Celebrate Your Inner Coastal Grandma with the Polo Shirt’s 50th Anniversary
Is there anything more iconic than Ralph Lauren’s Polo shirts? The garment has defined American style to its core, with a simple design that made a huge impact—we can all admit we’ve tried popping our collars one too many times. And with the “Coastal Grandma” aesthetic making headway across the internet (we didn’t know there was a catchy TikTok genre for how we dressed, but we’re #hereforit!), it’s prime time to celebrate the quintessential wardrobe staple for its 50th anniversary.
“It was never about a shirt, but a way of living.”
Ralph Lauren is celebrating its most iconic product with a new coffee table book, Ralph Lauren’s Polo Shirt, published by Rizzoli International. The book goes into detail about the history of the famed Polo top through beautiful imagery, and is told through the personal stories of celebrities, politicians and presidents, royals, world-class athletes, as well as everyday people—and their stories of how they made the Polo their own and inspired others to follow suit along the way.
We all know and love the classic white to the weathered Polo, the Earth Polo, and (of course!) the US Olympics, the US Open, and Wimbledon Championship collaborations—and the tome celebrates it all.
