Which pants to wear under the polo?
The polo is a very versatile knitwear garment, but its elegance or informality depends greatly on what we wear on the lower part of the outfit. The choice of pants is fundamental to best enhance the polo. In this article, we discover which pants to pair with a polo for a polished look suitable for every occasion.
Tailored pants under the polo
Tailored pants are the perfect choice to make the polo a city, office, or semi-formal event garment.
-
Recommended fabrics: light wool, combed cotton, linen.
-
Neutral colors: gray, blue, sand, or black easily match solid color polos.
-
How to wear them: tucking the polo into the pants, with a thin leather belt and elegant shoes (loafers or derbies).
Wearing chino pants under the polo
Chinos are ideal with polos for casual looks, for work in informal environments, or for a weekend brunch.
-
Soft or pastel tones in spring (beige, sage, powder blue), deep colors in autumn (burgundy, navy, olive).
-
Perfect with: piqué cotton polos or merino wool, leather shoes or minimal sneakers.
-
For an extra touch: slightly roll up the hem and add a classic watch.
Polos are perfect worn over jeans
With the right polo, even denim can become refined.
-
Dark slim fit jeans: ideal with merino wool or silk polos.
-
Light or faded jeans: great for summer and more relaxed looks, to be paired with cotton polos.
-
Tip: avoid tears, extreme washes, or overly sporty cuts to maintain everyday elegance.
Cargo trousers or technical fabric trousers
They are not the first choice for an elegant combination, but with a technical or jersey polo, they can work for a sport-luxury aesthetic.
-
Pair them with lightweight sneakers or urban sandals.
-
Choose slim and monochromatic models to avoid an overly casual effect.
Knit trousers or refined joggers
Some models in wool, cashmere, or refined sweatshirt fabric pair well with polos in noble yarns. Perfect for the weekend, travel, or home office.
-
Wool or silk blend polo + tone-on-tone knit trousers = soft and sophisticated look.
-
To be completed with leather sneakers or elegant espadrilles.
For her: feminine skirts and trousers under polos
Even though the focus is on trousers, one cannot fail to mention:
-
Flared or pencil midi skirts: for an elegant and contemporary look.

Palazzo trousers: with slim or tucked-in polo to balance volumes.
The most successful combinations
