Polo Work Shirts: Trademark of Working Classes
In any country, men and women working in fast food chains are considered working class hero of recent times. They stand for long hours at work serving customers and following strict rules and regulations in the fast food. They usually wear slacks and polo work shirts. Factory workers or those workers who are working in assembly lines are not in uniforms anymore. Sometimes they are just required to wear something on top of their polo work shirts especially if their work is very sensitive.
Though polos are created for golf players, they are now being worn by many workers or those who are classified under the working class. It seems very ironic. Golf is usually the past time of rich people. And since polo work shirts are designed for these rich people who are playing golf, it is expected that this clothing will dominate the fashion sense of upper class society. But it seems that the reverse happened. Now, people are thinking that polos are designed for working people. Though some popular and expensive brands of clothing are still making polo work shirts, this kind of clothing is still dominating department stores and malls where people could buy cheap clothing.
In some countries, whenever someone will see a man wearing polo work shirt, rushing in the morning to get a ride, it is clear that this man is rushing for him not to be late for work. Some companies even printed the name of their company on the side, back of bottom of the polo work shirts. The purpose of this is that they want this polo work shirt to look like uniform. Some companies do not demand printed names of their companies on polo work shirts but they demand same color for employees. Some companies even have varying colors. For example, for those employees assigned in the packaging department, they have to wear yellow polo work shirts. But for those employees who are assigned in the accounting department, they have to wear red polos.
Some labor organizations put in their organization's logo in these shirts. They portray a caricature of a man or a laborer wearing polos. This shows that indeed many have already recognized the emergence of polo work shirts for blue-collar jobs.
Polo work shirts are definitely the perfect example of clothing that has passed through time. Now, it has been developed into different styles and even those people who are wearing or patronizing it changed as time goes by.
Even women have their version of polos. Some polo work shirts are designed for women. Just like the shirts that were designed especially for rich men who like to play golf, the first designs and brands for women polo work shirts cater to rich women who are looking for a kind of clothing that they can wear on simple occasions like when they go to groceries or when they go shopping. These work shirts for women are shorter and they have different colors. The colors are also usually those that are being patronized by women.
