A polo work shirt is from one of those families of shirts that are not exactly in which one could call them formal while, they are not in a category in which they could be referred to as informal at the same time. Work shirts have been around for sometime and made a name for themselves because of their appeal to fit in multiple categories at the same time yet remain highly comfortable and give the person the feeling of ease rather than being uptight. The polo just adds a bit of comfort to the traditional, stuffy dress shirt.
The polo work shirt has a long history and one would be surprised that this "polo shirt" does not necessarily have something to do with polo itself as the name suggests. The alternative name for a polo shirt was a tennis shirt as well sometime back. The work shirt is slightly different from its sports counter part as for a long time, polo shirts were mainly used in sports namely, tennis, polo and even golf but due to their popularity and the easy going design it was also adopted in the work arena because of many of its benefits with an easy feel and look.
The polo work shirt can be said to be in the semi formal category as one might not find executives wearing them on a non-casual day at the office but people who do not have to maintain a strict professional tailored and pressed image generally use this shirt. The comfort and the variety of looks that a polo work shirt can give you make them very appealing to a large percentage of the workforce. The business casual atmosphere in most offices makes this the perfect shirt to wear.
One would usually come across the polo shirt in sports but non formal office environments opt for a polo work shirt due to many positive factors and they cannot be exactly described as you have to wear one to know what is so appealing about a shirt. If your office or your work environment allows you to wear these you probably will. There are always places where you could were a shirt even if it is not permitted at one specific place.
The layout of a polo shirt and a polo work shirt is generally the same, it is T shaped with either a zip on the neck or there are buttons, there is a loose fitting collar accompanying the buttons or zip. A polo shirt will never have buttons throughout from the neck to the bottom and it could be considered as a t-shirt with a collar and a few buttons on the neck or a zip. Most of the shirts in the US have only three buttons and the first and sometimes the second one is left open. It is never worn with a tie and it can be worn equally with dress slacks or with jeans. The shirt versatility allows for it to be matched with many different outfits.
