Women's polo and rugby shirts

Pre-owned women's polo shirts in cotton, in short and long sleeve.

Polo shirts

A polo shirt has a soft collar, a short button placket and ribbed cuffs, and it is usually made from cotton piqué, a knit with a fine, textured surface that lets air through. Some polos have a tipped collar and cuffs, with a contrasting stripe along the edge, and others are striped across the body. The long sleeve polo keeps the collar and placket and adds full-length sleeves with ribbed cuffs.

Size and measurements

A women's polo is usually cut closer to the body than a men's or unisex polo with the same size letter. The guide to measuring pit to pit explains how to compare those numbers with a polo shirt from the wardrobe.
