Kids Polo Shirts

Having a selection of kids' polo shirts in a child's wardrobe makes it easy to grab a casual top whenever the need arises.

The beauty of polo shirts is that they're casual, but still dressier than tee shirts. Polos coordinate well with pants, jeans, khakis, skirts, shorts and overalls of all types. You'll find these tops in short and long sleeve varieties, making them perfect for year-round wear. Polo shirts come in a wide range of price points, from inexpensive designs to designer labels that cost quite a bit more.

Kids' polo shirts are available in just about any color you commonly find in shirts, as well as striped and patterned styles. They work for boys as well as they do for girls of all ages.

You don't have to shop in children's boutiques to find polo tops. These widely available garments are sold in:

• Discount stores
• Popular kids' clothing chains such as Gap, Abercrombie Kids, Kids R Us and more
• High-end shops
• Mall stores

Your biggest decision when it comes to choosing polo shirts for kids may be color. If you find a sale going on, select several different shades in a child's favorite colors. White, cream, blue and black are basics which work for anyone, but don't forget about vibrant tones like red, yellow and plenty of stripes.

Parents will find polo shirts for around $10.00 and up. Designer brands, such as Ralph Lauren, may cost as much as $50.00 per shirt. Consider whether this is a short-term investment or if the top will be passed down to younger siblings and relatives. If you plan to keep these shirts for other children to wear, it's worth spending the extra money as higher-end brands contain quality details, such as better construction and fabrics, that make clothes last longer.

Polo tops are associated with preppy wear, but even kids who don't consider themselves preppies can enjoy slipping into one of these versatile shirts.

Boys can coordinate their polo shirts in several ways:

• With jeans and jean shorts: This is an easy look that any boy can pull off. Simply choose a polo top in the color you want and add a pair of jeans or jean shorts.

• Khakis: Wearing a polo top with a pair of khaki pants or shorts gives a boy a clean-cut, sophisticated look. This is a good dressy casual look for spring and summer weddings or religious services.

• With Madras print: Select a polo shirt in a solid color that matches a color in a pair of bright Madras print shorts or pants and any boy will look like a little gentleman.

Girls have the option of wearing their polo shirts with skirts or slacks.

• Skirts: Whether a girl wears a plaid skirt, denim skirt or plain khaki skirt, polo tops work well with all of these looks. Add a matching cardigan and Mary Janes and this look is first-day-of-school ready.

• Jeans: Just like boys, girls can easily slip into a polo shirt in their favorite color and add a pair of jeans for a casual, simple style.

Polo shirts lend themselves easily to year-round use. Wear short-sleeved tops in the spring and summer, and save long-sleeved varieties for fall and winter. These shirts layer well for cold weather; add a pullover sweater or cardigan to a long-sleeved polo shirt for added warmth.

Whether a girl or boy wears their polo top with shorts, pants or skirts, they can be casual or dressy casual and comfortable at the same time.
