I feel so superficial caring about this but I think what's going on is that (a) my dad always wore REAL shirts, plaid flannel or chambray for work (farming) and nice button-downs for BBQ's and church, and nary a short-sleeve shirt among 'em, and (b) my mother instilled in us kids that neither man nor woman should ever be seen in a polo shirt (though my brother, the corporate kingpin, now wears them all the time). To me they seem somehow too wimpy for guys and too desexed-soccer- mom for women. We have to fight the inclination to wear things because they're easy-care. Give me a crisp white button-down shirt on a man and I will throw caution to the wind and my legs in the air.

I especially hate ones with stripes. My job used to make me wear a collared shirt, which was annoying since I was in school, so I had to wear it to school, so everyone made fun of me :( when I was even younger, my dad wore a polo to work every day, and was always obsessive of what I was wearing. He'd always force me to go shopping for them till I had 20 different striped polos. Then I'd try to wear a t to school, but then "Jason, start dressing like a man!" then he'd go in my room and make it worse, he'd make me wear khakis with it too, belt, tuck it in also! I'm sorta rambling in by now, but I remember my dad got pissed at me for not dressing right, and eventually I had to wear it ALL DAY, even when I was at home. So, now you know why I hate polos, and to this day when I see my dad for the weekend (in college now) he still makes me wear a polo (striped unfortunately) and slacks. So, I hear ya man!

An extra factor consequently consistently bothered me personally with regards to these opinions and findings is that they often invoke rather extreme circumstances remote from everyday experience.

If you have the bodyshape for them (i.e. tapered from shoulder to waist -- no beer belly) they'll eliminate the ballooning around your belt you're getting with standard fit shirts, and you'll look pretty slick too.
