The polo dress was created based on the modeling of men's polo shirts, however, adapted to the female silhouette, with shorter and tighter sleeves. The first polo dresses began to be worn on the courts and sporting events by famous tennis players. They then took to the streets and became a trend. Today they can be found in both casual and sporty models as well as in more formal models.

How to wear the Polo Dress - Looks
Now let's get to the tips on how to wear the dress! It is so democratic and easy to wear that it is already a beloved piece of all ages, from kids to women. Here are some tips to get the right look:
- Beware of very transparent models (the mesh can sometimes be very thin and we don't even notice!) and short (the ideal limit is mid-thigh, so you have freedom of movement).
- on the feet it is worth wearing sneakers, espadrilles, tennis shoes, sandals, ankle boots ... the important thing is that the shoes do not clash with the style of the dress. Dresses with a more sporty or informal touch require sneakers or something lighter. Dresses in dark colors and thicker fabrics can be combined with boots.
- As for accessories, avoid elaborate necklaces or earrings. Polo dresses ask for simpler accessories. scarves and belts are a great idea to give a charm to the look. Just avoid belts that are too thick or too heavy. You can belt at the waist or hip. See the outfit suggestions below.
- You can combine polo type dresses with different types of bags: shoulder bag, backpack, jeans, handbag type.
