Pretty straightforward question. I'm just wondering if there would be a way to do this without looking like an idiot. I have a few slim-fitting polo shirts that it could work with, but I am not sure what the general perception is about the look.

why would you want to wear a tie with a polo?
Honestly, I don't have a huge desire to wear a tie specifically. For whatever reason I am really in the mood for an accessory.
I suggest a watch or sunglasses
I would love a watch, but I have the smallest wrists of anyone I know. Do you have any suggestions on a watch that would work for this? Everything looks like it is too big for me.
Older watches are much slimmer. Something from the 70s is typically very slim. I have a 33mm timex with 16mm lugs and I love it.
I have super skinny wrists too and the Timex Weekender fits me great and still has the ability to go even smaller.
The general perception/consensus is that no, it will never look good wearing a polo+tie. Except maybe if you are in a band.
Ultimately (sadly), it kind of comes down to this:
If you're thin and handsome it should work fine.
Thin, yes. Handsome, really depends on who you talk to. I feel like the 90's/00's really made this idea a bad one. Like you said, it could work if I was in a band. Which is exactly why it doesn't work.
Why are you wanting to wear a tie with a polo?
No.
No.
Thanks, I was thinking it was probably not going to be a good idea. Just checking to make sure.
