Men's golf polo shirts

You've probably already experienced that moment when your polo shirt pulls on your shoulders during a swing, or when the fabric sticks uncomfortably to your skin. The golf polo shirt isn't just a piece of men's clothing. This golf garment is your ally on 18 holes, the one that should free your movements during your swing without ever betraying you.

At SERGE BLANCO, we pay attention to golfers' expectations: breathable comfort on the fairway, a fit that hugs your stance without restricting, and that timeless look that takes you from the driving range to after the round. Our men's designs deliver on this triple promise in a range designed in France, where every detail counts. From S to 6XL, each size is calibrated to offer that optimal range that makes all the difference on the tee box.

Pique knit, technical textiles, or high-end cotton: the collection offers materials selected for their resistance to perspiration and their impeccable hold, even on the most demanding doglegs. The colors? From classic navy blue to deep black, including white, each model fits naturally into your golf wardrobe. Short sleeves for summer, neat finishes with a discreet tricolor stripe, these creations never sacrifice elegance for performance.

Why is the polo shirt still the essential piece for male golfers?

Technical performance and range of motion

A good golf polo shirt is judged first and foremost by its ability to be comfortable during a swing. It's a cut that frees up movement, especially on the backswing, that critical moment when the slightest tension in the fabric can disrupt your swing. SERGE BLANCO polo shirts incorporate an armhole construction designed for men: the sleeve attachment angle follows the natural trajectory of the raised arm, eliminating this sticking point so common on poorly designed creations.

Pique knit, for example, offers controlled elasticity thanks to its raised weave. Unlike plain fabrics, this texture maintains its shape without stretching, even after hours in the sun. Some golfers prefer this slightly structured construction, which guarantees impeccable fit from the first tee to the putting green. Weights start at 190 g/m². Jersey polo shirts offer an attractive alternative with their more fluid knit and silky feel.

On the course, every technical detail counts for performance. The 2 cm side slits at the bottom of the garment aren't decorative: they allow the polo shirt to move with your torso during rotation, without riding up or creating unsightly creases. This design naturally follows your stance, without tension or discomfort, so you can fully concentrate on making your shots. The addition of stretch in certain compositions amplifies this essential freedom of movement.

The men's polo shirt: ideal from practice to competition

The modern golf polo shirt is perfect for all your golf sessions. From practice at the driving range to an official competition, whether you're a beginner or an experienced golfer, it's important to have this garment on hand. In a well-designed wardrobe, you'll find several polo shirts suited to different conditions: more airy knit creations for scorching July afternoons, others slightly thicker for cool May mornings.

The polo shirt isn't just for the golf course. A navy blue button-down polo shirt is a natural fit for the clubhouse after a round, without the "overly sporty" feel of some golf clothing. The fitted yet comfortable men's cut allows it to be tucked into chinos without adding bulk.

We often see regular golfers owning five to eight pieces that they rotate, preserving the longevity of each one. This rotation prevents premature wear and maintains color intensity, especially on deep shades like navy blue or black that can fade with frequent washing.

Materials That Make the Difference in Performance

Let's talk fabric. 100% structured knit cotton remains a classic for its natural breathability and pleasant feel. Cotton fibers effectively absorb moisture, but be careful: the quality of the cotton makes all the difference. Combed, long-staple cotton is more resistant to pilling and maintains its smooth appearance season after season. The reactive dyes used on these fine materials guarantee lasting color depth, even after 50 washes.

Some polo shirts incorporate technical blends with a percentage of elastane (2 to 5%), providing that stretch that follows every movement. These compositions are ideal for golfers looking for maximum comfort on the putting green and tee box, without compromising the elegant look of the knit. Technical jersey appeals to those who prefer a second-skin feel with its ultra-soft knitted fabric.

The collar construction also deserves your attention. A ribbed collar with an interior neckband maintains its shape after dozens of machine washes. Poorly designed collars sag or buckle: an immediate sign of poor quality. On SERGE BLANCO polo shirts, the 6 cm tricolor band under the collar adds a discreet reinforcement that structures the whole while asserting the brand's identity.

Piqué polo shirts also offer the advantage of increased stretch resistance. This special weave, recognizable by its honeycomb texture, ensures that the garment retains its shape even after hours of intense play. For purists, piqué remains the gold standard for authentic golf polo shirts.

Choosing Your Men's Golf Polo Shirt According to Your Needs

Short Sleeves: Optimal Comfort for Men on the Summer Field

The short-sleeved polo shirt dominates men's golf wardrobes, and for good reason: it offers the full range of motion essential for a smooth swing. Sleeve length is crucial for the active man. Too short, it looks cramped and limits airflow under the arm. Too long, and it creates friction during the action. SERGE BLANCO cuts position the sleeve mid-bicep, the ideal area that enhances the masculine silhouette without hindering movement.

Summer on the course requires thoughtful decisions. A white polo shirt reflects heat and remains the preferred option for golfers who log hours in the blazing sun. Pristine white also offers that impeccable look that meets the dress codes of the most demanding clubs. But beware of transparency: too light a knit will reveal the undershirt, compromising the desired elegance.

Bold colors—orange, red, green—appear regularly on the greens, but classic hues retain their male following. In a summer wardrobe, black adds an unexpected touch of sophistication. Contrary to popular belief, a quality black polo shirt made of airy knit won't overheat any more than a light-colored one. The key lies in the fabric's breathability and ability to wick away moisture, not its color.

Plain polo shirts are the essential staple of any golf wardrobe. With no patterns or stripes, they're easy to pair and transcend trends without ever looking outdated. The sleek style of the SERGE BLANCO plain polo shirt appeals to players looking for understated yet effective elegance.

Colors and Finishes: Create Your Men's Golf Wardrobe

Navy blue reigns supreme on French golf courses. This shade offers a decisive advantage for the male golfer: it hides small stains while maintaining a neat appearance even after several hours of play. Navy pairs easily with beige, gray, or white pants, forming timeless combinations that work season after season. A plain navy polo shirt with a discreet tricolor badge becomes that reliable piece you'll spontaneously grab on the morning of a competition.

The finishing touches distinguish these exceptional creations. The visible two- or three-button placket allows you to adjust the opening according to the temperature and your personal preference. Some golfers systematically leave the first button open for a casual look, while others prefer to close it all the way to the top during official tournaments. This modularity transforms the same model depending on the occasion.

The chest pocket divides opinions. Purists find it superfluous on sportswear, while others appreciate its practical storage for a tee or ball marker. At SERGE BLANCO, the collections favor clean lines with a badge rather than a pocket, preserving the fluid silhouette that suits modern golf. Sweaters and other additional layers judiciously complete the men's wardrobe for the transitional seasons.

Golf clothing style is constantly evolving, but some fundamentals remain. Plain polo shirts in muted shades account for 70% of sales, proving that classic elegance trumps fleeting fancies. Choosing a polo shirt is therefore not a matter of chance: consider how often you play, your favorite colors, and the requirements of your club.

Details That Matter to the Golfing Man: Collar, Cut and Badge

A well-constructed collar literally transforms a polo shirt. The button-down collar, a legacy of British dress codes, provides structure and support even during sweeping movements. The two small buttons keep the collar points flat, preventing that unsightly "gull-wing" look when the fabric lifts. This finish is ideal for body shapes with long necks, visually balancing the overall look.

The overall fit evolves with trends, but certain principles remain. A cut that's too fitted limits the rotation of the bust, while a cut that's too loose gives a sloppy look. The ideal lies somewhere in between: fitted without compression, following the line of the body without molding it. SERGE BLANCO's sizes from S to 6XL allow every male body shape to find its optimal fit. A man of XXL stature deserves the same care in tailoring as a size M: proportionate armholes, adapted back length, correctly sized shoulder width.

The badge on the heart side of the chest signifies belonging to a universe. This 15 mm tricolor badge remains discreet but identifiable, affirming an origin and values ​​without falling into the category of an XXL logo. In the sporty chic universe cultivated by SERGE BLANCO, these subtle markers count more than flashy inscriptions.

The addition of stretch to the composition allows the polo shirts to perfectly follow your movements without ever restricting. This bidirectional elasticity is particularly noticeable on full swings where the amplitude exceeds 180 degrees. Polo shirts with stretch offer that extra comfort that makes all the difference on an 18-hole course.

Build your Golf Polo Collection

Choosing the right polo shirts will determine your seasonal comfort. We recommend starting with three to four basic pieces: a solid navy polo shirt, a white one, a black one, and possibly a heather gray one. This neutral foundation then allows you to add bolder shades as desired. Solid polo shirts remain the essential foundation of a cohesive wardrobe.

For regular players who play two or three games a week, owning seven to eight polo shirts becomes essential. This rotation preserves each piece and prevents washing them too frequently, which damages the fibers. Prioritize quality over quantity: three high-quality SERGE BLANCO polo shirts will last longer than ten low-end models.

Style is also built through successive touches. A discreet striped polo shirt, a sober two-tone model, an unexpected shade like burgundy or forest green gradually enrich your wardrobe. But these additions only work if you already have the essential neutral foundations.

SERGE BLANCO Expertise at the Service of Men's Golfers

A Design Conceived in France for Men's Performance on the Field

SERGE BLANCO polo shirts are born from a French reflection on masculine aesthetics and functionality. This approach is reflected in the cuts, which are more structured than the often loose-fitting Anglo-Saxon models, while retaining the ease necessary for sport. The design studios observe international trends but filter every detail through a European sensibility: clean lines, controlled colors, precise finishes.

The brand's rugby heritage shines through in this demand for robustness. A polo shirt must withstand dozens of washes without losing its shape or color. Stress points—armholes, shoulders, and cuffs—receive invisible reinforcements that extend their lifespan. This thoughtful construction explains why some golfers wear their SERGE BLANCO polo shirt season after season.

The color selection also reflects this French vision of the menswear wardrobe. No garish hues or excessive patterns, but a palette rich in subtle nuances. A navy blue that leans slightly toward petroleum, a deep black without grayish reflections, a bright white that doesn't turn yellowish after a few months. These chromatic details seem insignificant but make all the difference in a wardrobe built to last.

Plain polo shirts represent the heart of the collection, available in fifteen carefully selected colors. This minimalist approach focuses on the essentials: a perfect fit, impeccable knit, and invisible yet decisive finishes.

From Size S to 6XL: A Cut for Every Man's Body Shape

The range of sizes offered isn't just a sales pitch. It reflects a conviction: every golfer deserves a polo shirt that truly fits them. A man in size S will find proportions designed for his build, with consistent sleeve and body lengths, without the "shrink in the wash" aspect of poorly graded models. Conversely, a male customer in 5XL or 6XL benefits from a specifically developed cut, not a simple mathematical enlargement of an M pattern.

This rigorous gradation also applies to the range of motion. Large sizes incorporate additional ease in strategic areas—back, armholes—to ensure total ease on the backswing. A golfer of imposing stature should never feel the fabric pull during their swing. The side slits are proportionally enlarged to maintain their effectiveness regardless of size. Total freedom in all your movements remains the primary objective of each pattern.

Online shopping makes accessing this variety of men's sizes much easier. Detailed guides with precise measurements—chest circumference, back length, shoulder width—allow you to order with confidence. Fast delivery eliminates that frustrating wait when you need a polo shirt for next weekend's tournament. Selection is easy, with the ability to compare multiple colors from the comfort of your couch.

Maintenance and Durability: A Lasting Investment for the Active Man

A quality polo shirt requires a few simple steps to last through the seasons. The first rule: always wash inside out to preserve color intensity and protect badges or prints. A temperature of 30°C is more than enough to remove perspiration and dirt from the field. Anything higher than this can weaken the elastic fibers and set protein stains rather than remove them.

Machine drying is still not recommended, despite the temptation to save time. Excessive heat distorts the collar and stiffens the structured knit, causing it to lose its pleasant feel. Drying flat or on a hanger in a ventilated area preserves the original shape. For white polo shirts exposed to direct sunlight during drying, beware of gradual yellowing: a shaded area is best.

Ironing requires discernment. The pique texture can withstand a medium iron (setting 2 on most irons), always with a cloth in between to protect the badged areas. Jersey fabrics should be ironed at a lower temperature. Some experienced golfers never iron their polo shirts: promptly removed from the machine and hung properly, they dry virtually wrinkle-free, especially knits, which have a natural shape memory.

One last piece of advice observed among regular players: avoid overstocking golf bags. A polo shirt folded for weeks in a hot, humid locker develops persistent odors. Take your clothes inside after each round, air them out, and wash them. This simple discipline will double or triple the longevity of your favorite products. Designed to perform well even on the most demanding doglegs, a SERGE BLANCO polo shirt rewards this attentive care with years of impeccable service.

Ultra-durable cotton polo shirts withstand repeated washing better than lower-quality synthetic blends. This superior durability fully justifies the initial investment in premium pieces that will last for several seasons without weakening.

The Importance of Clothing for Your Game

Choosing a polo shirt isn't just a matter of aesthetics. It directly impacts your performance on the field. An ill-fitting garment creates friction, distracts your concentration, and limits your range of motion. Conversely, the right polo shirt literally disappears during your game: you forget about it completely, completely focused on your game.

This technical dimension explains why professionals pay so much attention to their outfits. Every detail counts when the goal is optimal performance. For the demanding amateur, adopting this same rigor in choosing their polo shirts truly transforms the playing experience. The freedom to move without restraint, the freshness maintained for four hours, the confidence that comes from an impeccable outfit: all these elements contribute to your enjoyment and your results.
