Polo shirts for professionalism?

Not a polo
not a T-Shirt



The Safari Suit

Some good posts here.

Who said a uniform can only consist of one type of shirt?
As some have suggested, a uniform can consist of one type of shirt for field work, and one for office wear.
I don't see why this can't be followed through to different types of shirts being used by different people as per personal preference; you might have one guy in a normal polo, one guy in a 'Steve Irwin' shirt. as long as the colours follow a theme and the logos are there, it shouldn't really make any problems as far as professional perception goes.

And, we're not fencing installers, we do something different, and awesome.
It's related to colorbond fencing, but different to anything on the market, which goes towards my thinking of trying to look different than just wearing the average polo shirt.

I've been looking at alternatives and I reckon these shirts look the biz - polo shirts with a mandarin/banded collar:

Wrong place to ask oceanfire.
There's too many old people here entrenched in the social conditioning that makes them think polo collars, and the other lame safari collars etc that have been posted, are awesome, and if you don't wear an old boy collar, you're nothing but unprofessional.

In my little business,we have 1 regular customer where its high vis,full stop.
we Take a good clean T shirt which we change into as soon as we get offsite.
We need cool loose simple clothing to work in. I have tried the "Irwin style" shirts but you just sweat all day..
I buy $5 blue plain tshirts from Kmart in bundles of 5 as that's all the room in the clothing draw.. looks respectable.
As soon as they look grotty ,holey,or stretched they go into the rag bag for servicing tools
OUr trousers are long heavy duty which only last a few months. If your wearing shorts in our job your not trying hard enough for me.
