Polo shirt

Hi there! A polo shirt is a special kind of shirt that has a collar and a few buttons at the front. It is usually made of a breathable fabric like cotton or polyester, so it feels nice and cool even on a hot day.

The shirt is named after the sport of polo, which is played on horseback with special mallets and balls. In polo, players wear a similar type of shirt with a collar to keep their necks protected from the sun and to make it easy to move around on the horse.

But even if you don't play polo, a polo shirt is a great choice for lots of different activities! You can wear it to school or work, to play sports, or even to a nice dinner with your family. It looks a little bit fancier than a regular t-shirt, but it's still comfortable and easy to move in.

So if you want a shirt that's cool, comfortable, and versatile, try a polo shirt!
