Bought a Ralph lauren custom fit polo last week and it came in today and I like it but didn't notice that it has a longer tail...

I wear polos untucked with jeans or shorts so should I leave it how it is or go to my tailor and get the back even with the front?

Does it look noticeably ridiculous if you wear it untucked the way it is? I can't really tell because I'm obsessing over it lol.

It's a part of the design of the polo to have a tail. Unless the tail is ridiculously longer than the front, don't bother with it. Even if the tail IS much longer than the front, it would probably be better to reduce the tail but not remove it.

The tail is a part of the tennis polo's history and most polos come with a tail anyways. It will look fine.
