A well fitting polo shirt is a staple of a man's summer wardrobe. It creates a casual look and forgoes the slobbish connotations of a t-shirt. Although a great number of companies release this garment each year, without a doubt the Ralph Lauren Polo is the definitive classic. The Ralph Lauren Polo evokes ivy-league thoughts whether it is worn in Bolton or Bahrain.
Me watching Ralph Lauren produce this garment is like a Christian watching Jesus garrote a kitten. I am devastated. Never before have I seen a garment designed so obviously to apply to the nouveau-riche idiots who wish to display to the world their bank balances. Now, if a Ralph Lauren polo-shirt was prohibitively expensive; like Alexander McQueen or even Ralph Lauren Black Label, I would understand peoples desire to tell the world the value of the shirt, but these shirts are moderately priced. This means that all you are saying to the world by wearing this shirt is:
"I can afford a moderately priced polo shirt, and I am obnoxious enough that a regular sized logo is too small."
Or alternatively:
"I can afford a moderately priced polo shirt, and would like the visually impared to know, too, for although I am a dolt, I am an equal opportunities dolt."
Not really an impressive statement. Well maybe the second one is, but as far as I am aware, it is the rarer case.
Oh christ. It looks like it could have been bought at Hollister.
ReplyDeletekash, man
ReplyDeletei see your point.
but this is getting silly.
there are bigger things to bitch about than fashion.
If it HAS to be fashion, please make it comical.
I was the loving the blog, you know I was, but this is too mollie dude.
I understand that this makes no difference to you,
but,
me and my £8 jeans and stolen mens shirt are happy to be left to our devices, I cannot delve into a fashion blog with a straight face when you have one too.

I lol'd. I am planning on buying one of these myself, the former reason being my motivation. I enjoy the look of respect my polo inspires in casual passers by, as does everyone who wears the large horseman on their breast with pride. ignore the dolt above me, he does not appreciate your humour
ReplyDelete...edward?
ReplyDeleteand I do appreciate Kash's humour!
ReplyDeleteI love Kash's Humour
Kash often makes me practically well up with his masterful use of wit,
I just find it bizarre to see it directed in such a deadpan fashion at.. well.. POLO SHIRTS.
