Looking for polo shirts that fit well on shorter men? Here’s a list of places that sell shorter length polos.

Shorter men often have a hard time finding clothes that fit. From jeans and chinos to suits and outerwear, most off the rack clothing is just too long.

When your clothes don’t fit, it doesn’t matter where you bought them, how expensive they were, how nicely they were made, or even what color they are.

They’re not going to look good, and they’re going to make you look bad.

Since most polo shirts don’t have long sleeves, we (thankfully) don’t have to deal with the annoying problem of sleeves being too long.

But we do have to think about the length of the actual shirt, from the collar down to the bottom hem.

Most polos were not made to look great on men under 5’9?, which means they’ll go way past your waistline, down to the bottom of your fly (or farther).

This throws off your proportions and makes you look shorter than you actually are. Not a great look!

Luckily, there are a few brands that offer shorter length polo shirts, which I’ll list below.

But first, how should a polo shirt fit?

Table of Contents

The shoulder seams should sit on top of your shoulder bones. They shouldn’t hang down on your upper arms. If they do, this means they’re too wide.

The sleeves should stop about halfway down your biceps. If they go past mid-bicep, closer to your elbow, they’re too long.

They should be relatively fitted, as polo shirt sleeves are constructed with a ribbing that’s meant to grab your arm gently.

If the sleeves don’t grab your bicep like this, size down or start doing more bicep curls

This is largely up to personal preference, but I think most guys look good in polo shirts that are fitted, but not tight.
