FYI
The inspiration for the inaugural Polo Sport, according Ralph Lauren, was historical track-and-field iconography, vintage athlete uniforms and Olympic posters from the 1930s.
There's a lot of bold,
optimistic energy in these pieces
For some time now, '90s style—with its bright colors, bold graphics and big sportswear silhouettes—has been gaining steam. This summer, it's still going strong, and we're not mad at it. Because it's a trend you can easily dip your toe into without going overboard. It can be as subtle as throwing on a pair of silky Umbro shorts with a T-shirt or easygoing button-down. Or it can be as bold as a neon pair of kicks or colorblocked sweatshirt. Just look at Polo Sport, Ralph Lauren's athletic offshoot that deftly mixed sportswear with denim and became a status symbol with a cult-like following. The brand just relaunched with two capsule collections that are a mix of archival reissues and updated pieces that have been tweaked for 2019. We're mixing an item or two from the new collection with a few other throwback staples for a summer look with plenty of '90s energy (that doesn't look like a costume).
