Polo Ralph Lauren Eyewear - All About Vision

If you prefer clean lines and a modern take on classic American style, Polo Ralph Lauren eyewear may add the perfect finishing touch to your look.

Polo Ralph Lauren is the product of American clothing designer Ralph Lauren’s vision. The brand reached a defining moment in the 1970s with the debut of the Ralph Lauren polo shirt featuring the iconic polo player and pony logo.

The history of Polo Ralph Lauren 

Polo Ralph Lauren is one of four brands under the umbrella of fashion giant, the Ralph Lauren Corporation. The other three Ralph Lauren brands are Ralph Lauren Luxury, Lauren Ralph Lauren and Chaps.

The Polo Ralph Lauren brand was founded in 1967 when Ralph Lauren launched the Polo line of men’s ties. The designer was inspired by “the glamour of old Hollywood” to create wide ties made from luxury fabrics. He launched his first full menswear collection the following year. 

In the 1970s, Ralph Lauren opened the Polo by Ralph Lauren shop in Bloomingdale’s department store and then went on to open several other stores in major cities across the U.S. In 1972, he introduced the Ralph Lauren polo shirt, which quickly became a timeless classic.

The Polo Ralph Lauren brand includes clothing and accessories marketed toward affluent men, women and their children. These families travel and spend leisure time engaged in activities such as golf, sailing and horse riding.

Polo Ralph Lauren has a license deal with global eyewear company EssilorLuxottica to design, manufacture and distribute Polo sunglasses and glasses.

“Polo Ralph Lauren is the enduring symbol of a modern-day American lifestyle: easy, energetic, young and cool.” The spirit of the Polo Ralph Lauren brand is perhaps best described as:

  • Authentic

  • Classic

  • Spirited

  • Timeless
