How Should a Polo Shirt Fit?

Four anatomical checkpoints for evaluating your polo shirt: shoulders, chest ease, sleeve cuff placement, and torso taper.

Four Anatomical Checkpoints

1. Shoulders: The shoulder seam should sit squarely on the acromion bone where your collarbone meets your arm socket. Seams drooping down the arm signal an oversized shirt.

2. Chest: You should have approximately 1.5 to 2 inches of ease on either side of your torso. The buttons should lie flat without pulling.

3. Sleeves: The ribbed sleeve cuff should terminate midway down your bicep, gently resting against the arm without constricting circulation.

4. Hem Length: The hem should fall midway down your trouser fly, allowing you to wear it untucked cleanly or tucked into trousers securely.
