How to choose the perfect polo? And how to best preserve it?
The men's polo is a versatile garment that combines elegance and comfort. But how to choose the polo? Which fabric? How to wash the polo without damaging it? We answer these questions.
1. What are the different types of polos available?
There are various types of polos, including:
-
Polos with short and long sleeves: Ideal respectively for warm and cold seasons.
-
Polos with a pocket: They offer an aesthetic and functional detail.
-
Polos without a collar: A less common variant for a more casual look.
-
Polos with a raised collar: For those who prefer a distinctive style.
These variants allow you to choose the polo that best suits your needs and style.
2. How to choose the right size of a polo?
To find the correct size, it is essential to measure the chest circumference at the widest point, placing the tape measure under the arms and ensuring it fits snugly against the body. Then consult the size guide to find the exact match.
3. Which fabrics are preferable for a quality polo?
High-quality polos are often made of cotton, known for its softness and breathability. Some brands also offer variants in cotton piqué, which gives the fabric a distinctive texture. Lanaioli polos aim to stand out and are made of extrafine merino wool: a very lightweight fabric that prevents unpleasant odors when it's hot, does not irritate, regulates body temperature, and is breathable.
4. How to wash and maintain a polo over time?
To ensure the polo's durability, it is advisable to wash it at low temperatures, preferably at 30°C, to avoid shrinkage. Avoid using the dryer, which could damage the fibers, and iron at a moderate temperature to preserve the fabric. Store polos folded to maintain their original shape.
