, too.
I only have one polo shirt that I have to wear when corporate comes to visit.
They did have the choice of the women's style with the curved cut & interlock fabric or the men's pique fabric.
I just went with the men's style since it fits just fine and the only colors they had for the women's one was white, pink, or light tan. Ever try to keep white/pink/light tan clean in a shop environment???
LOL
Anyhow, I liked the dark blue polo better if I gotta wear a polo.
I never wear polos. I did for 5 seconds in college, but found them to be unflattering.
Since then the only time I have worn them was when forced to as a uniform - once when I worked in retail and later when that was the tradeshow outfit for my company.
For women , yes, I can agree. But for men it's nice.
Well, I haven't worn a polo shirt in about 30 years, but I do have a background in fashion and textiles.
Men's clothing in general is made of heavier, stiffer materials; women's wear is made of softer, lighter fabrics that better conform to the body.
Men's clothing is usually made to last longer, too--I assume because men demand that their clothes last longer. Women's clothing is considered disposable because it will be out of fashion in a few months. I personally prefer clothes that last; I buy what I like, and don't replace it just because it's no longer in style.
Well, I guess some things do get really dated looking before they're completely worn out, like that shirt with the ginormous collar...
I don't have a strong feeling about polo shirts, one way or the other. They are a convenient, and, in most "business casual" offices, an acceptable, if forgettable, item of clothing. I haven't considered them a fashion statement () since the 80s. I can completely understand why people who have been required to wear them as part of a uniform hate them. Other than that, they are about as "whatever" as you can get.
I'm not sure why there is a difference between men's and women's polos, in terms of interlock vs. pique. I do think that pique looks a bit more dated, unless one is on a tennis court or golf course. It is also not as comfortable against the skin.

In college? With popped collar and an Oxford shirt over it.
40 years later, I still wear polo shirts, Nantucket reds, and classic brown leather Top Siders with no socks in the summer. I sail. It’s the uniform. “Pathetically Yacht Club”.
Look - I don't even KNOW what you are talking about. Seriously.
Wth is "pique" "interlock" "hybrid" or "performance"????
Polo shirts are good on men. I own many myself. I have NO IDEA if they are performance or pique.
Oh, and yes, I have a salmon colored one, which may count as pink.
I think they are generally not flattering on women -IMHO.
Pique is the traditional mesh knit for polo shirts.
Interlock is a softer cotton knit; essentially a double jersey knit.
Performance polos typically contain polyester and use moisture-wicking fabric and have sun protection. These are the typical golf and athletic polo shirts.
Hybrid polo shirts are a hybrid between a pique and a performance polo, which have properties of a performance polo but maintain the look of a pique polo. These often use a cotton/polyester blend.
Linksoul makes exceptional clothing. Many of their shirts are made from high tech fabrics but still drape beautifully and feel awesome. Their colors are muted perhaps due to a grounded, natural philosophy; hence, photos of shirts that are not artificially stretched to look perfect.
I literally intentionally choose shirts that DON'T drape at all. If I wanted to wear a toga, I would.
What's wrong with the name fluffypoopoo or Pink Jazz? Nothing, if it captures your personality.
Otherwise, meh.
You love polos, wear polos.
I do have a pink button-down shirt, but no polos.
I have several pink button-downs as well, mostly in lighter shades of pink.
