Bamboo Polo – Smart and Breathable at the Same Time

Short answer: A bamboo polo hits the balance between the comfort of a t-shirt and the smart look of a shirt. The collar lifts the look, and the bamboo viscose makes sure you stay dry and fresh, even on hot days where an ordinary piqué polo would feel stiff and clammy.

The polo's place in your wardrobe

The polo is the answer when a t-shirt is too casual and a shirt too formal: client meetings in summer, restaurant visits and holidays. With a collar and buttons it looks pulled together, but it goes on just as easily as a t-shirt. See the selection of bamboo polos for men.

The difference between bamboo and classic piqué

Classic polos in cotton piqué are hard-wearing, but often stiff and warm. Bamboo viscose is softer, drapes more smoothly and moves sweat away from the skin, so the polo feels cool and fresh all day. Read why the material handles heat so well in bamboo and temperature regulation.

How to wear the polo

The polo looks best when it follows your body without pulling across the chest, and the length should work worn outside your trousers. Combine it with chinos or smart shorts in summer and a blazer when things need to be more formal. Switch to a bamboo T-shirt on the completely relaxed days, and find the rest of the wardrobe under bamboo clothing for men.
