Description
Polo Club is a menswear and lifestyle brand known for its preppy, country-inspired aesthetic, built around polo shirts, knitwear, tailored jackets, and polo-sport references. It is associated with a heritage-leaning subculture that values classic American and English sportswear, understated luxury, and a stylized link to equestrian and leisure traditions.
History
Polo Club was founded by Ralph Lauren in 1967 under the name Polo Fashions, initially as a men's tie company before expanding into a broader line of clothing. The brand's Polo Club of Boca Raton line and related sub-labels helped popularize the polo shirt and preppy styling in American fashion during the 1970s and 1980s. Its imagery and product categories shaped mainstream perceptions of Ivy League and country-club dress, and it remains part of the Ralph Lauren Corporation's portfolio.
