Whether for elegant or casual looks: long-sleeved polo shirts can be combined in many ways. With such a long-sleeved shirt you are just as well dressed for a dinner with friends as for a relaxed weekend stroll.

What is a men's long sleeve polo shirt?

• Long-sleeved polo shirts for men have a contrasting collar and a neckline underneath with a short button placket or zip.
• The long sleeves make these shirts look more official and are also suitable for the office, while short-sleeved polo shirts are more suitable for the beach or vacation.
• The collar stands up on its own in these models as it is usually made of a stronger cotton material. So you don't need to iron to get the collar stiff.

How do you find a suitable model?

Casual business

If you want to appear shirtless but still business-appropriate for Casual Friday, choose, for example, a light gray polo shirt with a short button placket with black chinos and dark shoes. A men's leather belt in a matching color completes your outfit.

Festive for a birthday dinner

For a family birthday party in a restaurant, a blue and white striped, long-sleeved polo shirt with a patch chest pocket and contrasting buttons is a good choice. With its figure-hugging cut, the polo shirt goes very well with tight-fitting dark men's jeans and brown suede shoes.

Sporty look for everyday wear

For a casual off-duty look, pair a navy blue long-sleeved zip-up polo shirt with ripped jeans and white sneakers. A dark green men's army-style shirt goes well with the sporty outfit. White long-sleeved polo shirts are also suitable for riding or golfing.

How to find the right cut and fit

• Long-sleeved polo shirts are often available in a slim fit; their shape emphasizes your upper body.
• You can also find loose-fitting models with side slits and oversized long-sleeved polo shirts. These models have a wider cut in the chest and stomach area and are a little looser.
• If the shoulder seams on the arms line up with your upper arm, you have found a model with the right width.
• You should pay attention to the correct length for all models: a long-sleeved polo shirt should end just below the waistband of your trousers. This means it doesn't slip up when you sit.

6 tips: How to care for your long-sleeved polo shirt

1. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on the label.
2. Close button placket and zippers before washing to avoid damaging these items.
3. Merino wool shirts can be gently cleaned in the wool cycle at 30° C and 40° C with a special wool detergent. Avoid using fabric softener to avoid damaging the natural material.
4. Long-sleeved polo shirts made from wool and cotton can also be washed in the washing machine at 30°C. You can keep your shirt wrinkle-free using a wool detergent and a low spin speed.
5. Cashmere models absorb little odor and you can let them air well. If you need to wash them, hand wash them at 30°C with wool detergent.
6. Dry your long-sleeved polo shirts on a hanger. This way they dry wrinkle-free and you can put them back on straight away.

Long sleeve polo shirts for men

Long-sleeved polo shirts for men are an important basic that gives men's everyday and casual clothing a casual and sporty look.
High-quality materials, supple fibers and brilliant colors make the simple shirts a modern classic that belongs in every wardrobe. The elegant shirts are also standard equipment for golf and ensure style even on cool days.

Classic with button placket and collar

Polo shirts, golf shirts and tennis shirts can be recognized by the typical button placket, which usually has three buttons. A slightly reinforced collar and elastic cuffs on the sleeves ensure the unmistakable look of the long-sleeved polo shirts for men and guarantee a good fit.
The simple shirts end below the hips, have a straight cut and fit normally to form-fitting. Some shirts also have a small chest pocket. This is particularly advantageous when golfing as it offers space for a scorepad and a pen.
By the way, long-sleeved polo shirts are made of soft fibers that are woven into an elastic, loose fabric. Cotton is the traditional material, although some shirts are also made from elastic fibers, synthetic fibers, merino or silk.
Plain polo shirts in black, white, navy blue or gray are a casual classic that you can wear in your free time, while traveling, on vacation or while playing sports. They go perfectly with loose-fitting chinos, linen trousers or summery Bermuda shorts.

Long-sleeved polo shirts for men as a noble underneath

Long-sleeved polo shirts for men are particularly suitable as an additional layer under cozy merino sweaters or chunky knit Norwegians. The collar gives even casual sweaters a formal look and the soft cotton shirt protects the skin from irritation that sweaters made from natural fibers can cause. By the way, black and white polo shirts can be combined with sweaters of any color. Patterned polo shirts or shirts with an embroidered collar are best worn with a sweater from the same color family. For an unusual look, play with contrasts and wear a polo shirt and sweater in contrasting colors.
