The transition of the Polo Sport T-Shirt from an outfit for athletes into an everyday wardrobe essential for men and women across the globe can be attributed not just to the fashion brands but also to celebrities who sported the Classic Polo T-Shirt for men and turned it into an aspirational fashion statement! Lemonade has an exciting range of Polo T-Shirts for Men which you can explore
Read on to know more about which Celebrities have contributed to the success of the Polo T-Shirt!
John F Kennedy
President JFK is famous and infamous for many things. One of the things he’s famous for is championing the preppy, Ivy League style. Having studied at Harvard and enrolled at Princeton, he embodied that Ivy league look that was prevalent within upper middle class families in America at the time. Funnily enough, he changed the way American presidents dressed and was a leading advocate for chinos, khakis, sweatshirts, penny loafers and Oxford Shirts!
However, when we look back at some of his iconic moments where he played the role of a style icon with utmost success, it’s his Polo T-Shirt when he’s spending time with his family (on or off his boat) that stands out the most! JFK opted for neutral or nautical colours, keeping the palate soft and restrained. He also opted for loose cuts optimising for comfort! Check out Lemonade’s neutral Olive Green Polo T-Shirt men.
JFK’s leadership style and call to service, his good looks, his better looking wife and adorable children; combined with the seemingly effortless wealth that his family had made him an icon for all of America and the world who watched and emulated his every move; including his fashion choices with the Polo T-Shirt!
James Bond
While James Bond may be a fictional character and not a celebrity, few “people” have had more of an impact on men’s fashion. The ever so suave, sophisticated character of James Bond, played by superstars like Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and of course now, Daniel Craig, has been iconic and aspirational for men & women across the globe, whether they are a fan of the movie franchise or not.
Sean Connery first debuted the Polo T-Shirt as a part of James Bond’s wardrobe in Goldfinger. In his first look, he wore an Ivory Polo with Khakhi trousers which had women swooning and men running to the store to copy the look. Over time, the Polo has become a wardrobe staple for Bond too, with each actor bringing their own unique style and interpretation to the character and their use of the Polo T-Shirt. A summer favourite attire for Bond, British Brand Sunspel launched an entire range of Polo T-Shirt specifically for Daniel Craig to wear in his versions of the movie.

It’s interesting to note that the stylists for the Bond movies chose the Polo T-Shirt because they are famous for their practicality and comfort, especially under physically strenuous circumstances. They are meant to be breathable and soft, making it perfect for warmer weather. They are also versatile and smart casual, making Bond look sophisticated under all circumstances!
The Polo T-Shirt has been a staple of the James Bond style for over 50 years and continues to be relevant in the fashion world today.
David Becham
Another Englishman on the list, David Beckham is the king of smart casual! Not only is he one of the most influential footballers of all time, he is also a successful entrepreneur and is undoubtedly considered one of the most stylish men on earth!
Becks has often been spotted sporting the Polo T-Shirt when he’s travelling or grabbing a casual lunch with his friends or family.
