My first suggestion, to everyone, is to do the work to GET RID OF THE DAD BOD!! The rest of the fit will come easier. Quality material and quality fit are worth the money most of the time. I am still wearing Polo shirts that I BOUGHT IN THE EARLY 80s. Learn to sew and repair. The fact that you have a skill makes the manufacturer realize that THEY are the option and must work for your purchase.
very true. A female friend told me that instead of your clothing following your body, its better that your body following your clothes (of choice), meaning try to change ones mindset to gain a better body. But my wifey kinda feels sad when I loss my dad body since she used to like that squishy pillow stomach 😂
I've preferred polos to tees since I was a kid, even when they were out of fashion. And you're absolutely right about a low-price polo being a better option if it fits; that's why I'm lucky that I found such a cheap option for myself.
Great video, Antonio, but regarding the tucked in polo, I have a gut so tucked in doesn’t look good on this body the way it did on your models. I guess one needs to go with what looks best and what feels most comfortable.
I buy my polos from this "hood" clothing store. They have them for about 15 bucks. Thick material and great colors. But the cut is surprisingly flattering for my body. Sleeves are fitted and perfect lenght. Not to short that rides up my armpit and not long that they look sloppy. Colar is not flimsy and it hugs the body nice without showing off my dad bod. It does the contrary, it highlights my good areas and makes me look "buff".
Once I started wearing polos I got a compliment by another guy in the gym changing room. He asked me: "Are you going to a party or something?" I was wearing my polo with a necklace on top of it, with black sweatpants, white tennis socks and white sneakers. Polos really make you look a little bit more respectable.
@@msk3905Why? I thought it looked nice. And the collar prevents me from wearing any necklaces on my neck because they can't be seen. Plus my necklace has a pendant in it if that changes anything
What about for the guys who choose the fries instead of the salad? What about for the bigger guys? Some of us are losing weight but want to still look good along the way.
I wear polos all the time but they have to be the soft cotton polos, the cotton poly blend with the texutre doesn't wear properly. It tends to scrunch up on my shoulders & I look like I have shoulder pads because those aren't really fitted for a muscular guy like myself. But I agree, they're an easy dress up & look great.
To each their own: I tend to find the exact opposite. Not only have my cotton-poly shirts of all types typically outlasted pure cotton (at least at my price point), but they dry out more easily and, due to the sensory sensitivities I have as the result of autism, they feel smoother and cooler on my skin. I have also not suffered the same fit-related problems.
I'm just here to say how much I love that you have an Explorer I on your wrist in the thumbs-up still at the end of your intro. Explorer I is fantastic, and I love mine! 'rah!
I have to wear a burgundy Polo T shirt for work as it’s my uniform. I wear a size small, tucked into my black or dark blue cargo trousers with black shoes. Thanks for the tips for the Polo T-shirts with other clothing choices. 😎
Great advice as always Mr. Centeno! And yes the Polo is a great substitute for the casual T Shirt as we age and looks fantastic without looking too stuffy with either a Sports Jacket or Blazer. Thank you and your Team for all the great content you guys make!
Thinking of using Polo Shirts again as I had a time I realy hated them xD. But gues it will be even harder now to find the exact one I'm looking for with all the details right xD
It's unfortunate that Collars amd Co. Only sells shirts for taller dudes. Their models are 5'10" wearing smalls, so being 5'6", they don't have anything for me.
Which polos from Collars & Co are the ones you can take out of a suitcase and wear without ironing? Don't see any where they talk about that as a selling point.
Love the polo shirt mainly because I golf. However, when wearing these types of shirts, I become aware of sweat stains showing in the armpits. Have you made a video about hyperhidrosis? What products would you recommend?
The 80s 'rich kids' trend, with layering 3 or 4 RL, Lacoste or Robe Di Kappa (on the same level back in the day..) and coming back after lunch break with another 3 or 4 different polos on top of each other. 🤓
What are your thoughts on buttoning the top button of a polo? Or a dress shirt without tie? I would love to see a video with your take on the top button of a shirt
The funny thing is the button down collar was invented for polo playing because the players didn't want the collars flying up and then the polo shirt, invented not for polo, was then adopted by polo players because they could turn up the collar. Make up your minds, lads!
Good timing this, I've never worn a Polo before until recently, my girlfriend returned from a trip to Italy and bought two for me, a very similar blue one to what you're wearing, and a beige one, I typically wear the grandfather shirt with suspenders, a classic look one might say so this sudden change was difficult, I had no idea what I was wearing so I am grateful for this video.

Collars & Co are 100% polyester. 🤮. A stylish gentleman should never wear polyester. The only acceptable fabrics are cotton, linen, wool or silk. NO POLYESTER . This also applies to performance suites.
@@spaztekwarriorI think the op has a point. It’s hard to find natural materials however You will look way better in natural. IMO The new poly is much better than the stuff when I was a kid! 🤮😂
Agreed. It’s not just about style. Research has shown synthetic materials are actually electrically charged differently from natural fibers and pull energy from you. Over time, this affects your day-to-day performance. Wearing fabrics that are at least primarily natural fibers, if not 100%, will feel better and help you be at your best mentally and physically.
@@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou LOL. And there is, theoretically, a potentially logical need for oversized tires on a pickup truck. Yet, 99% of people with oversized tires...
@@AlexKilpatrick81 So don't judge the 1% based on the 99%. And frankly, I don't think I've ever even seen anyone with a popped collar in real life. Moreover, there's nothing inherently wrong with it-just like wearing a baseball cap backward to protect your neck from the sun when it's behind you.
All that material bunching up on his right shoulder during entire video is distracting and embarrassing. Shirt doesn't lay flat across the top of his back when he turns around.
one other video add for colar and co ,, you know wee are so tire of see adds that the majority will never buy stuff from them ,, handom belt , thriday boots , and colar and co ,

I love my own dad bod.
Do you think we're not TRYING!? Let me see YOU do my workout of kettlebell Turkish situps one of these days!
What about looking good while losing weight instead of waiting to get to the finish line? Fellas at least want to look better while on the journey.
@@TheSaneHatterNot a problem. Give it. Although, kind of strange that you would assume that others could not do what you are doing.

Polo shirts are timeless. Even though they have had their trends, I feel like they never go out of style.
Dad bod Antonio? You’re benching what looks like 225 with ease bruh. 💪🏽
Great video, Antonio, but regarding the tucked in polo, I have a gut so tucked in doesn’t look good on this body the way it did on your models. I guess one needs to go with what looks best and what feels most comfortable.
Hey, Antonio! What are your thoughts on long sleeve polos?
Close the upper button and check if the polo fits your neck as a dress shirt. This way the collar looks good unbuttoned I found out..

Timely video. Just returned from brief vacation in Johannesburg after buying several polo t-shirts at Ralph Lauren, Woolworths and Edgars
I love your intro music, please 🙏 dnt ever change it!!!!
The timing of this video is perfect since I've slowly getting into waering polos.
Polos are amazing, i dont wear t shirts anymore. button or buttonless polos everytime

Hi Antonio,
Lacoste Polo are my favorite! ❤❤❤ my Lacoste. Hang dry after washing no Dryer.
Great video 👍
ayo I literally JUST needed this
😁
What colors would you recommend for light skin and bald? Same as light skin, light hair?
Amazing video! Well... Unfortunately Collars & CO isn't available in my country as far as I know. I wish I could get some wonderful polo shirts.

The multiple color look was going on in the mid-80s.

Antonio, one question about wearing polos. Do you wear an undershirt under a polo?
Love the polo shirt mainly because I golf. However, when wearing these types of shirts, I become aware of sweat stains showing in the armpits.
Have you made a video about hyperhidrosis? What products would you recommend?
Excellent video as always
Old school COOL classic
Great video but I’ll stick to the older companies.
I have been trying to fund a polo with alternate collar colar to pants. Do u knw whr I can find them?
I think any color polo with a logo that matches the color of your hair or eyes would work.

I just bought some polos last weekend 💪🏻
Talk about great timing.🤣
@@RealMenRealStyle absolutely! 💪🏻😂
Love the video but i think the background music should be toned down a little
Those are great shirts
Personally, I keep my collars down on shirts, but I'm cool with popping the collar on a light jacket. But not heavier ones like peacoats.
Popping COLLARS
Brazil here!
I like my polo collar down.

I have a feeling polos accentuate all your worst features when you're not a totally fit guy. Never found a polo that looked flattering on me.
Then get fit
For me, if i want to do that, just wear half zip turtle neck.
The Ivy Mod purists wear polo with two buttons only.
Timing is crazy. I just bought a new polo today because I haven't owned in a long time 😮😂
I just put one on this morning 😎😅

First comment ❤
Heck no on the popped collar.
Polo shirts? Now? Dude, summer's almost gone. It'll be FALL in a month.I
Climatologically, yes. But living in Texas, Fall doesn't realistically start until end of September at the earliest.
I live in hawaii, so Polo is always an option.
Your a roll looks like lots of noise / high iso.
Your polo shirt doesn't fit right,Antonio.
