Understanding Our Polo Fits
We understand that the mission is more than just dress code; it’s about helping your child feel their best. In this guide, we're sharing everything you need to know about choosing the perfect school uniform polo, so they shine from homeroom to the playground all year long.
Classic Fit
A timeless co-ed fit that's straight from chest to the hem, it's ideal for both boys and girls who prefer a roomy fit with a slightly longer short sleeve length that's looser around the cuff.
Short Sleeve Pique Polo
Tailored Fit (Feminine Fit)
For kids and teens who like a more fitted look, a tailored fit is your go-to. These polos are gently tapered at the waist with a shorter hem that falls right at the hip. This fit offers a more defined shape without compromising on comfort. The sleeve length on short sleeve styles is longer than a traditional cap sleeve with a just-right feel around the cuff (not too snug, not too loose).
Short Sleeve Fitted Stretch Pique Polo
Slim Fit
The slim fit is a modern take on the classic polo, with a slimmer, straight fit from chest to hem and a slightly more fitted sleeve (but still lots of room). This fit option caters to those who like a sleek appearance. Our Performance Polo is a slim fit and a great co-ed option for both boys and girls.
Performance Polo
Seated Fit
Our seated interlock polo is designed to create a better fit for kids who use wheelchairs. This co-ed adaptive polo is shorter in overall length with a slight A-line shape and a slightly longer back length. Check out our entire adaptive clothing collection for more options.

How Many Polos to Stock Up On?
Okay, so you've got the fit down, picked out the best material, and even chosen colors that'll make your kid feel like a million bucks — but how many polos should you actually buy for the school year?
Here’s the scoop: while there's no one-size-fits-all answer, a good rule of thumb is having at least five polos in the rotation. This means you’ve got one for each school day, allowing you to breathe easy between laundry days. Plus, having a few extras on hand means you’re prepared for the unexpected.
And, hey, if your kiddo has a favorite color or fit, maybe snag an extra one or two of those. After all, it’s all about keeping mornings fuss-free and your child feeling great all day.
