Key pieces this autumn from Polo Ralph Lauren: Polo Originals

From the race track to the academic world

Similar to the technology and mechanics behind a well-built racing machine, Polo Originals combines quality craftsmanship with understated elegance. The collection showcases traditional tailoring and vintage materials, presented in timeless styles. Drawing inspiration from the illustrious history of English motorsport and academia, it pays tribute to the brand's rich heritage. The result is a collection that embodies an enduring style with exquisite craftsmanship and carefully selected fabrics. See selected key pieces from the collection below.

This garment claims its name from a small island in Scotland, where the manufacturing process was initially done by hand using yarn to create detailed patterns in a wide colour palette. The result was a garment that is as elegant as it is functional and is today a symbol of classic craftsmanship. Pair it with an Oxford shirt, washed jeans and chukka boots to embrace autumn.

Drawn directly from the archive, this striped cotton shirt has a polished Polo look with its vintage-inspired fabric that creates a more structured garment, when compared to a regular cotton shirt. The contrasting club collar which is also called "Eton" originates from the late 19th century and was then part of the Eton school uniform. A great option to wear with your tweed suit to add elegance.

There are few garments as synonymous with autumn as a knitted cardigan. With a shawl collar, the cardigan is excellent for cold and rough autumn weather. Worn as a layer together with tweed, thoughts deviate to idyllic walks in the English countryside.
