subject: Dressing Warmly And Smartly This Winter [print this page] Most of us love polo neck shirts and with good reasons. They are comfortable, they are versatile and these are easy to wear in both summer and winter. Since the neck design is so snug, all you need is some thermal wear inside and a polo neck shirt is all you need to stay warm. To cover your arms, throw over a women jacket and you are good to go!
However, when it comes to polo neck shirts, they are not the first choice with most women. To begin with, India is primarily hot through the year and polo neck shirts can be a little stifling. The most commonly seen shirt is probably the white polo shirt because the colour keeps you cool while the style of shirt works well for those used to outdoor activities. It is easy to wear your white polo shirt in winters too and it can actually be more comfortable to create layers since many indoor malls, theatres and supermarkets are heated these days and you might need to take off your jacket once indoors.
For women, white polo shirts look smart with jeans and trousers. You can also choose a longer length polo neck shirt and pair it with tights and boots. White looks quite good with both blue and black denim and also a variety of casual pants, especially corduroys since they are preferred for cold winter months. The beauty of white polo shirts is that they can easily be paired with a variety of women jackets. Colours like black, red, purples, navy blue, grey and maroon all look quite good with white, just like shades of brown, fawn and beige do. In fact, if you dont want to wear women jacket over the polo neck, even V-necked sweaters will look quite good with your polo neck shirts for winters.
Some kind of winter wear is not ideal when sporting a white polo shirt. This will include any women jacket that has a hood and creates a bulge at the neckline. Since the shirt has a thick rounded collar to keep the neck and shoulders warm, the added bulk of the hood will create unattractive lines. And frankly, hoods are not even required with polo neck shirts. Since polo shirts have a bulky neck unlike regular round neck or V-neck t shirts or shirts, they dont let cold wind go in through the neckline to make you feel cold. If at all you need to cover your head to stay warm, add a smart beret style woollen cap or a knitted skull cap.
The right accessories will make an outfit of white polo shirt paired with a smart, well fitted women jacket look stunning. Add a long chain that falls to the middle of the bust-line for some bling effect. Also, wear comfortable shoes. It is best to wear front closed shoes for winters and while sneakers are a great choice, flat belly shoes and boots are other great options. Choose a women jacket that is well fitted and hits right below the trouser waist. You can wear your jacket open in the front of even closed, since the neckline of the white polo neck shirt will show anyways to create the perfect contrast.
