Some brands are so deeply woven into the fabric of contemporary fashion that they don’t need to reinvent themselves. Polo Ralph Lauren falls squarely into this category. Having outfitted America’s prep scene and much of the hip-hop community throughout the ‘90s and ‘00s, it’s no stretch to say it’s a cross-genre icon at this point. But, with the Polo Ralph Lauren FW21 collection, the brand has a distinctively modern focus.
As well as the trusted favorites like embellished knitwear and corduroy shirts, this season sees Polo Ralph Lauren venture into the world of technical sportswear with a range of double-knit pieces complete with contemporary detailing.
To usher in a new wave of Polo Ralph Lauren staples, we’ve rounded up 10 of our top picks of the season with the help of HHV.
Every fall/winter wardrobe needs a handful of zip-through fleeces to cater to layering and, obviously, coziness. This paneled iteration is a departure from the preppy knits we’re used to at Ralph Lauren, but no less attractive.
Ralph has been fulfilling our crewneck needs for years, but this double-knit construction finished with a zip pocket to the chest is a newcomer.
Winter doesn’t know what’s about to hit it. This lengthy puffer is basically the only piece of outerwear you need for when the mercury drops.
In classic varsity style, this grey 1/3 zip pullover takes inspiration from retro tracksuits.
A tapered fit and elasticated cuffs make these cotton cargo pants another central aspect of the brand’s renewal.
Alongside new arrivals are the trusted classics like this corduroy shirt. In deep green, it’s set for your muted seasonal wardrobe.
As the name suggests, these beige chinos are a favorite of the prep gang and with a new era of prep taking off right now, it’s high time you invested in the staple.
One of Ralph Lauren’s most iconic pieces, the pony-logo knit is part of every collection. Combining the teddy bear and pony logo, this one is a celebration of all things Ralph.
The beauty of prep essentials is that they’re highly versatile. Style this rugby long-sleeve with your stay-at-home sweats or tailored trousers — it will never look out of place.
A figurative cherry on top (or bottom) of every fit this season should be a pair of classic Ralph Lauren crew socks. You can’t go wrong.
