Synopsis
Embodying a chic casualness that is uniquely American, the Polo shirt is a cultural symbol, worn by everyone from movie stars and presidents to athletes and artists.
The Polo shirt is to Ralph Lauren what Mickey Mouse is to Disney or the Empire State Building is to New York City. Whether worn with the collar popped up, open and untucked, or dressed up under a suit jacket, the Polo embodies the optimism of American style. In Lauren’s words, “It’s honest and from the heart and hopefully that is what touches the diversity of all who wear it. It was never about a shirt, but a way of living.
”Featuring a gallery of stars from the worlds of sports, politics, film, and music—from Leonardo DiCaprio and Spike Lee, to Bill Clinton and Oprah Winfrey, to Pharrell Williams and Venus Williams—as well as everyday people who make the Polo their canvas for self-expression, The Polo Shirt looks at the enduring cool of a wardrobe classic.
Included are the full range of colors, styles, and fits the shirt has been produced in during its more than 50 year history. From the classic white to the weathered Polo, from the striped Polo to the US Olympic, US Open, and Wimbledon Championship collaborations, this catalogue celebrates the full spectrum of the Polo, making it a collector’s dream.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Embodying a chic casualness and ease that is uniquely American, the iconic Polo shirt has become a cool cultural symbol, worn by everyone from movie stars and presidents to athletes and artists. Whether worn layered and with the collar up in a classic preppy style, dressed up under an elegant suit jacket, or open and untucked in a relaxed display of casual chic, the Polo shirt has come to embody the optimism and confidence of American style.Seen through the lens of the many photographers who have been capturing people wearing the shirt, each in their own expressive ways, for nearly fifty years, The Polo Book is a fascinating look at the enduring cultural cool of a wardrobe staple. From the timeless look of the white Polo forty-eight colors (and color combinations), the shirt is designed to be versatile, proving itself adaptable to a variety of effortlessly stylish looks.It all originated in the early 1970s when Ralph Lauren couldn't find a good knit shirt in the colors he wanted. So he invented one, hitting upon the perfect waffle weave that would wear and weather well, in distinctive colors that would only look better with age. In the process he created a classic that spans the worlds of fashion, sports, politics, film, art, music, and even royalty, who have given it star power and a certain status all over the world.Whether worn layered and with the collar up in a classic preppy style, dressed up under an elegant suit jacket, or open and untucked in a relaxed display of casual chic, the Polo shirt has come to embody the optimism and confidence of American style.To celebrate the many colors the Polo shirt has been offered in over the years, the book's cover is clothed in the texture of the waffle-weave knit and is offered in six different classic colors.
