Collection: Polo and Short Sleeve Work Shirts

Polo Shirts and Short Sleeves: Built for Work and Versatility

When picking out a work shirt for the summer, a polo shirt or button-down short sleeve shirt is an easy choice. This style of shirt keeps you cool and comfortable, indoors in a warehouse or outdoors on-site.

We've got a wide selection of options for you in our collection, from trusted workwear brands like TuffStuff and Caterpillar. Choose from a range of colours to match the rest of your gear - we've got neutral tones like black, grey, and navy for your polo shirts, or checked shirts for your short sleeves. 

Choosing the Right Shirt for Your Workwear Wardrobe

People love polo shirts for their work clothing or business uniforms because they offer a classic, easygoing style that works well on their own or layered under a jumper. Meanwhile, a short sleeve shirt provides a bit more structure, giving you the flexibility to dress it up or down depending on the day.

The great thing about our range is you've got plenty of choice between materials and designs.

If you're planning to wear your shirt for outdoor work in the heat, you'll want something with breathable fabric to help you regulate your body temperature. And if you’re constantly moving, lifting, or stretching, a durable fabric with a bit of elastane mixed in will give you that added flexibility you need to stay comfortable all day.

The cut and style also matter. A looser, relaxed fit offers more ease of movement, perfect for physically demanding tasks and casual wear. For those who need a more professional look, perhaps for meetings or customer-facing roles, a closer, tailored fit provides a sharp, neat appearance. 

How to Style Your Short Sleeve Shirts for Work

In milder temperatures, try pairing your polo with a jumper and softshell jacket. This get-up is ideal for outdoor work and provides just the right amount of coverage without feeling too heavy. When it gets warmer, drop the layers and just wear the polo shirt on its own. 

With a checked shirt, you can wear it open over a t-shirt or buttoned up if you need a slightly more professional appearance for the day. This style of shirt is great for wearing under a gilet or bodywarmer too, as this will give you extra warmth if needed, without impacting on the smart look. 

Match with your work shorts in the heat of summer, or they also pair easily with all types of work trousers, from your joggers to your cargo trousers.

Practical Care Tips for Long-Lasting Work Shirts

All the workwear shirts in our collection are made with high-quality materials, so they are designed for long-lasting wear, but they still need proper care to make them go the distance.

Always follow the washing instructions on the label - most work shirts do best with a cool wash to preserve the fabric. When it comes to folding, lay the shirt flat, smooth out the fabric, and fold it neatly to avoid creases that can wear out the material over time. Storing your shirts in a cool, dry place also helps prevent any damage or fading.

And in terms of rotation, having at least five work shirts on hand means you’ll always have a clean one ready for the next shift, helping you avoid over-washing and extending the life of each shirt.
