Product Overview
The Russell Europe Women's stretch polo represents a sophisticated shift from traditional, boxy workwear. Designed specifically with a feminine silhouette in mind, this polo shirt balances a contemporary slim fit with the functional performance required in a busy professional environment. The inclusion of genuine Lycra fibre ensures the garment retains its shape throughout the working day and beyond, providing a reliable fit that does not sag or lose its structure over time.
This is not merely a standard uniform piece; it features thoughtful design elements such as a slimmer four-button placket and a short leaf collar that elevate its appearance above common utility garments. Whether you are representing your business at a trade event or managing a front-of-house team, this polo provides a polished appearance without sacrificing comfort.
Key Features
- Premium Cotton-Stretch Blend: The 95% cotton and 5% Lycra composition offers a beautifully soft handfeel while providing the elasticity needed for ease of movement and shape retention.
- Tailored Slim Fit: The specific cut and longer length provide a modern, flattering silhouette that stays in place throughout the working day.
- Detailed Four-Button Placket: A slimmer, more elegant placket with contrast buttons adds a touch of refined detail to the classic polo design.
- Reinforced Construction: A strip of self-colour fabric along the shoulder seam and shorter side vents with herringbone tape ensure the garment withstands the rigours of daily wear.
- Ribbed Cuffs: These assist in maintaining the shape of the sleeves and prevent them from stretching out after repeated use.
Design & Performance
The performance of this polo is rooted in its fabric technology. By blending high-quality cotton with Lycra, Russell Europe has created a medium-weight garment that feels substantial yet breathable. The fabric's ability to stretch and recover means it moves with the wearer, which is essential for tasks requiring a high range of motion.
Technical attention to detail is evident in the finishing. The short leaf collar provides a crisp, professional neckline, while the side vents, reinforced with herringbone tape, allow for better ventilation and a comfortable fit over the hips. These engineering choices ensure the garment remains durable and maintains a superior finish after repeated laundering.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This medium-weight polo is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, allowing you to tailor the garment to your specific branding requirements. For a traditional and durable professional appearance, we recommend embroidery. It is particularly effective for company logos or staff names on the chest, providing a three-dimensional, high-quality finish that lasts.
Alternatively, if your branding requires larger or more complex graphics, our precision printing processes are well-suited to this smooth cotton-rich surface. Our expert team in Telford, who have been perfecting garment customisation since 1976, will ensure your branding is applied with absolute precision, maintaining the professional integrity of your team's appearance.
Use Cases
Given its elegant cut and durable fabric, this polo is ideal for corporate environments, hospitality staff, and retail teams who require a smart-casual uniform. It is equally suited to active roles where a professional image must be maintained despite physical activity, such as personal trainers, consultants, or site managers.

Practical Advice
This polo is a slim-fit garment; if you prefer a more relaxed fit or intend to wear a base layer underneath during colder months, you may wish to consider selecting a size larger than your usual. The longer length makes it ideal for tucking into trousers or skirts for a more formal appearance. It layers effectively under knitwear or softshell jackets without adding unnecessary bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and fit of the Lycra fibres, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes daily grime while protecting the elastic properties of the fabric, ensuring the polo keeps its shape for longer. Failing to follow temperature guidelines can lead to a loss of elasticity over time.
This garment is suitable for tumble drying. We advise using a low heat setting to prevent any potential damage to custom embroidery or print. Proper drying helps the fabric remain soft and reduces the need for heavy ironing, which can eventually wear down the natural cotton fibres.
