Is the Polo Shirt the Ultimate Game Day Garment?

It's official, the FIFA 2022 World Cup has begun, and in just a few hours time, our England boys will start their tournament run against Iran at 1pm. Now, as we're all aware, a dreary Monday during work hours isn't exactly the best time to kick off the team's World Cup run, but with football on the mind, we thought we would examine arguably one of the best game-day pieces of clobber ever to do it.

From north to south, east to west, the humble polo shirt has graced the terraces, pubs and beer gardens of the nation, bringing a distinctive and almost uniform-like approach to every footie fan's wardrobe. Often basic in its form, the polo shirt has become almost synonymous with the sport, propping up everyone from your average bloke to your fashion-conscious fella.

Now while I guess we can all appreciate game day fits don't get better than wearing your team's home or away kit, the polo offers a smart-casual alternative, ideal for wearing to post-match celebrations, out for a bit of grub or even out on the lash. So with World Cup season in full swing, don't sweat when it comes to styling, and head over to MR PORTER's website for some of the best polos available on the web.
