LOL. My grandfather wouldn't have dreamed of wearing Polo. Polo wasn't widely available or popular until the 1980s. And I can remember how many, many old-school types thought it was just too trendy, faddish and designerish to wear. (I still don't like to wear it.)

Classiness isn't a trend that fades away over time. We just like to keep it classy at all time, no matter what we may be doing.

Good clarification, because, as should be clear, holding to the classics doesn't guarentee classiness.
