Not quite. Polo is a sub-label designed to appeal to a particular segment of their market. Ralph Lauren was a rags to riches story, and came to prominence for their chic and preppy stylings. They emphasize sophistication and comfort in their releases. They’d suit a student of a high caliber university, for example, or a classy young professional. Think of Polo as Ralph Laurens’ more casual, sporty cousin. It’s aimed at a slightly younger demographic, focused on activewear and pieces inspired by the traditions and trends of sport. What both brands have in common is principles of high quality and attention to detail- which I appreciate!
