Is a tie appropriate with a polo shirt?
Just like the title says. I was putting on my navy blue polo with my Black Stewart, getting ready to go to my in-law's house for dinner, when the question popped into my head. It came up because the polo has a collar. So- thoughts?
Happy Thanksgiving, all!

Seriously?!?!?
my answer would be NO!!. Polo shirts are made of stretchier, more breathable material for casual comfort. It's a whole different level of comfort and formality. If one of my co-workers came into a meeting with a polo shirt and a tie on I would likely beat him with a file folder until the tie was removed. This also applies to golf shirts and rugby shirts, sweat pants with dress shoes, white sport socks with dress shoes, socks with sandals, and people still wearing ripped concert shirts and jeans in the 30's+.
Ties are for dress shirts and usually indicate some form of formality (usually business formal).
Polo and golf shirts are most recently used for casual Fridays or business casual (it's a step up for a t shirt).

I would have to vote no as well, unless you are trying to make a fashion statement, i which case I would leave the tie loose around the neck. Perhaps it could be gotten away with if you have a nice stiff collar and are wearing a waistcoat and jacket to hide the polo. My da sgillinean worth.
