Black polo size guide: getting the shoulder and sleeve fit right

A polo has less room for error than a t-shirt — too tight and the placket pulls open, too loose and it just looks like an oversized t-shirt with a collar. Here's how to land it right.

Check the shoulder seam first

Same rule as any structured top: the seam should sit at the edge of your shoulder, not drooping down your arm. On a polo this matters even more, because a dropped shoulder seam also drags the sleeve hem too low.

The placket is the real fit test

Do the two buttons at the neck sit flat, or is there visible pull between them? That gap is the clearest sign a size is too small, more reliable than checking the chest or waist alone.

Sizing S to 2XL

• True to size across the range — order what you'd normally wear.
• Broader chest or shoulders: size up once for a cleaner line at the placket.
• Prefer a slightly looser, more relaxed polo: also size up — it's still cut as a regular fit, not oversized, even one size up.

Sleeve length matters more than people check

Half sleeves should sit roughly mid-bicep. Higher than that and it reads too tight through the arm; lower and it starts looking like a longer-sleeved shirt cut short by accident.
